Exactly. I've already, uh, given him kind of a talking to about that one. [Jaime offers Ken a sheepish sort of smile, knowing full well how odd the idea of anyone giving Minato a talking to sounds. Minato's just not the sort of guy that people can lecture easily, but it was important to Jaime that Minato knows that he cares about him, no matter what he's doing, and no matter where he's gone. Jaime cares about the nice customer he met at work, and what he enjoyed or didn't enjoy for lunch, and the quiet satisfaction of coming back home. It's the fabric of their lives, and that makes it just as important as the big things.
He's not sure if Minato quite understands that yet, but heck, Jaime's trying to make him understand. At least Minato understands that for whatever nebulous reason, it's important to Jaime, and Minato tends to acquiesce to whatever's important to his friends. Jaime counts himself as lucky to be among that number.]
He's gotten a lot better at it, but we can work on it together, to show him that we care. And we have to remember what he tells us, like he remembers what we tell him... but you won't have a big problem with that. Your memory's too good.
