I must confess, [Steven says, quietly,], that all of this is... not entirely new to me. The whole being taken somewhere else and my body being changed thing. So when I realized that it was happening to me again, with my body being reset first... I got most of my freaking out over with then.

[At some point he'll have someone he trusts enough here to... go on the kind of rambling rant he needs to, just to drain the tension, but until then he can keep outwardly calm about this. In a very real way he needs to.

Steven's a big fan of Fake It 'Til You Make It.]

Honestly, the place I was taken before allowed me much less freedom of movement than I have here.
