Is he really? I think it is more his disposition that lends itself to thinking he may be older. He speaks as I might expect a man who has seen the seasons turn thrice as many as mine might. I spoke to him of the small concerns: his health and comfort, and he seemed to dismiss them for larger troubles. Ones that lurk on the horizon, but have no bearing on his life from one day to the next.

Well, we have seen a lot back at home. But he's always sounded like that. He just tends not to think of himself. Or worse, badly of himself, so he doesn't deserve the kindness of others. Which is why I sincerely appreciate anytime someone offers to go a little over the necessary to be nice to him. He doesn't exactly go out of his way to be nice either, but it's mostly stress.

[He loves Jon. He loves Jon so much. But also, Mercy is quickly becoming the perfect candidate for 'make Jon feel better' whenever Martin can't be around, and damn right he's going to take that when Jon sometimes seems determined to be miserable.]

I'm really thankful you see the good in him. More people should.

He is the one you love. I count your judgement well, Martin. Even if I were to see every flaw, it would seem to me there must be some hidden goodness within to have your heart. I will be a pest to him, even if he does not much appreciate it.

Thank you, Mercy. It means a lot.

Thanks again for the gift, and come by for some tea sometime soon :)
