[ And then because he kind of knows how intimidating Jessie can be at first: ] He's a great guy. You just got to roll with the punches where it concerns his humor.
S'not his sense of humor, big brother... S'just... He's kind of...
[ How do explain the fact that he's only idolized Jessie since he was a kid, and that if it weren't for the guy, so many of the things he liked to do wouldn't be there anymore. ]
[ He stares at you for a good, long minute as he tries to absorb thre aftermath of that. Nope, he has never heward you speak so ridiculously fast. ]
Yo, man. All I got was 'idol' and 'games', so I'm surprised that I kind of got what you meant. [ Bro, you are such a nerd, it's so cute -- yes, he is ruffling your hair again. ] Don't get too starstruck though.
[ He says that gently, because sure everyone trips up, but you've come a long, long way since March and he can only see you going places from hereon out. ]
Oh... Yanno... Just... I dunno. It's kinda hard to process the idea of having Jessiah Vice, Paolo Inojosa, and Alistair Mordechai calling you their student.
[ You can still see the ghost of South Korea looming over his head, then. He messed up really bad that time and he really can't bear the idea that he might eff up again... Especially now that the stakes are higher. ]
[ You just came back from the dead, you've got a lot of things to learn where being a Card is concerned. And then there's making headway with Brotherhood, your license with Netsach and then the initiation for Zangyaku. ]
I don't think you will. [ You've got a pretty good learning curve, bro. He's pretty sure you'll be able to sort things out in a way that works best for you. ] Think it over.
Give yourself time to adjust first. Doing all the things isn't easy.
Yeah, I'd like to -- [ Yawns ] think that it is...
[ That's probably the last thing that he remembers doing, because the next thing that happens is him toeing off his boots and curling up in a ball, head burrowing into your side. ]

You'll probably never hear the end of it.
[ Is he teasing?
Maybe -- or not. ]

[ The resounding noise of Kaz's inferiority complex is pretty loud, Josh. ]

( He gets it. South Korea was pretty life-changing. )
That's Josh giving your shoulder a squeeze now. ]
Then take the time to process it, [ he's telling you that gently and encouragingly. ] And then work hard and do the best to your abilities.
You're a good kid, Kaz. And it's been a while since April.
no subject
So um... School. How do?
no subject
What do you mean "how do"?
[ Yeah, your big brother is grinning, kiddo. ]
no subject
[ You know Kaz, though. The kid's got his free time budgeting down pat, same with his research and training schedules. ]

"Be a workaholic." [ He's teasing -- maybe. ] I'm -- I'm joking.
I guess... I just want it enough. Never... really got to finish college because, well. You know.
[ He kind of died? ]
no subject
[ He kind of just came back from the dead, why do you think he be asking, Josh? ]
Still... Now that I actually have the time for this sort of thing, why not, maybe?
no subject
Well, [ he's shifting a little in his seat. ] Usually you need to figure out what kind of course you want to push through with.
[ Have a brow lifted your way. ]
And then... you make time.
no subject
[ He scratches his head and leans back. Sure, he could figure this whole thing out easy, maybe. ]
no subject
There's no rush, you know.

[ He smiles and snuggles into your side. He's still a little tired. ]

He'll make room for you then, and shift his torso so that you won't have to wake up with a crick in your neck. ]
