He's from my universe, or a similar enough iteration of it. We're not close.
Back home he's a bit of a celebrity. Never heard anything bad about his management style, other than perhaps that it doesn't exist. I'm sure he'll compensate her appropriately.
"A bit of a celebrity" is admittedly an understatement. He's more like a household name. I read a biography once. And then had to work with a version of him. It wasn't all bad.
In my timeline, he's a hero. Perhaps the greatest. It's a long story.
Anyway, if you do, it'd be good to get a heads up. Not that I don't trust your judgment. But there are enough people here from my universe that it'll be a whole thing.
I take it he doesn't know about that part of it yet. Or he hasn't been made aware.
Rest assured that if I really did plan on stabbing him I wouldn't make my intentions known ahead of time. It might ruin the effectiveness of the surprise. Besides, he's only a mild irritation. Nothing that can't be borne.
You're good at this. It's hard to say whether he is or isn't destined for the same fate. I have my suspicions. But I've been wrong before. In any case, he said he didn't want to know, which is just as well. Hard enough to keep all this space-time business straight without people getting nervous about things that may not come to pass.
That's the spirit.
I still need to thank you for the other day, by the way. I haven't forgotten.
[ which is a damning enough reveal on its own, frankly, although she takes pains not to explicitly mention the party in question. ]
Sometimes it's better for them not to. It'd be pointless when there's nothing they could do about their fate from here, and people have succumbed to more over less with knowledge like that.

It’s hardly Laura I’m concerned for. [ even if this post speaks to the contrary. ] I’d simply rather she receives what she’s worth.

Financially.

The fact that you felt compelled to specify that doesn’t leave me entirely confident.

She might get annoyed and stab him or something.

[ careful, yen; that almost sounded like a compliment. ]
If she doesn't, I may be tempted.

How's the healing progressing?

It’s going well.
Might be able to queue up another footrub any day now.

First footrubs, then what?
