[ he’ll have to buy him something a little more heavy-duty than what lin normally uses, but. he’s not exactly mad at the excuse to shop. it’s practically charity.
he snorts to himself at the compliment. he can be. he was, once. dirty and starving, in tattered clothes. his boss reminds me that it could still happen again, but lin knows that’s not true. he has a lucrative skill now that will keep him from ever going back there again.
live as long as possible. he turns the thought around in his head, frowning. so much of his time has been spent living day by day with no thought of an unattainable future. the future had never been a concern when every day brought a new way to face death. ]
seems like a long time to have to fill up with stuff to do.
[ for someone who’s dedicated his entire life to taking care of other people, lin can’t even begin to imagine how he’s supposed to tackle that amount of time. caring for his ailing mother and making sure his sister gets a job where she uses her brain instead of her body, he supposes.
maybe watching rex’s hair turn streaky with gray. going on dates and teaching him to use lotion like a normal person. that. seems daunting. but not entirely unappealing. ]
well i can help you color your hair if you want, but i think it looks fine how it is. even if it gets more gray, it’ll look fine.
you’ll still look gloomy anyway. but... it works. for you. i kind of like it now.
