[ He's smart, of course, but this is not something he's good at. He doesn't have answers for something like this. Probably because he's had those feelings. He gets it - more than he'll admit here and now.
He remembers what it was like to have everything stripped from him - his life, his dream, his education. Love can sure as hell bring someone back from the deepest darkest pits, and Jayce loved the people in his life as if it were breathing. It was easy for him to love, and equally easy for the love to hurt him. ]
I don't even know if this is good advice. [ He's honest enough to admit. ] But I'm certain you don't have to decide today, tomorrow, or even this month. You can take your time to figure it out.
[ Time to figure out what keeps him here. ]
no subject
[He'd shaken it a little when he was last here, but now... he's not sure if it'll be easier or harder to shake.]
[But at least Jayce isn't lying to him, not trying to keep him happy with advice that means nothing. That's something. That has to be worth something.]
<I... sorry. I just... I just don't know what to do. I'm so restless but everything reminds me of her.>
no subject
[ He sees no sense in lying about it to him. There's some things people simply don't ever shed. He doesn't know if Tobias will or not. Maybe in time He's not been able to shed what he went through at home. It's always challenging to deal with complex challenges - especially like war. ]
What did you do on your own to keep busy before? Was there a task you had that you always did? Like - I used to work at the forge on my own.
no subject
[He tries to keep his tone light for that last bit, but there's still a lot of bitterness in his tone.]
<I used to go to school, but they don't let birds sit in on classes either.>
no subject
Well, I imagine a bird can be pretty distracting in a classroom. Or library.
[ If nothing else, he can play along with that, at least. ]
You prefer to remain as a hawk, I assume?
[ It sounds genuine coming from Jayce. He's seen another form when all of those things were attacking. The quadruped creature that wasn't quite a horse, but still was similar. ]
no subject
[He's a predator now, whether he likes it or not. He can't deny that fact.]
no subject
[ As much as he can. ]
Then you should be a hawk for as long as you need.
[ He sighs. ]
I hope, in time, you'll feel a little better. Bit by bit. It's not as though you've had much time to process anything, right?
no subject
[He'd been without her here, but it's... it was different knowing she was waiting for him at home. Now that she's gone...]
<Sorry for uh... barging in on you.>
no subject
[ He glances around the room. ]
It's alright. My partner's not home right now. And he wouldn't be bothered anyway.
[ He thinks, at least. ]
no subject
[And Jayce has been good to him, so he thought maybe it... would work.]
no subject
[ And he means pretty much anytime he wants. ]
It's safe here.
no subject
[He just... needs to rest. Maybe it'll be a dream... a terrible dream.]
no subject
[ He knows what it means to be grieving someone you care about. His grief got swept away when he got here, but it's still there because it still happens. ]
