[He wants him to want both, and while if he didn't, it wouldn't change how he feels, it does make him feel more like Jackson understands what's important to him, which is good.]
My dad can be intimidating, but taking initiative is a good thing. It's the kind of thing he appreciates, and I do want you two to actually be able to talk to each other.
[He won't go so far as to say "get along" because getting along with David Abernathy is a very nebulous process, but that's not Jackson's issue, that's Abernathy's.]
( Probably not tomorrow. To be honest. Probably not for a few days. Not before he finds his office, talks to the relevant people. Does the research and then ensures he has everything on his side.

Man, if his dad could see him now. He's kind of a social worker.
But much more like a U.S. Marshall. Yeah, that's how he'll put it. )

( that would go the other way around to Whittemore Esq.
