This is Abe no Sousei. Leave your request promptly.

Thank you.

[ Then suddenly, mid-salute, Jaune lunges forward and grabs Sousei in a big old bearhug. Being a freakishly tall teen, he even lifts Sousei off his feet. ]

Alright-- this is happening. [ Don't fight it, man! He knows Sousei is totally going to hate this, but he's also never going to forget it... as much as he'll want to!! ] Theeere we go... just two macho guys hugging it out - totally normal.

[deontology]

[Oh god dammit Jaune.

Right off of his feet, too--Sousei makes a face despite himself, because no, he's really not enjoying this at all--

But he doesn't squirm and he doesn't try to pull away, until Jaune seems properly done, and then he steps back and brushes himself off.

A-ahem.]

Are you finished?

[Sousei, just accept the affection.]

[beaconed]

Yeah, okay, I can see how that was weird. Well, Abe, it's been an experience!

[ But he got it out of his system, so no regrets!! Jaune scurries past Sousei, as he really does appear to be finished, but he stops one last time without turning around to face him. ]

Good luck with things back home, yeah? And-- ......thanks... for everything. [ Not just from him, but on behalf of Pyrrha as well. ]

[deontology]

[... Cute.

Despite himself, Sousei's lips twitch into a smile at that, though he simply lifts a hand to wave, though he knows Jaune isn't looking.

It's fine.

They were able to say what needed to be said, and now it's their lot in life to part. But Sousei knows that Jaune will look after Pyrrha, and Pyrrha will look after Jaune.

And maybe Jaune will be able to be the proper hero and champion of this world, just as he'd dreamed of being for another.

That's enough for him; Sousei has a home of his own to save, and that's exactly what he's going to do.]
