I'd like to, but my dad said no. We aren't used to living with animals actually kept as pets. [ He said no to a dog, he might say no to a cat. ] We live together in a dorm in Xavier's.

[khajidont]

Wait, your Dad got ported in with you? That's great! I'm glad that you don't have to go it alone here.

[Would Jaime want his Dad here? No. Not really. But that's a different case; he knows that this place is more dangerous than the alternative, and while he can take care of it himself, he worries about his Dad. His Dad still seems to think he can take on anything, but he walks with a cane now, and he's done his time. He deserves to rest.

But for anyone like Carl, from a world where everything's at an end, this must seem like a sunny reprieve.]

You don't hear about many parents getting Ported in here with their kids.

[112ounces]

No, he got here a few months ago. I've been here since November. But yeah . . . it's good to have family here. I've noticed I'm one of the more lucky ones.

[ Although he suspects most parents wouldn't dare to imagine about breaking in their own kid's apartment and nearly got into a shoot-out with their kid who mistaken them for a burglar. ]

[khajidont]

So I guess that means that you had to show him the ropes, huh? [Jaime says, smiling faintly. It's difficult for some people who come from hard worlds to truly adapt to this place, but like everything else, it just takes some time and hard work.

A friendly face and a helping hand can only help with that.]

Your world, um... did he know a civilization more like this one way back when, or has civilization been over for a long time now?

[112ounces]

Yeah, we knew what it used to be. I was only twelve when it first hit. My dad used to be a sheriff's deputy back home.

[khajidont]

Oh -- I'm sorry, that's gotta be rough. Most people I know just got born into it.

[Being twelve at the end of the world? Jaime can't imagine it, and he has the good fortune to never have had to experience it. He doubts he ever will either; that sort of thing seems to be what happens to other people. Between people like Bart and Armin and now Carl, he ought to be counting his lucky stars.]

I guess that helped prepare him, though? With these sorts of things, it always seems like a good idea to know how to use a gun.
