He was ... broken up with and ditched, can you blame the guy? Still team Mia. Just saying.

( He really can't. )

Is Connor's rough year cause he took all that to heart? His brother was the one jilted. Lemme guess. He's an empath.

[canarying]

Oh, no. JJ is being a dick to me, not Mia, when Mia has not even been mentioned. He's not even returning my stupid text messages.

[She's clearly taking it personally that JJ has decided he doesn't want to be her friend anymore for no good reason.

Mia keeps it focused on Connor though. "It was rough before JJ and I broke up. He's been going through some personal stuff." She's not going to out Connor though, so she'll just leave it there.

That does sound like a JJ problem. You think he would do good if someone, not you guys, reached out? Pulled him back from his dickishness?

( Could that help? )

Well, I'm here. For either brother. Or both. Not like that. Yaknow, if it might help.

[Zoe shakes her head.]

I don't know. I think we should probably just give him space and see if he gets over it. But hey, if you run into him, you're welcome to try.

[pumping]

We don't... run in the same circles. But, yeah, maybe if he ever shows his face at Verdant. I won't turn my nose up at him.

( Who is he to? )

Thanks, for this induction. I'm excited to get to work. Slaying's one thing, and there's the club, but this feels like my jam.

[canarying]

Of course. We're happy to have you on board. We'll be in touch as things come up.

[And with that she will dive back into her paperwork (sadly), but Mia will glance over Jay Michael's way, and gives him a small nudge. "Want to go grab dinner?"]

[pumping]

Yes.

( And then they go and grab dinner. Finis. )
