You know the drill. I might get back to you. Or not. Depends on how exciting things are.

[A Christmas Gift]

Hunter got hurt, me and Jason took him to a clinic to get looked at. Nico teleported us.

just FYI in case you wonder why we went upstairs and disappeared. and why theres a huge bloodstain in the safehouse.

[ and then, another text a little bit later ]

i think Jason's having a rough time this month. he already seemed kind of down and then this happens and he's gotta care for a couple kids in crisis.

if u need to spend more time with him to cheer him up I'm OK with it. it would suck to make you teleport back and forth.

Re: text

[definecat]

I'll take care of the bloodstain. You take care of your friend.

I'll probably stick around through the new year, just in case. He's just got some personal stuff to deal with. I don't think asking him to talk about it will help. It's more the kind of thing where you just need to not be alone.

Re: text

[codicies]

thanks.

I'm glad he has you, even if it means i have to share my sibling :p

Re: text

[definecat]

If I'm always around, when are you going to learn to take care of yourself?

And you already share me with the internet. At least you know Jason.

[Right after Jason sends this text to Huvrye, Jason sends Sleeper a text from a burner number he would've told Sleeper is for their "book club"]

I might have dinner ready tonight. Are you free? Can pick you up if you need it

Re: [Text]

[definecat]

We dining with anyone I might know? And a ride is always appreciated.

[robintohood]

It has to do with emergency clinic visit I had to do a few weeks ago. Finally tracked down the people who caused it. I'm meeting two of them soon

I'll pick you up as soon as I'm done with them

[Even with a burner, Jason's not comfortable with sharing too much through text, in case the messages get intercepted]

[definecat]

I'll look forward to it. New perspectives are always good for the club.

[robintohood]

Of course. Should we bring your parents too? Or is this enough dinner?

[frenchkissed]

Hey…

I love you, Sleeper. A lot.

Voice

[definecat]

So, what brought this on?

[frenchkissed]

I mean, it is Valentine's Day.

It's as good a day as any to let your child from another dimension know that you love them unconditionally... And that you're so, so sorry about the time you nearly killed them via dog whistle.

[definecat]

Oh, right. Totally slipped my mind.

We should go out tomorrow for all the discounted candy that didn't sell.

Besides, you weren't in your right mind. I suppose I should apologize for threatening to eat choice organs while you watched during that time, too.

[frenchkissed]

Smart. Get as much chocolate as we can get our hands on for a quarter of the price. We're in.

( as if eddie would ever be 'out' when it comes to doing things with sleeper. )

No, you're good on that. I was... being a brat.

I'm glad Dylan didn't get that from me.

[definecat]

Oh, he can definitely be a brat, he's just usually a little more subtle about it.

[frenchkissed]

Must've got that from Annie.

How are we doin' back in your world, me and Annie? Did we find a way to work things out? Put all the pieces back together?

[definecat]

Things...never really worked out. I understand you both tried, but...it was never the right time or place.

[There's no way in any reality they're mentioning she's dead.]

It's not something we ever really talked about.

[frenchkissed]

Yeah?

( it's a good thing they're on audio; sleeper can't see the way eddie crumples little. he'd been hoping his alternate self could have gotten it right, but neither of them seem that fortunate. )

Right. Gotcha. But... Hey, yeah, the day's still young. You could probably go out and do something fun for Valentine's Day still, right?

[Some time after having a long conversation with Mark, Jason sends a text to Sleeper]

Hey, can we talk in-person? When you're free

Text

[definecat]

I can totally squeeze you in between naps. When and where were you thinking?

[robintohood]

Whenever works for you. How about at the safehouse I was using back in December? When you checked on me?

[definecat]

I can be there in...how about twenty? Just have to tell Dylan I'm going to be out.

[robintohood]

That's fine. Take your time

[Twenty minutes later, more or less, Sleeper is letting themself in to the safehouse in a less obtrusive manner than last time. For starters, no puddling is involved, just a cat on a fire escape somehow managing to get in a window.

They don't need much help, but it's a definitely something that requires more dexterity than cat's paws should have.]
