She continued to stay down by Roxy, allowing her to calm her nerves with her hyper action. “Well..his name is Vycter..and it’s funny..he looks like an older version of you.” She snuck a glance over at him a moment before looking away.
“I don’t remember how the subject came up anymore..but I was curious when he said he had come looking for his son and had met you..And I asked if…if that was you and he told me you were and that you knew..”
Now she really did look over at him, hurt in her eyes. “Why didn’t you tell me you had found your biological father?”
Jack paused as he put his spider on a shelf where it would no doubt gather dust for months. He had met Vyctor.. how could he not remember running into the man? He had been vague. Mysterious. Was he his father, really, or just a man who thought he was? It was hard to imagine it… that his biological father had been missing all this time, only to show up now?
He turns around to look at her, still petting Roxy, not looking at him.
“…I just. Didn’t know how to feel a-about it all. I mean I have my father. I l-love him very much and suddenly this… this man I know nothing about shows up and… and claims he’s my father but how do I know he is? H-he can’t even p-prove it with a DNA test since, since they’re expensive and e-even if he’s an alien he can’t test that…”
