Hey, dont worry about cliché's but I get it. I am trying for Arn to not be such one either. As to waking up something I dont want....lol I guess I hope he dont learn the hard way. 

We dont really have to play out the probe at night.  After all, Arn will trial and error some things.  He really want to do something to help her.  He might become a bit obsessed over it...
