[It's... not the exact answer he'd expected, but he doesn't hate it. Especially since that, at least, is what he wants, too. He wants to be himself, he wants to be with Teddy, and he wants this whole problem to just... go away. And while he knows it won't just because he wishes for it - life is never that easy or simple, even for a reality bender, apparently - it doesn't stop him from wanting it more than anything. To give Teddy what he wants, to make him happy. To keep him close.]
