[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.]
[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?
[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.]

[ 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. ]
