Wendy's facial expression shifts on a dime. "Oh, don't say that." She scolds, having half a mind to swat his shoulder playfully. But after Jack died, she'd made a promise that no one would ever put their hands on him again, including her. Her brows knit together in that gentle concern she'd always shown for her boy after everything they endured. "I think your brain is just fine where it is, Doc. Even if it needs a little fine-tuning." She smiles and is just about to muss his hair before remembering he's a teenager now, and they didn't like that sort of thing. At least she'd hated it when her father insisted on doing it to her as a child.
Dan looks up at his mom and bites back a sigh. He hates getting sighed at, and tries not to be just a shithead at someone who can't really understand what's going on in his brain. Fine-tuning won't begin to cover what needs fixing. Instead, he puts her hand in his hair to muss with.
No one will touch him again even me I won't swat even in play should I touch his hair? I hated it when I was his age
And over and over and over.
Dan flinches away from her hand and puts his face in his hands. "Sorry," he mutters, rubbing at his lips. "The... the Shine is loud today. Needs fine-tuning."
