Jaime's cell phone is more or less plugged riiiight into his brain, so he tends to pick up like 99% of the time! If not, however...

"Hey, Jaime here! Leave a message, and I'll get back to you ASAP."

[WAIT A SECOND, IT WAS FOR SHINJI?]

So?? How did it go????

[amadaman]

it went fine

[NO HE DOESN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT]

[amadaman]

i had koro give it to him

[khajidont]

Come on you don't get to text me all that and just tell me that it went fine.

You had to have been talking to him after that for you to be gone for so long right?

[amadaman]

we talked yeah

mostly normal stuff. weve been talking about normal stuff lately

[okay. okay. breathe, Amada, you can breathe.]

There weren't tears or anything if that's what you imagined

[khajidont]

I promise I wasn't thinking about tears. I think that you making him cookies would make him really happy though. Or bought cookies? I figured since you said designs you made them but I could be wrong

Either way was a really nice thing for you to do for him. I'm really glad you did it

[amadaman]

I made them. And cake. I asked a few friends to help me because I didn't know how

It's not his job to reach out to me anymore you know? It's mine. Forgiving isn't the right word for it and that's not my right anymore but he reached out to me before and now it's my turn

[even if that was a weird honesty prompted by some weird attack, it was still Shinjiro's words]

I want to be his friend. He said we can try. This was something normal, we didn't get to have a lot of normal between us.

[By now he's left De Chima 1 and is probably sitting at some park dying of embarrassment]

[khajidont]

And you guys have been doing really really well. You got along great on the trip and that was a whole week of being stuck with each other

[He's watching, Ken.]

It's not just up to you though. Friendship is always gonna be a two way street but between the two of you I think you've been managing it okay. You've been trying really hard haven't you?

[amadaman]

[That sobers Ken up from the embarrassment he was riling himself up with and stops him from too seriously contemplating the hole he was planning to dig. There's another pause before he answers.]

It's the last of the many chances I've already been given and wasted. I'm not going to mess this up again.

[khajidont]

And you haven't been. I'm really proud of how far you've come.

You should be too

[amadaman]

I'm really glad I was able to give it to him

[khajidont]

Me too. Did he give you anything for your birthday?

[amadaman]

A selfie stick.

[khajidont]

What's a selfie stick

[amadaman]

A stick you put your smartphone on so you can use it to take selfies. I's like an arm extension.

[khajidont]

[...Shinji that is the weirdest present to get for a twelve year old.]

Have you actually used it yet?

[amadaman]

As much as I appreciated his intentions... no, not really. He kind of just left it at the party without me even noticing so I couldn't even tell what it was at first.

[khajidont]

Of course he did.

I think you might have won this battle of the birthday presents. He's gonna have to step it up

[amadaman]

Sanada-san's is apparently next month so he can make it up with that.

[khajidont]

Wait really? Do you know what day it is? We should do something for him

[Akihiko mentioned that he felt a little left out on the trip... Jaime still feels guilty about that.]

[amadaman]

September 22nd. I don't know what we could really do but there's got to be something

[khajidont]

It's got to be something that we know he actually likes. So it's gotta be something where he can run around

[amadaman]

You make him sound like a dog, Jaime-san.

Even back in our world he was all about training and fighting and getting stronger.

[khajidont]

[He is kind of like a dog...]

I didn't mean it like that! But whenever we have to sit for a long time he always complains and he always wants to run everywhere. No point in throwing something for him where he's forced to do something he hates right? I'm not suggesting we like take him to a park
