[ Well, the good news is that he is absolutely not an idiot and he understands quickly. ]
You were making sure I'm acting, not being reactive? Not often. When I am it's about me, not about plans.

What are you like when you are being reactive? How big are your expressions?

It depends. What am I reacting to, who else is involved, what are the risks?

Someone kills someone on your team. Or a lover. The plan is at stake. What do you do?

Adapt the plan to their absence.
That's not an individual scenario, Paul, it's a team one.

My telepathic wife is a psychologist.
[ Sort of. Then there was Charles. ]
There's just no time for healthy coping when your survival is actually in question. Which I'm sure you get.

Your wife being your psychologist would be a conflict of interest.
But I do get it. I'm wondering how well it works here--for those of us who are used to just pushing on when we lose people.
