No, talking's fine. People don't try to explain things nearly enough sometimes, or try at all.
[Like with understanding those more intangible mysteries like magic, or Cal's Force. Cal had been good in trying to explain it to him, had put the effort into making it something Donnie can grasp.
Data calms him down, weirdly enough. He visibly relaxes as he listens to Velocity reason out what he's experiencing. To his credit he only frowns a little when time seems the best solution for what he's dealing with, but then he's not really surprised there. It's just something to get used to again, which sounds funny when it's your own body.
There's nothing he can argue about when it circles back to feelings. It just seems like everything in the universe has been intending to prove him anything but an emotionally unavailable bad boy and it's been...frustrating. More so because he's not sure how to deal with it. Well, except to talk to someone about it, and it's admittedly not his favorite option. He's bad at it.

Why's this have to be so complicated, right?
