[Of course he's joking. But of course he's also genuinely worried about Winter overworking himself; he knows how that runs in the family, along with early deaths, and he has many, many reasons for being anxious at that thought. So, while it comes out teasing enough, his voice and expression gentle after he laughs, and he even dares to reach the distance between them and place his hand on Winter's forearm where it curls around his legs.]
I do hope that you aren't, and that if you are, you won't be fool enough to try and bear that alone. Hmm?
