That should be sufficient to keep him from taking your powers. He's a dangerous, potentially unstable person.

I don't want you nearer to him than absolutely necessary.

I won't be. [ he speaks, crossing his arms over his chest, holding onto his upper arms. ] You don't need to tell me twice.

[ ... ] I know you're busy, but... can I do anything besides my job? Do you... [ need anything? ]

All right. Good. [ That's a breath of relief. It's good to know he'll be all right. ]

Thank you, but at this point it's just a great deal of talking and politics.

[ thankfully he stops himself from bumbling out a quiet 'you were worried?' when he hears echoes of relief in her tone. ]

Yeah. I got the feeling. [ he sighs, shaking his head. ] I wish I could help. But... I'll keep my shifts.

And I'll stay out of trouble. ... Ma'am.

Your shifts are a great help.

[ a hesitation, before saying goodbye. ]

And Riku? You can call me Roslyn or whatever else you like when you're not on duty.

[ somehow, he looks surprised--as if they weren't friends first for such a long time, and then shifts, quiet, unsure, more like the young man he actually is. ]

You don't mind?
