[ She sees the flinch and slows down a little, making her movements much slower and gentler. Not that he's in pain, of course. Just because she feels like it. ]
You've got enough time to do it. [ Jo looks up at him from where she's focused on his hand, giving him a small shrug. ] Not a whole hell of a lot to do here. And everyone loves learning a whole new reality.
[He nods, and the pain is washing out; no, more like if you give it enough time, pain feels like it's normal. Thuds out into something like a flatline, easy to ignore if you put your mind to it. He smiles and his eyebrows raise.] More than just one new reality.
Think there's more than one version of us out there, too? Straight out of a sci-fi flick?
You've only got to worry about this one. Screw wherever the rest of these people came from.
[ Because one is enough. One new reality where people come back to life and go crazy all at the same time is enough for Jo to worry about. She kind of snorts when he mentions other versions of themselves, finishing up with her wrap-job. ]
Depends on how you wanna think about it. I don't want to meet mine if there is, but technically the you I know from home is different from you. But that's a little too sci-fi for me, thanks.
[He's quiet at that for a moment, thinking. It probably wasn't intended to, but the mention of him captures his attention.]
What kind of different am I?
I mean — what am I like.... in the future?
[He says it with a wince, humored like she's about to tell him he's an old cat lady ranting about politics in the future, or something. Nothing more concerning than someone telling you you're not the same you. Which, he knows, makes sense; people change.
[Oh, Jo, he's got oodles of childhood trauma moments.
but his hair though]
Depends on which time we're talking about. The time he tried to give me a haircut when I was still in elementary school, or the time he pranked me by putting nair in my shampoo bottle?
[Which was actually really fucking horrifying when it happened.

You're taller, if that's even possible. And your hair? Needs a haircut. Real bad.

That bad, really?

besides my height]

For no reason you can think of.
