Jack had agreed to meet up with his father now things had calmed down enough that he was happy to leave Amy. Yes he knew damn well his girlfriend could handle herself, but it didn’t stop him worrying.

It had taken all he had to wait for his father to actually show up before he grabbed some food. Apparently chaos worked wonders for his appetite.

	"I think so. I know I'm not all that lovable Papa. Growing up on shifting sands screws you up, here in particular. Waking up not knowing who or what life was going to be every day...is going to be, it's a hard way to be a kid, especially with no protection, but she gets it, and loves me anyway," Jack replied.

Ernest was surprised to hear him say he wasn't lovable, and there was probably a slight flicker across his expression, although he held in the need to contradict for the moment. It was more important to listen. There was plenty he failed to understand, especially because his Jack had had a very different life, far away from this place. Sometimes he was guilty of forgetting the differences.

	"She loves you. And you love her, truly. I don't think anyone can hope for more than that," he assured him. "But you know... try not to piss him off," he added. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ernest thought about it for a moment, and then chuckled softly. "Good. Honestly, it's all-" he pointed to his temple, indicting that he was just making up problems where there were none. "If anything, she's probably sick of me following her about like a lost puppy these days." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm sure if she knows why she won't mind," Jack replied. "And if you think it's real, the best thing to go with in this place is not to automatically write it off. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You really think it's possible? To alter the future?" he queried. He'd considered it; maybe she'd come back for a reason, as a warning to him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
