[Oh. Look Jack's old, not stupid, so he considers that for a moment and considers the things he's seen since Taka came into his care. And also taking into account what Senri's like.]
... hm. He likes Beauty, who I'm pretty sure likes him back, and they're going on a date tomorrow. I think they decided to do it beforehand...
[ basically taka is like 80% sure he's going to get dumped before he and senri even go on an actual date and he is trying to prepare himself for that ]
[Well that's not good, and Jack's face expresses as much as he mulls over that.]
Beauty's a really confused kid but I don't think he's that naive. If he knows about it, he's not gonna get in the way. [Jack has Thoughts about Beauty but that's neither here nor there.] Did…Senri say he likes you back though?
[He's not great at navigating stuff like this and it shows, but he'll at least try because Taka deserves to be happy.]
[ merriment calling people a kid now that taka can actually see his face is pretty funny
but also taka is very bad at navigating stuff like this too, considering the only reason he even confessed was because he got too jealous over the beauty+sasuke combo and senri accidentally annoyed him into it. so. ]
Yeah... but this kind of stuff isn't what I'm good at.
But you're sticking with him anyway. [You crazy, crazy kids...]
...it'll work out. All of that. Don't worry about the complications. You're the one he keeps clinging to the most. [Teasing, but also. Jack has a tendency to check on what Taka's doing and has seen Senri way too often thanks.]
You have time. [The snow crystals blow off of Jack's hand and create...a little rabbit that circles Taka's head.] You'll get to go home together...and you can remember all of this if you want. Make it easier.
[There's a soft laugh and Jack holds up a hand to start counting on his fingers.] North, Tooth, Bunny, Sandy...the Guardians of Childhood. The Man in the Moon chose me to be a Guardian, but I don't know if I was ready yet. Those guys have been at it for a long time, but they were pretty out of touch with kids. We...were starting to work together. Maybe I could have actually been a part of them, but instead I'm here.
[And maybe it's an explanation of why Jack is trying to protect kids, and his attachment to the younger participants of this game.]
You think that's a lot? You should see how tall the Easter Bunny actually is. [A hand comes up over his own head to gesture he means really tall.]

Don't clam up on me now, kid. [But it's still light enough that he can just ignore Jack, too.]

You also said you weren't good at talking to people or trusting them or something to that effect. You still managed to do it, didn't you?

I ran away from him and he chased me around the carnival until he knocked me to the ground...
no subject
That. That's one way to do it.

... it kind of sucks that all of that happened to you, with the warren and all of that, but I'm also kind of glad you got to be my god.
no subject
...me too. I'm gonna do what I can to make sure you get out of this okay. So...don't go backwards on me, alright? And I'll try to do the same.

So what now? Thinking about heading back out there? [A nod to the west wing.]
