... yes. You're very sharp!

[ As if this conversation could have gone any other way. ]

That's what some of the others are suggesting. When he was here we could ask Captain Levi, but he was ported out a while ago.

[Deep breaths, Will. Inwardly, that is. No need to get all huff huff in her ear over the sharp comment, over guardianship. Captain Levi, he remembers Sasha talking about him. He remembers the conversation about him he had with Annie. And, for a brief moment, he wonders if this is something she would appreciate being told about directly, if Sasha is headed the way he thinks she is.

The way he hopes she's going, truthfully.]

Are you asking me about what you'd need to do to get one or are you asking me to sign on as your guardian?

[He already did the probation set up with Ken, it can't be too difficult by comparison.]

[ Suddenly, this is more nerve-wracking than she initially anticipated. She's tired of being told she's too young for this or too young for that, or that she absolutely "needs" a guardian (she's been doing just fine all these months, does that count toward anything?).

But Will is someone she trusts and likes enough to consider. He doesn't seem bothered by her age and how it's apparently supposed to define her and her capabilities. ]

I would like to ask if you could be the guardian whenever I need one? I honestly don't understand how the process works, but if it's not asking too much...!

Just for things like signing out of a hospital or whatever else we apparently need a signature for!

[ Awkward laughter follows. ]

[Oh no, there is no need to be nervous. Skittishness can be overcome with enough dog treats, everything will be Fine. Laugh happily, not awkwardly. Scooby Snack!]

No, that's—that's not asking too much, Sasha. [Quick in spite of the laughter, his reply sincere.] That's definitely all right with me. I can make some calls about the process and see how to have this done as soon as possible, if you'd like.

[Not that he doesn't believe Sasha can, in fact, take care of it if she really wants to, and it's not that he's trying to prop up his "Rely On Me" in meter in her book. He's just lost two people in pretty terrible ways, diving into something familiar but with a much better outcome than usual would be a great distraction.]

[ OF ALL THE ICONS. ]

R-Really?

[ Sasha sounds floored, as if she was expecting to be turned down. ]

[super paternal c:]

Of course. [If he can't turn her down to go to a moderately social event likely packed with teenagers, there is little he can actually say no to after that. Except. Wait.] Just for you, right?

[She did say her and her friends, if she's asking for more than one, that's a good thing to know up front. Not that he minds writing out his signature a few extra times or anything, just nice to be 100% clear.]

Um... well, I'm not sure about it yet. If it's not too much, really... my friends might require someone to act as a guardian for signatures, too. Jean and Armin?

[He wonders for a second if the other two just have no adults to ask or if they tossed this off onto Sasha, both of which don't sit well with him. But she says she's not sure about it yet, so maybe she's simply being proactive. It's a harmful routine to get into, as far as Will's concerned, so he's quiet for a few seconds before:]

If they can't find anyone else to act as a guardian for them, you can give them my name and tell them to talk to me about it. We'll set it up from there.

[He won't say no, but he won't say yes without 100% certainty and actually talking to them. Seems fair and balanced.]

Thank you, Will.

[ She sounds tired, but relief colours her tone. Will is one of the constants in this world she can rely on it seems and she's grateful for it. ]

I promise we won't end up in hospitals again, at least.

[ ... that isn't something one can really promise. ]

[He's just happy to help where he can...when that help doesn't work against him.]

You're welcome. [Totally not something that can be promised, no, but she sounds tired, and bringing this up at all probably took a mental bracing on her part. People make promises they can't keep all the time, and it's better to be in a hospital than some of the more terrifying alternatives. No need for him to go splitting hairs, all that considered. Will's going for agreeable, trying for a compromise they can both consider good enough, and she might pick on sounds of him moving about the room, too. He's got calls to make after this, things to research, legal guardianship processes to read up on and maintain as soon as possible. That dog ain't taking a nap in the sun no more.] You just call me whenever you need me, how's that?

I'll be sure to do that if I need to.

Thank you again. I really mean it.

[She can't see it, but he's smiling. She might be able to hear it, though.]

Glad to hear it. I'll contact you once I get it all set up, and if there's anything you need to sign or do, I'll send that your way, too.

[As soon as it's legally possible for this to go through, if neither of them have extremely terrible accidents in the meantime? It's going to be done.]
