Klaus nods. "Yeah. Also I keep..." He frowns a little. "My brother would be proud of me. All of them...actually. Allison's a bit mixed up right now, but...but I think she would be, too." A sigh. "Ben most of all, though. He...had to be stuck with me through everything because...well...I was the only one who could see him." As clarification... "He was a ghost at the time." And they wish they could tell them about it, but...no one's here. Hopefully other!Klaus will get their shit together too.
"If my brother had taken the step you are taking now, I would have been proud of him."
Alas, he did not. And now Watson has his watch.
"But I will extend an invitation. If you are alone, and feeling tempted, you may always contact me if you need some support, and I will do my best to be there and a distraction. No questions asked, no judgement."
So he had a brother like them. Klaus gives him a small, sad look, but doesn't say anything, just nods.
"Thanks." There's a long sigh. "You're really nice." Just in case he didn't know somehow. "I appreciate you like taking the time to do this and...if I'm annoying you later. Um. And tell Johnny I said hi? I'll tell him myself, but you know...for today."
"It will never be annoying if you need me, so don't you worry yourself with that." Watson stands, because this conversation has been a lot and Klaus probably needs some time to think it over. "I shall tell him. Take care of yourself."
Klaus does have a lot to think about and probably some time to talk himself out of talking himself out of it. They sigh softly. "I will. Thank you again."
