“Yeah… well, that’s not what everyone’s been saying— you know?”

He’s quiet after that, shaking his head with a small sigh passing his lips; what else is there to say?

“I don’t know… what now?” His face contorted in a bit of confusion that drifted into an almost sad look, he had really liked Hope… but if even Jones was talking about this he wasn’t so sure what to think.

Honestly, he wasn’t entirely sure what to say but he pulled in a small breath and offered what little of a smile he could. “Alright, if you say you haven’t been then I believe you…”

He’s tired… about to crash on a couch

“Hm… it kinda sounds like you actually are a puppet but maybe not to the magic, maybe for your own ego—” His face scrunches up at this, brows knitting together in an almost pity.

(Combining this with 37. from the post.) A small smile forms over his lips as he slowly sits down beside her, his hand moving to show a small gift box. “This is for you… for your birthday.” He whispers, “Sorry I’ve been so busy lately…”

“You don’t need to thank me… not for anything.” He offered a lighter smile, something more relaxed while he watched her open the necklace he’d gotten her. The pendant mimicked his own but had a center filled with a blue sapphire, something he assumed she would enjoy.
