[He goes for deadpan humor at first, because of course he does.] You're still free to keep sending money. [But, right, butterflies? So many of them, and he's just sitting in the center of his newly constructed tent now, and he rubs his face, because this feels, like, super real in the dark.] It is really insanely difficult to be unaffected by you, in case you were wondering. [Beat, and he's over there thinking, right? Trying to figure out what to say next. Wit? Wit is easiest, and the fallback, but...] I want to see you. [Which, you know, is simple, not specific or anything, but it's true, right? He feels it, and he doesn't usually just say or ask, not without some pretense to hide behind. This once, he doesn't add the pretense. But, Jamie:] I can tell him I'm seeing someone. I just didn't particularly want to give him anything meaningful deep, and that'll lead to more questions.
