[ if he wanted to, winn could sit here quietly for hours, just being stubborn. but kitty is waiting for him back on the windrose, and he does feel like he needs to say this out loud at least once. if anyone will acknowledge his fears and treat them respectfully, experience taught him it'd be jim.

This should've happened when I was a teenager, or in college, right? But people don't like criminals or their families, people don't like nerds, how do you think someone who's both did? I feel like I'm a teenager again, and not just in the exploration way. If I say 'she has no idea what she's doing, I have no idea what I'm doing, and I still liked it' I may as well just paint a target on my back and top it off with a 'shoot me' sign. And I think I just proved how bad I still am at self defense.
