WHAT A PRIVILEGE IT IS TO LOVE — Jacob wasn't used to sitting in meetings anymore. Just a few months ago, he'd have never imagined himself as someone to get in front of anyone and taking charge of any situation, really, but now he had to do it all the time. He still wasn't used to it and, to be honest, it was nice not having to get in front of anyone. He did notice his friend's lack of note cards and felt his face heat up in embarrassment. Did everyone not do that? He knew Leigh hadn't but he'd thought... well, he wasn't sure what he thought. Maybe he should try to do his without any notes. He was just so worried about forgetting someone or something important. Then, as he continued to listen, his mind went past what Pincher was doing and focused in on his appearance and presentation. A light frown came to his maw and he moved closer to the captain with hardly a thought. He needed to get a closer look at the doberman. He may have been chief officially but Jacob was a doctor and he wouldn't stand to see his... friend in pain. As he moved forward, he heard Georgie's voice and his frown deepened briefly. How could she think he looked fine? And what was with that one statement? "We like our boys rough and tumble." What did that even mean? Whatever it meant, it certainly left an unpleasant feeling in his chest and made his head ache a bit. He wasn't sure why, it's not like he was jealous, there was nothing for him to be jealous of. Georgie had probably only meant it as a general statement and, even if she hadn't, it wasn't like there was anything between him and the captain.
"Lemme' take a look at ya', Pinch. 'S probably nothin' but I wanna' make sure you're okay. Where's Lily at? She should take a look at ya' too," he stated as he finally came to the point where he was standing right near the doberman. As he looked at him, even in his current state, and at their surroundings, he thought of the night when Pincher had brought him down here alone. He'd said it was something for only Typhoon members to see but it was his favorite place. Jacob had agreed it was absolutely beautiful, of course, but there'd been more attractive things for him to see that night than even the brilliant colors of the ocean and the creatures that inhabited it. It was silly to think of such a moment when he needed to probably treat Pincher for whatever had happened but he couldn't help it. There was a part of him that wished that night had lasted forever.
In the moment, he'd been unsure of his own actions, and maybe he still was, but he didn't regret what he'd done. He would do it again if he felt like he could. He'd thought a lot about what he wanted to do as a followup to that night but then the humans had come and the bigger concerns had swept everything else away. Still, Rosie, the sugar glider that now seemed to latch onto Jacob's shoulder wherever he went, was a reminder of all that'd occurred and now he was reminded of it more than ever, being in both the same place and with the same person. The circumstances now were very different, obviously, but that didn't stop his mind from lingering on it even while he looked over Pinch, trying to identify the problem. —A GREAT HONOR TO HOLD YOU UP
