"You know, I have a brother that talks just like that," he says, nodding and while his words don't change, his expression does. A bit softer, not quite as aggressive as he has been, even if he's cold, and hungry, and trying to figure out how his brother could leap through fucking time to pick up girlfriends and umbrellas for his damn margaritas, but this time when it's most important, he fucked it up. But his experience is making him think one thing specifically, and if that's the case, he feels for the guy.
"And when he does, I have to take it all with a grain of salt and a shot of tequila because just because he believes it's real doesn't make it reality for everyone."
Which is him being much kinder than he might have been to many. He knows a lot of it is reality for Klaus, and some of it is but that's the voices coming through to him from the other side. The rest is a lot of drugs to shut out those same voices.
"You know running down all of that and then expecting a stranger to follow you after they've woken up like they've been unwilling committed is basically asking a guy to accept he's running up the stairs rather than out the front door of a horror movie, right?" He doesn't wait for an answer though, just gestures with one hand. "But sure, lead on. I'm willing to play along."
