[He's surprised to actually find a gift, though is utterly charmed to see what it is and read the note, even if the full hit of the word 'jealous' won't hit him for another fifteen minutes. In the meantime, he's going to try on the shirt, smile a bit, and then take a selfie of him in it and text it to Mercy.]
Thank you for the gift!! It fits great :) Come by sometime and I'd like to repay the favor with some tea I've imported.
Also, I'm glad to hear you spoke to Jon. You're right, and he needs to eat more, and has quite the habit of not doing so. I try to bring him tea and cookies whenever I can but he often squirms his way out of eating. Anything you can do is much appreciated,and you can tell him as much it's from me if he protests.
You look wonderful! Very handsome, sir. I would gladly sup with you whenever might be convenient. Remind me which apartment you are in?
I will chide him most well, if given leave. He is not the first ornery scholar I have had the pleasure to know. My favored tutor, Brother Ainsley, was the Abbey's archivist. Your gentleman love reminds me of him; though, Mr. Jon does seem to be younger. Or he's kept his hair more favorably in his golden years.
Jon and I are in block B, apartment 4! And thank you for doing that for him. We're actually about the same age, but everyone things he looks much older. It's the grey hair, I think. But it's cute so I'm glad he has it :)
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.
