Re: Sean and Robert
"It's really hard not to think of some people as invincible," Sean replied softly. Even when you knew they weren't. Certain people were just supposed to be invincible.
"Savannah is likely to get to know every unit better than anyone else. Or try to." He thought over the rest of what Robert said while they walked a bit. This was why he liked Robert, why he tended to talk to him about things. He didn't feel like a kid when Robert talked, even when he was getting help. Robert never made him feel like the weak link. "You know what's funny about all this? I never wanted to be my dad, actively tried to be anything but. Now, I keep thinking about what they'd do, what they'd want me to do." He took a breath and let it out. "Find my style, huh? Well, nothing about this dimension's been easy this far. I suppose I can deal with a little more and figure it out as I go."
Still, not thinking of himself as a weak link wasn't going to be easy. Not when he was 'the baby' and his hand wasn't a hundred percent and he felt out of us depth with someone relying on him like this. It was totally different than when he'd been partnered with the others. "You know, except for the couple weeks or so paired with Derek, I don't think I've ever been partnered with someone not in the family?"
