Kevin
Backdated to yesterday night.

Jono: It had been a long time in coming, but Jono was finally getting to show off Priscilla to Kevin. He'd been peripherally aware of things going on between Kevin and Josh, and part of why Julian was so bloody moody was them too, though Jono could only sense that they were somehow connected but not why. It made him all the more skittish around his roommate. But tonight was all about Kevin, and Miss Priss.

Before going out to meet him, Jono carefully brushed his rabbit, made sure her nails were clipped, and that she had recently gone to the litterbox. Velcroing on her harness, he gave her a pet between her ears and walked her past Julian's side of the room, down the hall to the common area. He brought her up to sniff the sofa cushions and bustle about, handing her one of her favorite toys, a ball made of metal wire filled with hay. She sniffed and nosed the ball about, picking out hay strands and chewing them busily. When Jono heard footsteps and felt the right presence he turned, eyes crinkling in what passed for a smile. *Kevin! Alright!

Kevin: Kevin smiled broadly at Jono's greeting. Things were still weird and he was still nervous as hell about what was going to happen, but the last couple of weeks had actually gone back to something as close to normal as he and Josh had ever experienced. Enough that he was making some effort to reconnect with the few other friends he'd made since transferring, and Jono was close to the top of that list. He felt bad about how little mind he'd paid to the younger boy for months now. "Hey Jono."

He slowed down a bit, looking cautiously for Jono's bunny and moving to keep Jono mostly between them once he spotted her at the end of her leash. Which was kind of adorable.

"Okay, the leash? Is really freaking cute," he told Jono. Though he was still more than a little nervous of her. He had no idea how hyper she might be or how high bunnies might hop or... anything, really. And he so didn't want to off the kid's pet.

Jono: Jono relaxed a little when Kevin smiled back. It seemed like a real, genuine smile, though Jono could sense some nervousness, which was probably due to Priscilla. But! *I can 'old 'er 'arness close, like.* And he demonstrated by holding the leash where it met the harness, so he had complete control over where she went.

*See? So she en't gonna be jumpin' up in yeh face. But she's a good gel, not too jumpy. Tis early. She won't get worked up till la'er.* Nodding toward the cleaned out sandwich meat container, he added, *Like t' feed 'er some veg?* With the hand not holding onto his buddy, he stroked her head. Priscilla was always for headpetting and squeezed her eyes shut in bliss. Looking back up, he said, worry in his mindvoice, *Yeh been... okay, Kevin? I bin worrit 'bout yeh.*

Kevin stepped back a bit when the bunny started moving. Jono might be confident she was safe near him, but he wasn't. He watched Jono feeding her in fascination, though.

"Nepal's in South Asia, in the Himalayas," he told Jono. "It's probably not something they've had you study since you got here, you'll get to it eventually. And yeah, healing. He went to a leper colony and a few other villages in the area, healed a lot of people." He was definitely proud of that, there was no missing it. Josh was prety damned amazing.

Since Priscilla ate all her veg and was being very good to boot, Jono took from his pocket the thing he suspected she knew was there from the start, a pair of craisins. Instantly the bok choy was forgotten and she was crowding his hand, sniffing eagerly and all but chewing through his fingers to get to her treats. Bunnies had terrible sweet-tooths and Miss Priss was no exception. He fed her one, her little behind trembling with excitement, and then gave her the other one lest she get overexcited.

*I'm gonna let 'er go on th' sofa then. She'll stay on top,* he warned. Indeed when the leash was let go (though Jono held the end), Priscilla commenced sniffing the entire couch top, nosing under the cushions and standing up on her hind legs to see what was above.

*No. We're on American hist'ry rioght now. World War One. Kind interestin' t' see it from your point.* Jono was impressed. *Leper colonies? They're still 'round? Wow.*

He looked down at his bunny, who was feeling a little full. She flopped down near Kevin and accepted more petting from Jono. *Makes me feel... like I ought t' be doin' more, it does,* he said slowly. *'N complainin' less.*

Kevin watched intently as Jono let his bunny go, not quite relaxing until she laid down...though he was a little nervous that she'd flopped quite so close to him.

"I think it's one of the only ones left. Or was," he amended, grinning. "Seeing as there aren't any lepers left to need it anymore. And really, just...don't worry about it. Most people can't do anything like what Josh does, and he never seems to feel like he's doing enough. The rest of us would have to just...curl up and go catatonic from inadequacy issues if we worried about how we compare, yeah?"

Jono sat down beside Priscilla and took a firm hold on her leash while petting her. Petting her soothed him, all the doubts and small miseries inside that sometimes bubbled over.

He shook his head. *Tha's roight amazin'.* He chuckled a little. *Guess spendin' time comparin's a waste. Still...*

Looking up at Kevin, he didn't want to bring the other kid down, but he felt like he had to say it or burst. *Me, I'm a little... 'omesick. Or... a lot. Just lately. Don't tell no one, yeah?*

Digging in the plastic box, he brought out some romaine for his bunny to nibble while she relaxed. Nothing loathe, Priscilla's little teeth started crunching. *'Ow's classes? I can't tell 'f I'm doing alroight or not. Alroight enough. Never 'ad a future t' look forward to. It's... it's so weird. 'N now I en't prepared a t'oll 'n it's... hard.*

Feeling like he was being too much of a downer, he tried to smile and looked up at Kevin. *Bu' I'm ge'in' lots o' time on a guitar! Couldn't play bu' once ev'ry few days a' 'ome. Someday I'll buy one. I know that. You play anythin'?*
