[ he could be wrong; he's handling tim like he's handling his sister's children, which is that he's oddly careful so that their small and fragile limbs don't snap off in his grip. tim isn't a small child of four, but he's also currently injured. he's not in pain now; his blood is up enough that it shields his mind from it.
