I’m afraid I have no idea what you’re talking about here. See, I am a large, semi-muscular man. That means that I was once a large, semi-muscular boy, one who obviously didn’t have fears or nightmares. No sireee. I never feared the Alliance doing horrible things to my family, never cried into my pillow when my dad died, and certainly never woke up in the middle of the night feeling suffocated, like I’d never get off that gorram planet and never be able to see through all the smog.
Nope.
God, it’s good being married to a strong, warrior woman who can protect me. Not that I have any fears nowadays either, mind you. I’m just speaking hypothetically, since I don’t wake up at night worried about being eaten by Reavers, tortured by Niska again, or arrested by the Alliance once more. And I really don’t fear the event of someday becoming a father, which would open up a whole new ‘verse of fears and worries.
Would you get that smirk off your face?
