Is Jason still hurt over it? Have they even discussed it?

[ Shrugs ]

He won't discuss it anymore. He'd be angry that I'm even talking about it now.

Well, you care about him, it is natural you would be upset on his behalf if he refuses to be.

Mm. Perhaps he'll understand why I am in time.

Do you think he does not now?

I think he understands the exact terms of my disagreement, but he can't...relate to them, because my stance is that he should value himself more than he does.

Ah. so he is that sort?

My... sympathies.

I appreciate it.

[ A pause, eyeing him curiously ]

... You aren't going to try talking to him about it, are you?

Which "him"?

Jason, obviously.

[ As far as he's concerned anyway ]

Well, Jason and I have only spoken once, all business. I doubt he would welcome my... Prying.

He absolutely wouldn't. Thank you for understanding.

Of course. If you should ever need to vent do feel free. I can keep my discretion from time to time. And I know what it is like to have a loved one have no concept of taking care of themself.

I suppose many people do. Is your family member someone here?

No. Regrettably he is not at the moment.

It's luckier for him if he isn't. No one should be forcibly subjected to this place.

...That said, I do understand missing him. Jason and I have a lot of family at home as well.

Ah--well. If he is not here he is nowhere. He is quite dead now.

But I do understand, missing your family is only natural.

Ah—I am sorry. I didn't realize that was the situation.

Ah, do not make such a face.

[He'll ruffle Talon's hair if he may.]

If I see him again it will be a joy, if not, than I have made my peace. I merely wished to sympathize with what it is to watch one you love love themselves less.

[ He'll allow it, if only because of the awkward atmosphere now ]

Still... Perhaps he'll arrive one day. Or you'll gain a wish for him.

You are a kind young man. Yes, perhaps I will see him again. In the meantime we must all focus on the living. Your brother sounds like a handful for you, and I hope that at least he is not self-destructive, even if he neglects himself?

[ The long beat of hesitation probably answers the question before Talon does ]

I think he tries not to be.

[It sure does!]

Ah. You must deal with a lot.

We both do.

Let me guess. He is much better at caring about you than himself?
