[It probably isn't a good sign that he isn't bursting into tears. He feels too numb to manage anything aside from the hug, and reaching out in the first place. The latter was a big step for him.]

Monsters are easy, even the ones that win sometimes. I'd take the Lich again over this any day.

[ Kurt makes an agreeable noise, gently rubbing Fern's shoulder. ]

Do you want to talk about him? It might help.

[It might, or it might make him actually start crying. He isn't really sure which is more likely, so he's going to go with Kurt's suggestion.]

Well... he definitely wasn't from Ooo. He was a regular human, and he was really smart. And really nervous most of the time, 'cause he didn't really get along with people. He worked for the FBI [He's over-pronouncing that, eff-bee-eye, still pretty unfamiliar with the whole concept] to help them catch criminals.

He does sound smart, if he worked with the FBI. [ Kurt's experiences with government officials have been less than stellar, but he ignores the impulse to be snippy and squeezes Fern a little instead. ]

I'm sorry I didn't know him better. He was clearly very important to you.

[Since the FBI doesn't exist in Ooo Fern's entire knowledge of the organization lies with Will, so he only has good impressions of it. He nods a little.]

He was really smart. And he liked keeping to himself, so don't worry about it.

[Chances are Will would've just been prickly towards Kurt, honestly.]

We'd go fishing, sometimes. He had a boat and was really good at it.
