... Huh. That's good. Were you sleeping bad before, or--?

[empathicfault]

Always have, and it got worse when I started working for the FBI. I try to make up for it when I can, but there's only so many catnaps you can take while on a break.

Now I sometimes get five hours at once. That's pretty huge for me. I'm having less entirely sleepless nights, too.

[cactusy]

I guess that'd was implied with being tired all the time. My, uh-- standards are pretty skewed.

You ever need a rest break while we're working, you tell me, got it?

[empathicfault]

Yeah? Okay.

I doubt it'll come up too much in the future. Our activities aren't exactly stressful in the way looking at dead bodies and pretending I killed them was.

[cactusy]

Good. Because none of this - patrolling, keeping an eye on you, everything else - it's not supposed to be a punishment.

[empathicfault]

[ He smiles. ] I know. It's...prevention, more than anything else. Being careful.

I appreciate you being straightforward with me about it. ...even if 'straightforward' is your default state.

[cactusy]

Mm, prevention and being careful, but also learning. Being a Will Graham expert is my job, yeah?

[empathicfault]

[ That actually gets a chuckle out of Will. ]

So many psychiatrists would've killed for that job, you know? Metaphorically.

...mostly metaphorically.
