[ Jack has mostly been flying under the radar during the past month, keeping to himself. Though he's worked regular shifts at the Fishing Shop and at the Welcome Center, when he wasn't there he was often nowhere at all, away from the city. He doesn't intend to address the recent exodus of people from the city, even though he's taken many of them like punches to the gut. Instead he keeps his tone light, and focuses on something that almost never fails to put some lightness back into him. ]

So fun fact: turns out the kedan have something a lot like "Take Your Kids To Work Day" from back home and there's a group that still need some volunteers. Anyone want to help out some kids and let them shadow you for a day?

I wouldn't say that.

Technically, the last present I gave you was jewelry, wasn't it?

[Which she more than occasionally wore herself. But, you know. It was the thought that counted?]

That's a special case.

But I'll have to make it something memorable, being your sixteenth and all.

[A Special Case for a Special Snowflake Okay, no, that was true. But her point was still valid in her mind.]

I can't wait.

And be sure to say 'hi' to Corele for me, alright? Unless I happen to catch you two during your shift.

I will. I'm sure she'll appreciate that you remembered her.

What can I say?

She left quite the impression on me last time.

Re: [video]

[wintershepherd]

She has that effect.

[backwordscompatible]

I think she got it from you.

[Playful. Though, after a moment to let that sink in, she sat back and moved to stretch.]

Speaking of work, I'm heading out now.

You're welcome to stop by, if you like. Both of you.

[That could be her contribution to the whole thing. Everybody wins.]

The day isn't today, but thanks for he offer. I might drop by anyway.

[The offer wasn't limited to just today, but she figured the message had gotten across well enough.]

Sounds like fun. Just try not to get me in too much trouble with the boss. I do have to get some work done.

Re: [video]

We'll do our best but no promises.

[backwordscompatible]

Guess that's a risk I'll have to take.

Later.

[And with that, she signs off.]
