(Only heartless people would say dogs don't count as children. They certainly were easier and cuter than children.
Now that was interesting. In the 1950s, people were all about having children. Eddie knew, in theory, there were people who never had kids. But he's never heard of someone explicitly saying they didn't plan on it.)
Why not?
(Not that he seemed particularly bothered by the fact.)
I don't want to kill anyone though...
(Ironic considering in Eddie's future, he did wind up killing one Henry Bowers, but that was hardly relevant. The kid just had more to him than he knew how to give himself credit for- but what twelve year old wasn't like that? No training involved. Just a lot of anger and fear.)
If I were to start training, where should I start? (He bites the corner of his mouth before finally admitting:) I'm...I'm actually pretty good at running.
(This next part though? That captivates Eddie's attention almost wholly, his eyes going dark and large.)
...You weren't? Why not? (He has a million questions at the tip of his tongue but that's the only one that comes out and it felt so small compared to everything else.)
