Oh believe me, I'm taking that and then some. Dude- [Hits Jaime's shoulder lightly, as if to make up for all the crying and clinging. See he's fine, they're both fine, they're stoic and manly and fine.] Tadashi brought me donuts and it took me like an hour to finish them. There were only twelve.
Poor Tadashi. He comes back and I fall apart on him, and you come back, and it's your turn. We should buy him something nice.
[ He's using humour to mask the fact that he still kind of wants to cry about this whole thing, whether it's relief or shock or happiness or fear of what's to come, of the very real possibility that he'll get Wally back for a month, maybe two, and he'll be gone again, but -- listen, sometimes that's just the way it is. ]
That's a pretty dire ratio of donut-to-minute. Did you wanna -- I dunno, catch up? [ What's the protocol for something like this? He's changed, and so has Wally. It's weird. Everything about this is weird. ] Khaji's excited to see you too, by the way. He'll probably say hi himself later. He's just pouting 'cause he doesn't understand boundaries.
[ He wanted to check immediately - when Wally was probably, oh, sobbing on Tadashi's unreasonably beefy shoulder, on account of the fact that there's no nerd here that isn't also, like, weirdly ripped. ]
He needs a bouquet made out of strawberries. Or a Ferrari. [Hell yeah, humor to cover up the fact that they're both mess up now in completely new ways that will require yet more getting used to! So...so cool]
Y'know...how about instead of talking about ourselves we just...hang? You still got Mario Kart?
[ ...would Tadashi want a Ferrari? Should he get him a Ferrari? Maybe he should get him a Ferrari. He offers Wally a small smile, and if it's a little watery (okay, it's definitely a little watery, but he's valiantly pretending like he's just got really bad allergies) and says, ] I still got the whole set-up at home. Or I could bring it here. It's not like it'd take long.
Uh, [Glances at the door over his shoulder for a second.] ...let's go to your place. I just- I need to...not stay in one spot for a while. [Claps a hand to Jaime's back (shoulderblades, Khaji Da) to turn him and usher him toward the stairs.] ...you can cry, y'know. I hear it's bad for you if you hold it in. Stops up the ducts.
[ Jaime spares a glance upstairs - is that where Tadashi is having a good cry too? he makes a mental note to check in on the guy later, though unbeknownst to him, Ruka will be doing that for him too - then back at Wally with a crooked smile. ]
Yeah. Change of scenery. I got you.
[ And he's just going to not address the crying. ]
I'm at a different house, same neighbourhood. I flew here, though.
[ Which means that either Wally's gonna zip over there on his own, or... well, it's not as though Jaime doesn't princess carry all his best friends around as it is. ]
[ Oh, no. That doesn't bode well. That doesn't bode well at all. In fact, it bodes something that they should really, really talk about, but this is Wally's first day here, and he's already had it out - probably - with Tadashi.
Hi, nice to see you again! By the way, did you die?
Not a good idea.
Jaime suits back again, the carapace crawling out from underneath his skin, unfurling along the back of his neck until his hair sticks up at odd angles before it encompasses him and he holds out his arms. ]
All right. In that case, hop on up, buttercup.
[ Pity.
He was planning on having a good cry on the fly over. Foiled again. ]
