Hey, uh ... you think we could take a rain check on that for now? [ At least ... for a couple days. Maybe.

But he needs something not-so-worrisome to respond with, so. ] I mean, it's a lot to take in, so I just ... want to take some time to gather my thoughts so I can better explain things to you!
[ He says that all with as light a tone as he can muster. Really, most of what happened isn't so difficult to talk about. It's Gramps that's holding him back, mostly. But he wouldn't feel right telling Mikleo everything but that and keeping it an intentional secret. So he just ... needs a couple days. ]
