You guessed it. A lot of questions, and a lot of 'em phrased as you shouldn't ask a lady.
[Sarcasm and honey-in-winter Hollywood drawling are a comfortable combination, really. But he doesn't want to wear that joke out, so his voice goes back to normal after obliquely implying "Rachel" is anything but a saintly mourning mother.]
As to Vita... hell. I know she hears me, listens when she can, but... "can", that's the important part. She can't always hear me. If I come up behind her too sudden, if anybody does that - being told to give Akira the benefit of the doubt - there's times where she's just right back there about to die and there's nothing to do but make sure she's safe after she comes back.
[He is helpless against her trauma, and he doesn't know what to do, and that hits on his own. It puts an edge of despair to his voice, and makes him cut himself off, makes him try too late to redirect the conversation.] But that's not really what you asked, is it?
