My guess with Ash is that he's going to think about doing it. He might even almost go for it. But right before the finish line, he's going to stop dead and pretend it never happened, because his worry is going to win out.

I hope I'm wrong about that, but... that's my gut instinct.

Haha, I figured as much. He's close with Ash, after all. He has to have some resilience to him.

And I hope that resilience wins out. I think they could make each other happy if Ash let it happen, and I want that for both of them.

[fiddlestick]

It's sad when you describe that way...but I don't think you're wrong. Ash does seem to hold himself back a lot when it comes to connecting with people.

[Sure not everyone can be as sappy as Elliot and Rean, but it really does feel like Ash is scared of genuine connection. ]

I want it for both of them too. They're good kids, even if they're rough around the edges. They deserve to have something in their lives to go right.

I can't blame him. I think I'd probably feel pretty similarly if I were in his shoes.

"I can't let anyone close, what if I hurt them? I can't trust myself, so it's better to just keep people away." That's what I'd be thinking, anyway.

But you're right. They deserve happiness. So... we'll just have to do our best to keep rooting for them from the sidelines, and support them along the way. Right, "Mom?"

[fiddlestick]

I suppose so...it's still sad to think about. It must be so lonely. [...] Hey, if you ever get a dangerous curse, please don't feel like you have to distance from me, okay? We'll figure out something, I promise.

[BUT THAT NICKNAME...]

...That's not going to stick is it?

[motiv8]

Yeah...

Same goes to you, okay? We're both stronger together than we are apart.

[As for the nickname:]

God, no! Haha. But if we're playing surrogate parents, here, you said it yourself: you're definitely the mom friend.

[fiddlestick]

You got that right! We make a great team.

[Oh thank goodness]

Heheh, well okay guilty as charge there. But hey for what it's worth? I think you'd make a wonderful dad.

[motiv8]

[Oh. That sure is a message.

aaaaa]

Really? You mean it?

Man, I am glad this is over text. I shudder to think of the field day the others would have with me if they could see how red I must be right now, haha...

[fiddlestick]

Yes, I mean it! You're a kind and caring guy, but you're not thinned skin either. I see that in the way you handle Ash.

Heheh, yeah, Ash would definitely tease you about that. Jusis might have a chortle.
