They still needed to work out the logistics of it and for a large part, the girl still needed to revisit the structure of the assessments. So yeah, he still had plenty of time...in theory.

She offered him his spoon once he'd taken a seat, ready for any and all questions he may have had--and the look on his face told her he had plenty.

As it turned out, the first question wasn't so hard to answer. The young girl took a spoon of the mixed flavoured sundae, allowing herself an extra moment to think over the answer. It was out of care more than anything else. Derf was a friend. The last thing she wanted was for him to grow as despondent as RJ had. Merlin she'd just feel a million times worse.

"Because for as much as I'm a bad person, I don't wanna be a bad person to you 'cause you're my bestfriend. It would be an objectively bad thing to take your first kiss--don't even mention Aqua--for an experiment if you wanna save it for some time special or something. 'Cause what if you look back one day and think about it and realize you're actually upset you wasted in on fueling my knowledge of concepts??" By the end, her eyes
had widened with genuine concern. She would not let her friend live with regrets.
If the blank stares while on two-way mirror call with Jessa had not spelled out his confusion enough, the look he wore on his face now made such sentiment undeniable because WHAT? Failing to notice the spoon being offered to him, the 12-year-old's jaw dropped when his FIRST best friend went on about how she was a bad person and he was looking at her like she had about two dozen heads.

Hmm...could that, in theory, make Jessa a Cerberus if she DID have more heads? Well...maybe if he was looking at her like she had THREE then it would feel more accurate. Or maybe she was more like a hydra? Because the more she spoke the more heads seemed to be growing out of her shoulders.

He WAS about to mention Aqua, for the record, but she silenced him and his mouth just hung open like a trout's until she was finished.

"But...you're not a bad pers-son...I don't make bes-s-st friends-s with bad people..." he said defiantly despite the trailing off. "Why would you think you were one?"
