[And he's not lying. The two of you living in a shared delusion is almost cute. There is a darker part of him that speaks at that. Seeing things that aren't there.
He keeps.his hands on hers. They don't need to be connected for him to pick up on her anxiety. You were gone for so long...
He files that away with textbook skill before kissing her cheek. It's such a boyish stupid gesture in his mind, like something he'd do to calm his mother during one of her attacks that his cheeks go pink.]
These are different shadows. There's nothing in them.
[Yet. And even if there were...the pauls had never hurt him. They just had malicious intentions. Looking back as an adult he'd thought it was just the machinations of a small boy and his sister. Children fearing something they didn't understand.
As an adult however he stood armored with science and facts and stared them down because if he didn't he would...he would have done what with them? What could he do with them why did they pick him to stalk. Charlie had seen them but they picked him to surround like valets at attention...
They weren't getting him. Or Alex.]
I won't offer you empty platitudes Alex. You're too smart for that.
I will say that whatever intention the entities have they have never harmed me. Or anyone I love. Just...scared the hell out of them. So if they appear to you or anyone I will...exert what little will I have over them.
[he's not sure, and in his mind he sounds ridiculous but if he's able to do these things and they follow him and they've never left him then...
He goes over that statement. Have? Will? He has no control over any of that. Its a lie.
Right?]
I doubt yelling at then will do much but they won't hurt you or anyone. Not while I'm here.
