[If it gets past the 4th ring and he doesn't pick up it will go to answering machine.]

This is Claudio. Leave a message and I'll get back to you if I can.

[Well. Officially in a land Terry knows all too well. Really too well. It's probably good Claudio can't see him right at the moment because he knows he doesn't counter the stricken look fast enough, and can't quite get back to normal or something approaching it fast enough. Sometimes, he remembers how alike they can be, and sometimes, that just fucking hurts.

He wouldn't wish the way he feels on anybody.

My mom's in a mental hospital. Because of me. [It's out before he really knows he's said it, and he knows, with as close as they are, Claudio can probably feel him tense up. But now that he's started, he keeps going because he knows how this feels. These kinds of fuck ups, they always happen to the people you're close to. Like when he attacked Jinx. Like with mom. Hell, when the powers went batshit, he'd attacked Claudio, too. So yeah. He knew.] We...We were fighting. Over something stupid. Lost control. Showed her what she was-.....woke up, and she wouldn't stop screaming.

[His voice cracks, and he stops, because, that's not the point. That's not the fucking point. It's not about a fucking pity party. He doesn't deserve it. Facts. Continue. Right. He sounds a little less stable as he goes on, though he does recover.]

What I've got? It's dangerous. It can- There's nothing good in this. And if I can train it, so can you. Now you know it's there, and we just figure it out. Like you'd train anything else.

[Terry hadn't even realized quite how tense he'd gotten, how hard it had been to say all of that, until he'd gotten through it. He just felt awkward and kind of raw, and even though he leaned in to the kiss, he was sort of glad for the space after. People. Still not great with people. (Even if he'd sort of decided that Claudio didn't really count as people in that sense. Still. ) He'd closed his eyes to sort of get a hold of his brain and what the fuck he was doing, and when he opened them, once again realized he'd completely lost any real chance at eye contact for the moment. But that was okay. Claudio was sort of shit at dealing with people, too. Made things easier.]

I said, it's fine. I get it. I'm not-[Liar. Try again.]...mad about that. [Better. And yes, he did completely pretend as if he'd missed the first part of the apology. Just another thing a bit to hard to deal with. Apologizing to him wouldn't fix anything. Trauma's fault, anyway.]

Mine was-[No. Trying for honesty. Let's keep with that.]....is. Pretty bad. So temper's got nothing to do with it. Just have to work at it. It's not going to be perfect, but we should be able to figure out triggers. Shit like that.

[Despite Terry's personal issues, there was only so long he was able to stand there, before he rolled his eyes and went to drop down next to him. Despite what Claudio seemed to think, Terry was fairly sure they could get this under control. Gabriel wasn't totally useless, and Jinx was another expert on unhelpful powers. Between them he was sure they all had it covered.]

Probably thought you could convince me? I don't know. .....

[And then Terry sighs like the put upon person that he is, and bumps shoulders with Claudio to get his attention.]

I trust you. They will too. Relax. There are worse ways to find this crap out....[There's a pause, and the next part may be a joke. It's hard to tell.] Still going to have to talk about not ever asking why weren't having the conversation about the hunting grounds field trip.
