xvii: jack of hearts

an update.
 
giles and i have joined henry and eric on their travels. there's no specific destination in mind, just anywhere safe from the lonely hunters and their servants. we won't have a lot, but giles is prepared for anything, henry is a quick thinker, eric is a good fighter, and i'm... here too.

okay, that's a little unfair to myself. i'm... scrappy. and when i'm with giles, i can do anything.

it feels so natural. i'll tell a joke, and giles will just roll his eyes and remind me of how often i told that same joke back in high school, but there'll be a smile on his face that tells me he knows i said it because it reminds me of when we were younger.

it feels so right. and i haven't seen jack in such a long time.

i don't know if this will last forever. i mean, nothing does. but there's no point in looking forward to its end. it's what i have for now, and for now, everything seems to finally make sense.

yours truly,
