[That gets Rover to go quiet and contemplative, looking down at him. They'd ask where they saw this version of themself, but - the mirror. It had to have been in the mirror, as weird and fucked up as it was.
They don't know what to say to make Maverick less worried - if it's even possible to have the words for that. So instead, they lean down to press a kiss to Maverick's shoulder, shaking their head.]
I don't know what would do it either, if it ever happens. But you don't know that it will, so just...try not to think too much about it? I like you. I'm not going to just stop liking you unless something drastic happens.
[And...if that happens, there's always the option to fix it. To overwrite whatever change happened and get Rover back to who they were before. But maybe they shouldn't say that right now.]
