[why does jason keep looking at her. stop it's making her nervous.]
I want you both to rest. [she says, with a sigh.] And I want you to talk to me how you feel about today, but I get the feeling I'm going to get a bill for feelings talk if I ask.
[He seems a bit disgruntled at the sympathy because he's just Like That.] ...It's fine. Don't worry about it. We didn't get someone scapegoated at least. And hopefully it'll get rid of a shadow. [It's about the best he can do.]
[ would he actually admit to being close to anyone who is not in this room. please, jason. the skeptical look cloud gives says that, but he doesn't argue that point. ]
This silver lining sounds more like picking out the best parts of a trash bin. [ what a metaphor. this is something he has said. he leans a little more on jason for strict comfort reasons, obviously. ] You can think shit still sucks even if you weren't close.
[a pause, and then she exhales slowly.] We're working on it.
Do you want to stay here a bit? I don't mind. [she has no cushioning but she can hold a pile of boys if they want to curl up with the stars for a bit.]

cloud lets it go because jason admits that so instead he's busy frowning at him in concern. and then at lup. he doesn't know what to say to that. ]

[so he can be sad or upset. she squeezes his hand.]

[He can fondly tease Cloud and feel better, thank you. Lup’s hand gets a squeeze.]
