[ he's so glad and relieved to hear from jake, but of course he can't just let that show. ]
Ok you've given me a few things to unpack here. 1. I can't believe you just called me sir prince. [ like wtf, bro?? is this going to be a Thing? ] 2. You just messaged me so you could make that awful pun, didn't you. 3. Good to hear from you, man.
Oh ho youve got things to unpack? Well i checkmate your unpacking with some unpacking of my own. Hows about that buddy?
1. It only makes entire sense that i called you that. By george youre a prince for one thing and sir is just polite! It feels foreign talking to you again. Um. I guess on a side note im not insinuating anything weird by calling you prince its just part of who you are so thats your own damn fault!
2. Not *entirely* but partially so! Come on and admit it. It was clever.
3. You too. A part of me was wondering if you had flitted off to rescue some people who might have fallen ill with some other weird monster sickness as you do without batting a lash.
Well then, I guess we'll just keep doing this then. And by 'this' I mean continue talking in points denoted by numbers.
1. It's just my dumb title that I didn't get to choose, it's not like I'm an actual prince. And come on bro, you've known me for years and that hasn't changed. Or should I start calling you Mr. Page now? 2. It really wasn't. But nice try. 3. You make it sound like I'm some kind of hero always out and about to rescue people. Which I'm not. I've just been here chilling with the C-Man and Squarewave.
1. Please refrain from calling me a page its very unlike you to speak that way. Though idk calling folks by their title seems a bit more like me? I can get away with it it just doesnt jive well with your aloof personality if you dont mind me saying.
2. Admit it you at least found it a smidgen amusing even if you didnt crack a grin.
3. Well sure. Saving people is your expertise. Thats what youve been doing all along here AND back home i might add.
1. Yeah, you're right. I wouldn't do it because it's a dumb thing to do. 2. If by amusing you mean exasperating and by a cracking a grin you mean rolling my eyes, then yes. Hilarious. 3. It's really not. And I did jack shit in our session, the real MVP is Roxy.
[ ... fair enough, but wow. thanks for the vote of confidence, bro. ]
I miss them too. I'm sure Rox is fine exacting the sweet revenge on the Batterwitch we always dreamed about. And I think I caught a glimpse of Jane before I got here.
Wowzers you saw jane before arriving here? Did she appear to be in good health? Did she look good? [ Jake's exact canon point is when he was fighting the Felt on his own; before Karkat and Jane even showed up to help. ]
[ he's still not entirely sure of what he saw because it really was just a split-second after regaining consciousness. it could have been wishful thinking.
but if he focuses on the memory he thinks he can remember details. ]
Yeah. Like I said it was only a quick glimpse, but she looked good. She was smiling.
[ ... you know, this would be the perfect opportunity to go "well, actually" and finally fess up.
but ahaha..ha.. yeah, never gonna happen. why do that when you can ignore it and pretend everything is fine?? ]
I'm sure everything will be fine back home. But it would be nice to see the girls again. I'm sure Roxy would dig it here. Jane, too. Or at least I think she could take charge better in this place and really shine. Be the leader she was meant to be.
