“I can only assume yes.” Jack said with a shrug. “I won’t have a knack for technology anymore… I’ll be the quiet artist all over again. The walking mat.” He sighed, and scratched at his neck slightly. “But… that’s the me Katelynn fell in love with. I’m still me, just a lot more confident in myself.”
He chuckled lightly, looking off a bit as another cat came by, keeping his senses alert.
“Well who knows? Maybe when it wears off, after feeling how you can be as a confident man, it’ll have worn off a bit when it wears off?”
He was of course completely serious a he said this, turning his gaze back at the blue man. “Because you don’t have to spend your life like this, especially if you want to keep your little woman safe.”
“I know I have to be stronger for her.” Jack said. “But as my regular self? It’s very small. I been through some rough stuff, as a kid, and the scars left are bad. Not as bad as some, I’m no pity party planner but you know. When you go through things that make you fear people entirely, it’s hard to be brave.”
