@southernbellum from the PotO sentence starter "You've lost count..?" Why did he care so much? It was his choice to run a farm. His choice to run an illegal drink places. His choice to live the dangerous life style. Yet...didn't he mention it was for his mother? Wilhelm himself didn't have to face the dangers of life from taking care of his mother. No, he was introduced to it in the trenches and the depression following the cruel war. Jon showed the cruelty of the world on his skin, even if some of the scars were from pets. They were enemies, yet they were both men doing what they had to do. Not fighting the sudden urge, Wilhelm gave Jon's hand a gentle squeeze before letting him go. For once, his big mouth kept closed: what was there to say? To ask? If he pushed on, it would be considered rude. Yet...he couldn't simply shrug it off. "I...apologize that you had to face so much at a young age."
