[Theres a long delay while he emotionally recoils, cycles through a half-dozen needle and nails replies that could blow this up and save him more personal risk.

Well, good news there. I'm almost certain Earth doesn't have psych surgery, so that means any unusual responses are just things you've learned with the parts of you that don't talk. And you're not dead, which means you can unlearn them, or at least lessen their power to ruin your day.
You don't even need to actually trust anyone to work on it, although I've heard it theoretically helps. I didn't trust my psych team any farther than I could kick them, but I still picked up some useful techniques.
Anyway. I figured I should mention that's...possible. I know it's hard to believe from the inside.
I don't trust anyone, so I suppose it's good that's not a requirement.
[He clears his throat.]
Anyway, I... There are some logistical things I need to sort out still, but I'll talk to Zerxus again and maybe we can try a mediated session as a post-holiday experiment.

But also not really my business. So.
