WHAT A PRIVILEGE IT IS TO LOVE — Jacob had invited Cry to come speak with him. He wasn't sure if the avian would take him up on the offer but he still waited in the medic's cavern, as he promised. It was a more relaxing environment than the one he used for official business and he didn't want to invite her into his personal area so this seemed like the best meeting place. Besides, he needed to go over inventory again anyway so it wouldn't be a big deal if she didn't show up. He'd already pulled out a lot of the herbs and was writing everything down in a log. Usually he would have Izuku do it but given his apprentice's recent injuries, he made sure that the feline was just resting for now. Jacob felt bad enough about not getting there in time to help more, he didn't want to be the cause for him getting hurt even more. So, he'd been watching over Izuku between juggling duties to his son and duties to his clan as their Chief.
This only emphasized to him even more that he needed to find someone to take at least one of his positions from him. The progress with Izuku had been consistent and encouraging but obviously that was all now at a stand still. In any case, Jacob was even more exhausted than usual. He did a good job of hiding that fact during the day but right now, in a small, quiet, private moment, he looked just as tired as he felt. He was doing his best to do everything but he knew he couldn't keep up with it all forever. He told himself it'd just be another month at the most. Thankfully, he was awake enough to hear a shuffle at the door and he looked up, a tired smile come to his maw when he saw Cry standing near the entrance. "'M glad ya' came Cry. Well, I don' wanna' say much righ' now. I'll jus' let ya' talk 'bout whatever ya' need but I can ask ya' specific questions if ya'd prefer that," he stated as he sat up, turning away from his herbs for a moment to give his full attention to the raven. He was hoping that he'd make some real progress today in both Cry's emotional recovery and in their personal bond. He couldn't do that if he was only partially paying attention to whatever she'd say.
