Preferable

Every time I have John and Lyn standing, the height difference is jarring... it's the same height difference with me and Viviane, but I'm not the one seeing the difference.

I wanted some of the feel from the arc where John met Lyn's dad in the legacy timeline, but I didn't want to go to the extremes-- since John doesn't know Lyn is a werewolf so the tennis ball tossing/etc. wouldn't play. In the end, I just wanted the "we need to talk" to freak John into thinking she wanted to break up... but their communication isn't as bad as it was during the legacy scenario.
