That's good to know. I doubt I'd be able to tell the difference between them though, so I really do appreciate that you've kept them away from me! It hasn't been too much trouble, has it?

It's certainly nothing I'm unwilling to deal with.

[...He loves his dogs, okay.]

[You love your dogs so much, don't you...]

I'm pleased to hear it! I suppose it's a little silly since I've mostly caught up on my sleep by now, but I don't really want to leave just yet.

[Not like he'd have problems catching up on sleep in his own house, but it's safer here. Sure, there aren't any monsters around anymore and he doesn't need to be worried about his own safety, but it's easier to pretend that's the reason why he's over here instead of the real reason. Wesker's doing okay though, isn't he? This conversation has been a bit of a roller coaster, but he seems to have settled now.]

[...Look, he loves his dogs but he knows you don't, and he is entirely willing to ensure they don't harass the shit out of you while you're here, especially since they're doing a fair amount of expressing themselves in an incredibly bitey manner right now.

That said, he's quiet for a moment before he responds to that.]

I'd like it if you stayed a bit longer as well.

[O-Oh, that's nice...]

Then I'll stay! I really don't wish to overstay my welcome, but I'm pleased to hear it!

[It's gotten a genuine smile out of him, anyway.]

If I thought you were, I wouldn't offer in the first place.

[Jaeger, really.]

Oh, I know! I know you wouldn't offer unless you really meant it!

[You're not the sort to offer to be polite. You'd tell him if you were sick of his presence here.]

[Exactly.]

As long as you're aware.

[...That said, he'll go back to toying with that pen to give his hands something to do; he really is all right, or at the very least he's far more settled now - enough to be all right seguing into silence again for a little while, at least, because even if Jaeger seems to prefer filling quiet with words, he's never really felt the need to.]

[Once again the silence is comfortable, but Jaeger's never been very good at keeping quiet. It's good that Wesker seems to have settled though, and he can recognize that the silence isn't a bad thing at all.]

I should probably open the shop back up soon. I can't afford to keep it closed forever!

[Yes he can, actually, but that's not the point.]

[...He understands the sentiment with regards to work, at least.]

I've called in to work for the duration. I've a fair amount of paid leave - if anything, they seem relieved that I'm actually using it for once.

How lucky! I do think it's good for you to take some time off to relax!

Bluntly put, I wouldn't bother if the past three weeks had been less aggressive.

[He is totally one of those people who show up to work the day after something horrible happens citywide, just because what the fuck else is he supposed to do.]

That's understandable, I think. You want to get your life back in order as soon as possible, ja?

I'm glad you're taking the time off to recover, though.
