"Yeah," Will agrees. "But these things do happen here. I think we might continue to get along better than most. You weren't scared by me bursting in here with a gun, that's...a pretty good start." He thinks so, anyway.

He comes around the counter with the plates and sets Malcolm's down, sitting at the bar next to him. "Let me know what you think. I might need to practice some."

Malcolm takes a tentative bite of eggs, then a bigger one.

“They’re good,” he declares, taking another bite. He looks up at Will. “I wasn’t scared because I knew you wouldn’t hurt me. I know you won’t. Not ever.”

"I might on accident," Will admits, after taking a few bites of his eggs. "But I promise I'll try my best not to, not even on accident."

A bit of a heavy topic for a kid, but Will suspects Malcolm can handle it. "I bet we would've gotten along when I was little, too. I wonder why I didn't change this time. Although- I guess we'd have no one to make breakfast if I did."

As with adult Malcolm, child Malcolm remains not at all concerned about the possibility of Will hurting him.

“I bet we could figure it out. I saw the housekeeper do it lots of times.”
