Hide Yo Kids!

[Will Stanton]

"That's not what I was saying. Rather...the opposite," he said, abashed.

[Samantha McManus]

"...well then, I'll confess that I'm not quite sure how to take that."

"I don't mean to make you feel as if that's wrong, though. What works for you is something I'd never deny you."

[Will Stanton]

"I get that you're not comfortable with it--I don't even really know what 'it' is. So, that's why I was apologizing for making you uncomfortable."

[Samantha McManus]

"Well let's... not get into that cycle again, aye?"

[Will Stanton]

"Aye..." Will said, and then paused, awkwardly.

"Well, whatever I thought is irrelevant, in the long run, right? We'll just...move on on this Aria thing and get that sorted out..."

[Samantha McManus]

"And whatever happens will happen. It's your choice, and I'll try my best to be accommodating."

[Will Stanton]

Will stood up, but paused before heading for the door.

"Professor...

Sam...

When I was growing up, you were probably my second-favorite superhero, especially when my powers started to develop. You were proof that people like me could contribute without being creepy or infringing on other people. And then I got here, and you helped me control my shifting, and you taught me to fly...

I just wanted you to know how...important you've been for me. And whether you're the Morrigan or just the headmistress, my...respect...for you knows no bounds."

[Samantha McManus]

"Believe me, Will. I've... just not wanted to let you down."

[Will Stanton]

"I don't think you could if you tried."

[Samantha McManus]

She smiles faintly.

"Take care, Will. Keep me in the loop, aye?"

[Will Stanton]

"I live down the hall, you're always welcome," he smiled, headed out.
