OK i was trying to be cool before and not care but now im legit starting to get worried and like i dont wanna be clingy and needy but what if you got blown up or hurt or someone cut off your hands because you did too many weird gestures and you're in some weird city that isn't as chill as hades and just
When the phone's shoved at him and he actually manages to understand what he's reading, Jefferson's first thought is that it's a trick. A test of obedience. And though the thought of telling Kenzi what happened crosses his mind, it's quickly stamped down. He'd never be able to get the message out before the phone's taken away and he's punished for even being stupid enough to try. The realization-- that he's so close to possible salvation, but he can't reach for it-- causes him to laugh, sharply and hysterically, before it bleeds into a short sob.
He'll just take this for what it is: some small comfort he's been allowed for good behavior. He hasn't, after all, been defiant since his head was taken off and put back right. So he should be grateful for this.
It takes a while to put a response together, given how difficult it is to type with his fingers shaking so much. ]
my hands are still attached :) i miss you more than i can say if i were a poet i'd put it in verse
[A REPLY! From ACTUALLY JEFFERSON and not accidentally Bucky! Kenzi sits up on her bed and reads it with a huge grin, actually standing up to jump on her bed before replying!
No one saw her do it, it's fine. Her rep is intact.]
[|:)
you freaked me out, dude. i was about to send LHPD after you with Tupac sniffing you out. Are you coming home soon? ARE YOU BRINGING ME SOMETHING?
[ SHE REMEMBERED HIS INFURIATING HAT SMILIE. This is the first time he's smiled since he was snatched up and taken to this place. But perhaps he was too blatant with his happiness, since it earns him a swift kick to his side, as if he were a misbehaving dog. He drops the phone, apologizing, though he doesn't even know what he should be apologizing for.
Once he's given permission, he sends her a response. ]
lmao, yeah, its perf! totally looks like me. cant even tell the difference
its cool. i figured you just couldnt find a phone charger or lost your phone or... the other worst case scenarios i listed
[The fact that he doesn't say if he's coming home soon or not is not lost on her. She chews her bottom lip, frowning down at the phone. Should she press the issue? Or just let it go. Maybe it's nothing. Maybe she's just overreacting and turning into one of those crazy girlfriends.]
[ He sniffs, blinking rapidly, trying not to cry from such a simple conversation. But he meant what he said about missing Kenzi more than he could say, and it hurts, having this limited contact with her and knowing that it's going to be taken away on a whim. ]
he likes to chase scarves hes very gooda t klling them
Scarf murdering, check. I will definitely help him brush up on his silk slaying skills until you come back.
It really sucks around here without you. I'm legit dying a second time from boredom and there's no one to get mad at or make fun of or makeout with.
[She debates with herself for a while about sending this last part. It feels right. It feels like something that might be true. Actually, she knows it's true but she doesn't want to scare him away, so she's gotta word it properly.]
I think I L-word you? But I'm not sure. So I need you to hurry up with your adventure and come back.
[ HE L-WORDS YOU, TOO, KENZI. Unfortunately, his captor doesn't even let him know about that part. Just keeps the phone out of reach and reads half of the message back to him, not even allowing Jefferson to type his own response. ]
thank you bring him some mice to kill too please
you have my permission to put a hat on chase and make fun of/kiss him until i return :)
[Ouch. Her heart sinks just a little when he doesn't even acknowledge it, but maybe text isn't exactly the best platform for this kind of thing. It's fine. It's ...probably fine...]
