[There's a lot there already. He's not the guy to go to about the legality of anything. Probably not the go-to guy for philosophical quandaries, either. One part Ship of Theseus, one part if a tree falls in the woods, a lot of parts a question of human consciousness and souls. If the thing that granted his life is gone, then is the body anything more than just a vessel? (Natasha's corpse had to be left on an alien world fuck knows how far away fuck knows how many years ago. Is it still her?)
But Wanda's had a lot taken from her. Every part of her family, from parents to brother to lover. Her home no longer exists, the remnants of Sokovia split up to the neighboring countries.
And then a new home. For them. Reduced to a plot of land for one.
There's a comment he could make, a suggestion after the fact. He's pretty good at home improvement projects. Knows people who knows people. Could've built something for her. But that's not the point, and he knows it. The problem with the kind of pain that Wanda feels is that feeling it with the whole of her self means feeling it with her magic.
It hurt so much. She couldn't stop it. With the kind of power inside of her, how could she?]
I don't know the details. [He'll admit that much.] But a couple thousand people stopped existing for a while, and when they came back... [A light shrug. Let her fill in the details.] I know what the fallout implies.
[Wanda's never touched his mind deliberately. He'd made a very emphatic point about that the only time she's ever tried. That's what happens when one gets real familiar with the sensation.]
