Filtered away from Jean

I told Jean.

He freaked out and went out for 'air' which probably means he'll be blackening his lungs with nicotine right about now.

Wonderful.

Oh baby... I'm so sorry. I'm sure he'll come around. If you'd rather have some space away from each other for tonight, you're more than welcome to come here, Emilio.

[unturning_world]

I don't know. I'm not sure which would be better...what do you think?

[seminalsemiotic]

Knowing Jean, it'll probably take him a little while to sort through this. I doubt it's something he's ever contemplated before. It just wouldn't occur to him. Still, it might be helpful for him to have you around. That way, he can see you're still just the same Emilio you always were. And if he needs to talk and ask questions, you'll be right there. Otherwise, who knows what sort of conclusions he might come to. Jean's mind doesn't exactly work like other people's.

[unturning_world]

That's...a good way to put it. And a good point. I'll stay here.

What if he doesn't come around?

Jean freaked out? Ugh, that sucks. How bad was it before he went to smoke?

[unturning_world]

Well...I told him over the internet, so it was kind of not so bad, considering.

I was afraid he'd pound me to make me 'not a pansy'.

[eligible_boy]

Dude... I don't think Jean would ever pound you. He only hit me once even when I nearly took his balls off! But I understand why you were worried. It can't be easy. But Renee, Kait and I will be here to help. We'll make sure things stay not so bad, and get better.

[unturning_world]

Well I didn't mean I thought he'd do it in a mean-spirited way. Just to toughen me up. He said I wasn't interested in women because I didn't try hard enough.

Thank you, Pierre.

Oh, Emilio, I'm sorry. Let us know if you need anything, yeah?

[unturning_world]

Thank you, Deirdre.
