[Oh no. Ohhhhh nonono. That really is a rather big task to take on and he's, truthfully, a little afraid of the responsibility like that. There's really no polite way to say "the last time someone asked me to lead I nearly destroyed western civilization" and if he's honest he doesn't want to do that again. He wants to be better. He's back for a reason and it's only because of Frankenstein that he's realized what that might be.

So he doesn't quite respond immediately. He looks at her quietly, tilting his head like one would expect from a dog whose heard a particularly interesting sound, and his lips quirk into a disbelieving smile.]

That's a pretty big set of shoes to fill, wouldn't you say? [It's not an indirect yes and it's not an indirect no. He's not sure how he feels on it, but he does know she's correct. Someone needs to organize people. And...he's been able to control people before. He used to be able to take care of people. It's clear there's internal debate before he shakes his head again.] I can't guarantee I can always keep everybody in line. [...but, if he thinks about it...] I can try though. We don't know how long this game will last but I kinda made a promise to someone that I'd like to keep. I think this ties right into that.

That's a little trusting though, don't you think? [He doesn't want to discourage her. But he wants her to be certain in her choices.] You think he'd approve?
