*jack looks a little insulted and huffs, before prodding puzzler on the chest* h-hey. respect your elders… young whipper snapper. *he laughs*
*Puzzler snorted, laughing a bit* Sure. Don’t go gray just yet.
*he touches his beard now, frowning slightly* huh… well. it’ll happen one day.
m-maybe this isn’t the year for me romantically… n-not that it’s a bad thing. i’m almost thirty, and never… hm. y’know. *he blushed. hard. god why was he suddenly admitting this?*
*He blinked* You’re older than me? Yeah man, time to find a chick. I’m sure she’s out there. I found mine without even knowing it.

…i… don… i don’t think i like the sound of that….
No? Uh..okay..*rubs his head* well the only other girls I know are forward, brash, will knock your head in if you’re not careful so I guess I can’t really help you after all. That sucks..

shadow…? but don’t we all…?
W-Well..this shadow is actually physical…it moves around however it wants. I don’t quite understand it.
…i… don… i don’t think i like the sound of that….
a doctor…? what.. what is she like..?
Short woman, pretty nice, glasses, has a bit of a shadow hanging around her. She helps the supers and villains when they get hurt. She helped patch me up actually.
shadow…? but don’t we all…?
nice. i don’t… i want a girl who won’t be rude or abrasive. she can be her-herself but i don’t want to feel like i’m going to step on a wrong floorboard and… and upset her. wh-who can accept me for who i am and… and not judge me on my appearance… b-besides that i’m not really worried on looks or… or anything…
*He winced, thinking that was going to be a bit difficult* Sounds like a tall order…*Then remembers one woman who seemed available* Actually..no I do know someone..she’s a doctor. Valerie Whitemire. Not sure about her age but she isn’t old or anything.
a doctor…? what.. what is she like..?
…c-can’t mean a guy can’t dream…
*He chuckles* Well all right, what kind of girl are you looking for?
nice. i don’t… i want a girl who won’t be rude or abrasive. she can be her-herself but i don’t want to feel like i’m going to step on a wrong floorboard and… and upset her. wh-who can accept me for who i am and… and not judge me on my appearance… b-besides that i’m not really worried on looks or… or anything…
*he snorts* n-no. i mean, y-you said you know some girls…?
Yeah. *he chuckles, blushing a bit from taking his question the wrong way* A few girls. But you said you weren’t looking.
…c-can’t mean a guy can’t dream…
w-what? n-no! no… no i’m. i like girls. i like boobs. i-i mean girls. yes. *oh god he’s purple as anything but his curiosity gets the better of him* …a-and you do…?
Like men? *Puzzler made a disgusted face, taking his arm away* No. Ew. No offense.
*he snorts* n-no. i mean, y-you said you know some girls…?
i don’t… i don’t really think any girl would want someone like me. i’m not… not very confident or… any thing.
*He hated to admit it, considering his feelings for Megamind and how much this guy looked like him but tried to reassure him* Hey, don’t sell yourself short. I’m sure you’ll find someone who will cherish you.
And if not, then I can try to set you up. *He grinned, wrapping an around his shoulders gently*
*jack goes quiet, and looks as awkward as he feels. his hands form fists inside his pockets*
…i don’t… i’m not… really looking… though….
