“I think people are m-more used to blue people now a days…” Jack said with a shrug as he dug out some more chowder and took a slow bite, chewing just as slowly. “There’s certainly more of us running around…”

“All of them from different dimensions but everyone single one of them are so kind as well,” she said, taking another bite with a bit of potato.

“And they know they stumbled here in Metro City too..I used to wonder if you were like them..from another dimension..but I doubt that..because you would have known, right?”

“Maybe?” Jack asked. “I don’t. I don’t know. I mean, we’ve been to where I was raised. We didn’t go t-through a portal or… anything. I don’t..” he look down at his bowl of chowder. “I don’t think I am a Megamind…”

“Um. Yes! I. I am.” he said, awkwardly, since that really did come out of the… well, blue, hadn’t it? He looked down at his hands, blue as every other part of him was, before looking back up at the woman.

“Been b-blue since I was born.”

[Rim circled the slender blue man, taking in what she could of him before outright invading his space and staring up close at his enormous bald cranium.]

“How strange!” [She reached out and brushed her fingers against his scalp, without invitation, uncaring of how treacherously rude she was being.] “Blue since you were born, do you mean created? This is really quite marvelous, I’ve never seen anything quite like it…”

Whoa hello, personal bubble well and truly popped right now. Jack’s face turns purple, tinting all the way to his pointed ears as this time he does take an anxious step back, face set in a worried look, especially after she so rudely touched his head like that.

“C-created? No! No, I. I was born. I, I had a mother and father j… just like everyone else, at least everyone else born normally…” he knew of clones, and robots, so… “T-there’s a few of us, going around actually … y-you must be new in town if you’ve n-never seen one of us before…"

“Sounds good.” Jack smiled slightly, and thankfully it isn’t too long until the two are sitting on a bench on the pier. Roxy and Stella are tied up to the bench besides them. Jack holds the chowder bowl in his lap, using a plastic spoon, eating slowly a he watches the ocean.

Katelynn digs into hers, loving the flavor and dipping some bread in it. “I wonder sometimes..I mean..you keep telling me about the prejudices against Mr. Megamind and such..yet I didn’t really feel it today, you know? I still felt like myself.”

She looked up over at him, looking at the curls of his hair and wondering how he felt with hair for once. Surely it must be a new experience for him. “Is that weird..?”

“I think people are m-more used to blue people now a days…” Jack said with a shrug as he dug out some more chowder and took a slow bite, chewing just as slowly. “There’s certainly more of us running around…”

Jack does his best to not step backwards since my word this woman is a little intimidating. It’s probably… well. Everything about her. He does, however, grab at his arm subconsciously.

“Jack. Jack M-Maple.” he introduced himself.

[Rim’s eye’s widened as she really took the man in, and she could scarcely believe that she hadn’t noticed it right off the bat.]

“You’re blue!” [She blurted out in lieu of a proper greeting. She kept her ground, but was soon staring intensely at the man. It didn’t appear to be paint, or makeup.]

“Um. Yes! I. I am.” he said, awkwardly, since that really did come out of the… well, blue, hadn’t it? He looked down at his hands, blue as every other part of him was, before looking back up at the woman.

“Been b-blue since I was born.”

He’d never seen a woman looking so grey before, honestly. But. Jack was trying to not be so… well. Jack-like any more or a shut in. “H-hello…?”

[Turning her head, searching for the source of the delicate greeting, Rim’s eyes quickly seized on the slender man who had apparently tried to get her attention.]

“Hello. May I ask who you are?” [Was it the custom for people in this city to be so forward? There again, this was why she had left her old town. A fresh start, new people…]

Jack does his best to not step backwards since my word this woman is a little intimidating. It’s probably… well. Everything about her. He does, however, grab at his arm subconsciously.

“Jack. Jack M-Maple.” he introduced himself.

He smiled faintly and leaned down, pressing a soft kiss to her lips, uncaring where they were or who may object to seeing it. “You should always come first. I can be a c-close second. All right…?” Jack asked. “I don’t… don’t want you getting sick.”

“I-I’ll try my best,” she replied, looking quite happy about the kiss. Though inside her mind she still argued that he came first but she wasn’t going to admit that and keep the slight argument going.

Jack could be pretty persuasive after all and she was weak against him thanks to love.

“B-But you didn’t tell me if you wanted one..” She turned to look back at the woman. “We can get one for you and share it before we go back to see about the photos.”

“Sounds good.” Jack smiled slightly, and thankfully it isn’t too long until the two are sitting on a bench on the pier. Roxy and Stella are tied up to the bench besides them. Jack holds the chowder bowl in his lap, using a plastic spoon, eating slowly a he watches the ocean.

“Katelynn…” Jack moved to her, placing his hands onto her sides gently. “You need to make time. You have to look after number one. You… you’re the most important person to yourself. All right…?”

“I kind of always thought..you were the most important person..” she supplied, giving him an awkward smile, holding the bag with her food in one hand.

“B-But did you want a bowl too? I can get you one..”

He smiled faintly and leaned down, pressing a soft kiss to her lips, uncaring where they were or who may object to seeing it. “You should always come first. I can be a c-close second. All right…?” Jack asked. “I don’t… don’t want you getting sick.”

He didn’t look mad, more concerned. But Katelynn had a habit of blowing things out of proportion like that. Jack looked up at the woman who smiled at him and he just observed her, before looking back at Katelynn.

“E-either way you did just walk away from me. You didn’t even a-attempt to answer. …are you skipping meals again…?”

She winced slightly, paying for her bowl before walking closer to Jack. “N-Not really skipping..I just..don’t have time to eat sometimes..At the museum I manage to get something and eat with Lucy and Marcus and Bernard..but then when I go to the other two..I get busy..is all..”

“Katelynn…” Jack moved to her, placing his hands onto her sides gently. “You need to make time. You have to look after number one. You… you’re the most important person to yourself. All right…?”
