[Shiro don't think he doesn't see what you're doing there!! But he can't exactly... not answer that, so.]

Kinda depends on how you define that, honestly? It's mostly an issue of long-term baggage more than anything immediate. Though, I'll admit, that whole mess just now sure did remind me why I should go back (but to be clear, a lot of people can benefit from therapy, whether they're currently struggling or not).

[shiro2hero]

[He winces a bit. "That whole mess" is right. He feels like he should apologize again for the whole thing. Even though he knows what the response is going to be.]

Anyone ever tell you you're a good man?

[Maybe a bit off-topic, but. It's clear from this entire line of conversation, to him, anyway. Grant is just a good man. A kind, concerned person who really seems like he has things figured out.]

[It's impressive, really.]

Sorry, I
It just kind of hit me there.

[woofdad]

[You're a good man. What a straightforward, genuine, very platonic compliment. There is absolutely no excuse for the way it thumps into his chest.

Stupid. He's literally talking to Shiro right now about how he should seek therapy to help him cope with the disappearance of his husband. Stupid.]

Ha
Now and then

Thank you though. You too

[Stupid]

[shiro2hero]

[Fortunately for Grant, Shiro would be completely oblivious, even if this conversation were happening in person.]

Now and then

[Fingerguns!!]

I
appreciate it though. I really do
I'm not great at this - talking about myself but
thanks

[woofdad]

[Right. Okay. Recovering so he can hold a conversation.]

It's no problem - honestly, I'm glad you were willing to try and talk to me about this at all.

[shiro2hero]

I guess you're just easy to talk to.

[woofdad]

[oh okay back to being Stupid]

oh
Thank you
I guess I'm repeating myself but-- you are too

[shiro2hero]

I appreciate that. I really do.

And I'll talk to Lance. You've got my word on that. I'm sorry, again, that he pulled that stunt.

[woofdad]

[Right, yes, that was how this all started, wasn't it.]

Thank you. I hope you can get through to him.

[shiro2hero]

I will. Might take a while, but, I know him - anyone can get through to him if they try enough.

[woofdad]

I'll take your word for it. Sounds like chances are good, at least, so... fingers crossed.

[shiro2hero]

I'll do whatever I can.

If there's anything else you ever need, I'm game.

[Least he can do for Grant attempting to help him with problems Shiro's not sure he even wants to be helped.]
