What are you afraid of, Ian? Can you help me overcome my own fears?

Ian:
Oh.. Jeez. -Rubs the back of his neck- Okay, so... I lied about the cat thing, I actually really like cats, I just... I guess maybe that's a typically 'girly' thing to do, so I didn't want to admit it, but... if I'm being on the level, I am sort of... aloof. I guess. Or at least I pretend to be. -Sigh- Really, I'm more of a scaredy-cat. -Glances over at Charles- I could try lying to you about that, but then I'd get kicked off the show, and lose respect, and that's not something I want to happen, so here's the truth. I'm afraid of practically everything. I've got a lot of style, and a lot of suave business-sense, but... I get scared. A lot. Of the dark. Of being alone. Of being with someone. Of having kids... Of NOT having kids. It's... complicated. Also typical stuff like... rats, and heights. But as to your fears... I guess maybe I could try? If we hit it off, maybe we could try and tackle those together. Otherwise, we'd both be just... bundles of frayed nerves.
