WHAT A PRIVILEGE IT IS TO LOVE — Jacob had been working on cataloging the new herbs he'd brought back from the Typhoon when Jersey had come to visit. He didn't mind the company and he was more than used to multi-tasking with Jersey around. Besides, with Izuku's injuries lately, it was nice to have someone to talk to while he worked. He tried to juggle his duties between being chief and frosthealer as well as he could but sometimes he missed out on the more social activities that really kept him going. It was nice to sit and talk to his big brother, even if he did have to work while he did it. When he heard his comment about the weather, he chuckled and shook his head. "I like it. I wear my sweaters n' all tha' though so 'm sure it don' bother me as much as it does you. Plus I got thicker fur than ya' do anyway, even without all the bandages n' stuff." That was only partly true. While his fur was certainly thicker where he had it, most of the areas covered by his bandages were hairless because of the scars. Still, there was no denying Jacob probably retained heat a lot better than the feline did.
He had just been glancing up when Jersey noticed the cut. He'd nearly forgotten about it, honestly, although the memories of the lighthouse were clear in his mind. Pincher's teeth had just been a bit sharper than he'd anticipated. When he was asked about it, his mind began to try and think of excuses. But then Jersey demanded an answer. "Oh, uh, w-well, I-" his voice faltered while he tried to think of a decent excuse. Obviously telling the truth was out of the question but Jacob was a terrible liar. Then it came on him. Just tell things in half truths. Substitute the word 'kissing' for something more indicative of a fight and Jersey would probably just let it go. "Oh, well, ya' see... Pincher was kinda' drunk after the blind date thing so I decided ta' 'elp 'im get home n' then, uh, well, once we got there, he... he jus' punched me. I mean, really, we punched each other but he was kinda' drunk n' I don' think it was even that big a deal-" he answered, although nervousness slipped into his tone. He honestly hadn't been in very many fights so he was going to be stuck if Jersey asked him to describe it in full detail but he hoped the feline wouldn't be that observant. —A GREAT HONOR TO HOLD YOU UP
