"Oh." It was all he could manage, equally as flat as the words his father had spoken. Jasper could find little more to say than that, knowing that his father wasn't the type for "I'm sorry you lost him."s or any other sort of comfort, not that he was good at any of that anyways. It did make him wonder though, if only for a brief moment, if that was the reason that he felt like his father was so far away from him. If he did really die a very long time ago, did that mean he hadn't really ever had one? "I'm glad you're still here." Feeble attempts at expressing just how glad he was to have his father around, even if it was awkward for him to say it. "Have you been okay?" A quick change of subject, something less awkward than before, he hoped. |
