[ His hand slides across her face, and he knows that this doesn’t fix anything. It’s her father. He should love her and know her. She isn’t easy to leave behind, never.] Maybe you will at some point, but it’s… okay you don’t feel it yet.

[It’s okay, and someday she will, but she doesn’t have to right now. He spent so much time numb that he’ll never try to make someone else try to feel something before they’re ready to do it.

She does do good. Jeremy is card of her moving into the Tower, much as he figured she would, but she already does good and she’ll do more.]

If anyone could have a bunch of minions, it’d be you.

[Minions of the ghosts or anything else, but he’s smirking at her since obviously she wouldn’t have actual minions.

He breaks into a smile of his own that matches hers when she gives it to him, and Jeremy leans in to press a kiss against her lips. It’s the best Christmas gift for him, and he’l be happy to have her.]

Okay. [Jeremy says in agreement and then he looks sideways at her, shaking his head.]

You don’t have to thank me. All sorts of things go hand in hand with loving and knowing you.
