Who: Jack & Evie & Nick
What: Hollis family reunion
Where: Bellum Letale and mental hospital
When: After he writes to Evie and the building
Warnings: Surly, resentful teenagers.

When it became clear there would be no way for him to get into 1202 to wait for Evie, he went back to his apartment to unpack some of his clothes. It didn't take him long: he had only packed a week's worth of clothes, wanting an excuse to have to leave. Despite his feigned enthusiasm for the coming family reunion, Jack was petrified at seeing his siblings again. Evie's angry emails only confirmed his fear.

Once finished with the luggage, he paced his apartment for an hour before trotting back down the stairs to the twelfth floor. It was pathetic, but he couldn't think of anything else to do: he slouched against the wall and waited.

"Thank you," Jack growled, nearly sulky, and he rolled his eyes again. It was depressing how easily Evie could push all his buttons again, reducing him to a child with two syllables. He rubbed his face once more and gave Nick a shy smile.

"We'll take it easy, you know. Nothing stressful." Other than the funeral, of course, but he left that unsaid. "You, uh...want anything in particular at home? Food, or...books or...shit like that?" He remembered himself at 20 but even without knowing Nicky well, he could imagine that his younger brother was different. Porn and video games might not be his thing.

	Nick wasn't one to ask for hand outs, even if he didn't have much of anything to his name. He hesitated for a moment, dropping his head like he was really pondering what to ask Jack for. Finally he just told him, "Paper and watercolors. I'm fine if I just get that." (Reply to this) (Parent)
