I wish more people could say that. [and he pauses again, trying to choose his words...]
The girl who was at the focus of some of the chaos...'Gogo'. She's from my world, and I visited her in the hospital a little bit ago. She's...well, she's in a bad way. Long story short, she needs someone to talk to, and I was hoping that...well, maybe you could help me figure out someone she could trust. There's only about one person I know in that field that I could vouch for, right now.
The only therapists that deal with imPorts, as far as I know, are Crane, who suuuucks, and this guy I've never met. Chill something? He wasn't given a good review either.
Considering Crane was the one who did this to her...
[there's a tight edge to his voice; one she's probably only rarely heard from him, if at all. repressed anger, something else
but it's gone when she puts two and two together]
...if you have room in your schedule, I'd like you to at least talk with her once, and from there- what happens, happens. I'll foot the bill, and she's not a danger in terms of powers, right now. But I'm concerned that if she doesn't get some sort of help, she may end up being one - to herself.
[...to be completely honest, he hadn't thought much about seeing someone else. of course, now that it's brought up, he probably should - especially with everything that happened.
even so.]
...I'll be honest. I don't know if I'm interested in confiding in someone like that again- not right now, anyway. Down the line, maybe.
I'm aware that things aren't perfect, but I'm not about to spill my guts to another 'professional' after- everything. I'm not arguing this. I'll look in to it when it's not so-
[fresh. painful. viscreal.]

Robert whatever your middle name is Callaghan, this is not an argument. You don't want it now, but you'll need it later, and I have more resources in this area than you do. You are going to have a list of providers to choose from whether you want it or not.
What are you going to do, yell at me? Give the silent treatment? Please. You'll get over it.

No, come on, don't even worry about-- Look, just. Get her to call the counseling center and I'll make sure she gets assigned to me.

I mean it. I'd rather her be in the hands of someone I know.

... look, okay. Alright. What were you seeing him for? I'll find someone good, for when you are ready.
And in the meantime, you can talk to me okay? I'm not gonna be your doctor. But you can talk to me.
