Jayce wouldn't have said anything if Blue had chosen to eat the mooncake by dunking it in coffee first or something. Blue's food, Blue's right to eat it in whatever ways he saw fit. But the mention of Yak got him curious.
Oh, we've talked and met a couple of times in the past. Are you and Yzak good friends?
[warmly, fondly:] And more. He is my most beloved partner; were he not here, I would be terribly adrift. It's very good fortune that he and I were drawn here together, after all we had been through.
It's strange, isn't it? But I think this time around...it's because our lives are bound together. The first encounter may have been much more coincidental.
[pleased:] I would like to think that. But...even if there is no true narrator to these stories, it doesn't change that we are here as we are now. That's enough for me.
[ Boy was that unpleasant. Top ten not recommended experiences. ]
I will, thank you, Blue. So far we hadn't had a lot of trouble, but we brought some problems here from our own world. We're working on smoothing them out.
[ To say that guilt is eating up Jayce would be an understatement, but he is handling it the best he can. ]
[amused:] That is normal. You'll find that unless he goes out of his way to avoid you, he can take a liking to you. And the opportunity to use that magic of his...he wouldn't miss it.
What, really? I saw him as a cat trying to chase after a bird and he was very cute, so I thought he was annoyed at me for accidentally interrupting his training. But he's very interesting to talk to.
[ His hackles were up, literal and metaphorically speaking. ]
Thanks for letting me know Blue. Perhaps that way we can reach common ground. I think there are enough cakes that you both can enjoy them if you want to share, but I could always get Yzak some as well.

I'm glad that you and Yzak got reunited as well.
[ He's totally misunderstanding your concept of 'partner', sorry Blue. ]
no subject
[but that comes with the double edge of threat: the risk that one may watch that bond fray, suffer, unravel...]
no subject
[ Jayce had already fucked up that bond in the past, he is trying his best to amend things. ]
Are you a coordinator like Yzak, then? [ Jayce here is assuming that
all the pretty white haired boysthey are from the same world. ]no subject

This happened to you both, twice?

Good point. Sometimes, all that matters is living in the moment. more so if it's a good one.

Are they...problems that I or others here can help you with?
no subject
[ They need to rebuild their trust, and the like. ]
Unless...I don't suppose you have healing powers of any sort?

I'm not sure if he likes me very much, though. He is very...enthusiastic when he speaks.
[ And by 'enthusiastic' Jayce means prone to yelling, but it amuses him. ]

I'll ask him about magic then.
no subject
Yes. I think you'll find him more amenable with that topic.
