[He returned that look with a thoughtful curiosity.]
I'm not afraid of a little pain, you know.
[Because he was the sort of man who didn't play 'nice' with others unless the others were willing to bend the rules. Even his current trials were something he could handle, even if they were rough.]
I...have actually been watching out for possible emotional transference all ready, because I wasn't certain. I didn't want my own problems affecting you while you were...recovering.
[He, in many ways, was recovering himself. Soon enough he would speak to the man in the tunnels and have his affliction removed...and then the show could finally go on.
Lupin sighed heavily. There were too many variables, too many factors in play, that he couldn't predict what even the next month would bring. Halloween always brought a Shift, he heard. Last winter there was a draft in the middle of a blizzard.
Above all, his own life needed to stabilize. He had plans, and he kept on pushing them back because of everything else. It was tiring. He was tired.]
...You know? We'll need to see how that goes. I admit, I'm curious to see what that would be like...but not right now. You wouldn't like being in my head too much right now.
Winter is coming, and several holidays with it. Let's hope that the Malnosso don't do anything to screw that up. And...maybe everyone will feel a little better after Christmas.
