"Ah, but I'm training you all in the crazy. Give me time." G smirked, the unofficially patented G Callen I'm-Brilliant-and-You-Will-Soon-be-Dazzled-by-That-Brilliance wicked smirk. "But, don't worry. I wasn't going to give you that argument at all. I was, rather, going to say that, as normal is defined as 'The usual, average, or typical state or condition. Conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected', then whatever is typical or average for the members of this group now constitutes the definition of normal. We are now the only human society, as we know it, on the planet, after all. We are the world." And, yeah, he was well aware how much most of them wouldn't take the kind of comfort in that he did.
G had a fleeting image of Thomas Hammond squaring off with Hetty Lange over wardrobe and tried not to choke on his silent laughter. "I'm sure he would be, but it's fine. I'll know it when I need to know it, for whatever cover I wear that actually knows and cares about style and fashion. Until then, I think I'll stick to jungle chic." Silent laughter turned into audible chuckles. "If people have time for massages without using any scented oils or lotions or any such accoutrements, they can be my guest. Plenty of mud around for mud baths. Hair cuts shouldn't be a problem, though. Just need to find the people who can do it for you. We can burn all the cuttings after."
He shook his head. "You're misunderstanding me. I don't mean you come to me first above all others. We might have been partners when I left, but it was a short time and I've been gone a long time. You hardly know me and you have others to turn to when you need help, others who get your specific demons more. But, we all have demons to fight. In most people's lives there comes a time when they don't feel they can turn to friends or lovers or partners. I'm saying when you get to that point, and you will because we all do, you try to come to me before you give in to the drugs...or after, if that's how it works. I'll have your back either way. And I do understand having that fallback option that makes everything seem better. It's not drugs, but it's a habit all the same, something I fight against every day. So, I do get how drugs are your always and never option. I have one, too. It just isn't drugs."
