Comments

[overstrain]

[ "Yes, he's very old now."

As if that's the only remarkable thing Jace has to say about Terry.

"Though I'm sure you can get the full story from him eventually... whenever you find him. He seemed fond of you."

There aren't many boys like Sasuke that has a cat following them like Kurou. ]

[not_that_sasuke]

He talked about me that much...?

[This is surprising to know.]

...It sounds like it'd be painful to talk about, though.

[overstrain]

[ "He has been working on improving himself."

Whether those efforts bore fruit, well... Sasuke would have to see it himself. ]

[not_that_sasuke]

[Huh.]

So you think I should ask?

[overstrain]

[ "There's nothing wrong with wanting to get to know your friends better."

Dear child, please be a good influence for this other kid. ]

[not_that_sasuke]

[That's a big ask, Jace. They're both disasters of different flavors.

But still, fair point.]

...I'll try asking him about it, then. [Sometime when he's not a pom and Sasuke isn't quietly dying of sleep deprivation.]

Should I stay with you for a while longer?

[Or is he a toasty snake now.]

[overstrain]

[ "If you don't mind. If you need to be elsewhere, just let me know and I'll move someplace else."

At least he's kinda polite about it. ]

[not_that_sasuke]

No, I can stay a while.

[And he'll go ahead and just hang out with Jace as a human heater until the snake is good and ready to go!]
