One.

[at least that much is an easy question. He points to a small scar at his shoulder]

This one is from a friend who thought it was a great idea to use an arrow to stop me from falling off a building. The rest I have no clue— but I can guess.

[a pause as he considers. Should he just tell him? He told Glacies. He’s still not sure what he wants as far as this looming piece of background information.]

I know I was killed once, by one of my family’s enemies.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Oh good, they're just nightmares of being killed.

Griffin's immediate reaction is to bristle, muttering,] What the fuck's wrong with your family...

[First the thing with Talon, now their 'enemies'? Is this the mafia?? Why didn't they protect Jay??? That's what family is supposed to do.

Yet another reason why he's so adverse to the idea of family. And dying. It all tracks. Still, Griffin couldn't help but feel a simmering, defensive anger on Jay's behalf. Huff.]

Your friend sounds like a genius. And...

I'm sorry your family keeps failing you.

[mind_blown]

I don't even know the details of how I died. There's a chance they didn't let me down.

[he has this half smirk as he says it, and then he stands up, grabbing his shirt and his jacket as he goes.]

And Roy is a genius. But he's also extremely stupid.

[that's his best friend, and unlike talking about his family? talking about Roy gets some pretty open fondness from him, even though he only has one memory.

even though he's not there.]

[gigadevilbreaker]

[...Seeing Jay show fondness for someone in his world was actually reassuring - like, at least he had someone? Not everyone was completely shitty and awful. So Griffin relaxes a touch.]

Sounds like an interestin' guy.

You're not gonna stay?

[mind_blown]

Nah. I spent all day here-- someone will probably wonder if I'm dead.

And I've got excess energy to burn off.

[gigadevilbreaker]

Right, makes sense.

[Griffin's gonna collect the dirty plates to put them in the sink on the way, since-- he probably should see Jay out.]

Well... g'night then?

[mind_blown]

[honestly, he's gonna consider for a moment.

a long moment.

before approaching, and planting a kiss on his forehead.]

Night.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[What was Jay standing there for? He's leaving, right?--




oh



Griffin turns pink, speechless for a moment. Blinks. Confused? But also, this has to be sentimental, right?? Was he crazy? Was he supposed to acknowledge it? Is this what Jay wants???

Either way, he can't suppress the small, flutter of a smile that makes it onto his face, shy but pure.]

S-see you later...

[mind_blown]

[he reads his reaction for the moment, and then-- he'll see him out to the balcony.]

Later.

[and he's gone!]
