because bandwagon'ing is fun, right?

So, Jake's coming "home" again, about six inches taller than he was when he left. He's fifteen now, and very nearly six feet tall, although still lanky as can be. Still doesn't talk much, but he's not quite as shy/fearful of folks as before.

He did get adopted when he left the Deck previously, but an unfortunate accident claimed his foster-parents and rather than be shuffled back to the System again, he decided to strike out for better pastures, so to speak. He did manage to keep Mojo, who is almost grown and still the biggest derp ever, his beautiful Sahara and guess what? Sahara is now a mommy!

He'll still be a part of the Heart Suit, but as always, spending most of his time in the stables with his animal family.

So I've warned you that Eileen's going to attach herself to his side and not let go for approximately a month, yes?

Because that's definitely happening. She's sorry she's still thirteen and not taller than 5' 5".

[wilderhearts]

That's fine, Jake doesn't mind. :) He's not quite as "ZOMG NO GURLS EVER" as most teenage boys. And no worries, he's very good with small creatures. <3

[lowtohigh]

They can skip the 'yargh blar hormones' phase togethar? \o/

Also she would object because she's petite not small thank you very much except for feeling about two feet tall these days can she sob on him yet

[wilderhearts]

Sounds like a plan. Although it might kick up a little later, but probably not to elephantine proportions, thank God. ;)

Of course she can that's what he's here for. Oh and to make all the aminals happies. Including heartachy petite frans.

[lowtohigh]

Hey, if it's enough to counteract her only ever feeling awkwardly hormone-y about Julien, it's a good thing. o/

The aminals are lucky. \o/

[wilderhearts]

Lol, true. I can imagine Elisha would breathe a huge sigh of relief, as well as Argine, too. And basically...everyone, come to think of it. XP

Aminals are always the answer. They make everything better. ♥

[heartshy]

Yesssssss Jake.

[wilderhearts]

All the loves for the bbs. And all the candy and necklaces ever. :D

[heartshy]

What would life be without candy jewelry!

[wilderhearts]

Dreadfully boring and bleak and miserable, is my guess. :D :D

[falsepretences]

Jake is probably glad he missed when the Deck craziness caused the stable roof to cave in. No one was seriously injured, human or equine, but the Suit stables were tight for a while until repairs were done.

Zoe's Sirona is back there now, but since Jordan's advanced to Nine of Spades, Prospero lives at Spade Castle. Avery's Drusilla has almost always been in the Diamond stables.

Likely those three characters are the ones Jake is most likely to know/remember, since Elisha does not do horses, and Ben, Alasdair, and Drew all fall into the category of being able to ride but not doing it often.

[wilderhearts]

The boy probably would have had to have been hospitalized, or at least sedated, lololomg. But thankful, that no one especially the horses was hurt. Yus, Jake remembers Siri and he'll even exercise her for Zoe if she wants. Same goes for the other two; Jake doesn't mind visiting all the stables amid his regular chores.

Idk what time Ben's place opens, but if he's there in the mornings, Jake usually rides by exercising one of his babies, so possible hi/hellos there? Alasdair can hound him about homework, lol, but yeah, Drew he'll probably give a wide berth and just know Elisha by name, probably.

[headfollowheart]

Avery will probably be more willing to let him exercise Dru than Zoe will be about Sirona, lol, but if she gets super busy than she'd probably let him.

Ben's place open's in time for lunch - it's open to about three or four in the morning, so he doesn't serve breakfast. He does live upstairs though, so probably he'll see Jake going past. Alasdair will only hound if when Jake doesn't actually write any of his papers, and Drew wants to know what he ever did. XD

[wilderhearts]

It's nothing personal, Jake's just not really all that comfortable being around men, thanks to his abusive father. Even Ben and Alasdair will get wary looks, so don't feel left out, Drew. He's good from a distance, but conversations are still very much in the reluctant teenage mode.

[intotherough]

It's totally cool. In all likelihood Drew doesn't go by the stables much anyway. He's a city boy from Minnesota, so while he can ride now, he didn't grow up around horses, and riding is just an occasional thing.

At least both he and Alasdair are on the shorter side of average, so they shouldn't be overly intimidating other than being men. Ben is 6'3, sorry.

[gotyourheart]

Jakkkkkkkkkkkkkkke. Rowan will know him for purposes of Suit. Rachel probably won't. He and Teresa might meet at some point down the road?

ETA: Rachel actually might because of her horse, but she's not been able to ride for a while, so.

[wilderhearts]

Rachel can still visit, there are ponies waiting for treats, Miss Diamond. XD

Rowan will probably scare the boy to death, I have no idea why but probably. We'll has to seeee. Jake normally rides one of his horses down through Town in the early morning, so chances of him and Teresa waving at the cafe are high, maybe?

[thecutdiamond]

She will do this thing \o

And aww, Jake. Rowan's not meant to be terrifying. And yes Teresa and Jake could know each other because waving \o/
