Will thinks over Malcolm's question. Of course he doesn't think Malcolm's stupid to make any decision on this, but getting past that and to the heart of the question...
"I do think that maybe you're too scared it won't help. That you can't let anything try, because if it doesn't help and you get...out of hand, then it's too late," Will replies quietly. "I wish I could give you advice there that isn't just to let it happen."
He sighs and looks up towards the ceiling. Because as much as he'd like a partner in this experience- "I don't want you to follow my path. And I'm not going to let you get demoted. But if you don't let the reins loose a little, the unknown fear will always remain that- unknown. And that means the fear doesn't have a limit, as to how large it can get. I know how consuming that can be."
But he also knows that just makes it harder to let go. The worse it got, the tighter Will clung to his control, until it had been forcibly taken away, multiple times. "Maybe you can let yourself enjoy what you know you enjoy. We'll go running more often. But if something pops up and concerns you, just think of...whether you really don't like it, or whether it's a path you've long since turned away from out of fear. And maybe see if you can get comfortable with the idea of your pack helping you with it." And now that he has it all out, he looks slightly uncertain. "Does that make sense?"
