Jason, if he has not been paying attention to the network recently, might be surprised to see that his eyes have changed color, from a warm browm to bicolored orange and green.

Jason glances down, and pushes up the sleeve of his shirt, looking at the scars over his wrist, and over the half healing scab on top of it.

[He's silent for a long, long time before just sighing.]
