[Dodger hesitates as well, laying there for a minute that feels like an hour before slowly reaching over and pulling Jason closer. Generally, in his own memory at least, he tends to hold Jason in one arm, like a damsel hanging off his shoulder. Right now he tangles their legs and hugs him like a stuffed animal, and he would press his face into him if it weren't for the cigarette in his mouth.]
[This... was a surprise. Now and again he can convince Dodger to cuddle more intently with him but it was a rare thing. He relaxes and moves to wrap his own arm arms around him, gently stroking his back.]
It's okay.
[It wasn't fully and hopefully Dodger knows that, but he was genuinely feeling better.]
[Sometimes, he swears Crusher is a better listener than Jason. He takes the cigarette from his mouth and crushes their lips together, before smacking Jason's forehead lightly.]
It doesn't matter what our business is, yeah? Need to know basis.
[He takes a long drag from his smoke, and lets the smoke escape his mouth idly as he speaks.]
I'm not going anywhere. No one gets rid of me until I'm good and ready.
He's a bit surprised at the kiss but he smiles anyways. He was just as simple as a dog. He scrunches his nose at the small slap and sticks his tongue out at him.]
Alright fair... and good.
[He puts a small kiss on his cheek.]
If you leave again I'll find you and kick your ass.

Thank you for apologizing.

[He speaks almost as if he didn't hear Jason; he's lost in his own thoughts again, but at least the thoughts are much tamer.]
It's been a long time since I've seen anybody from home, y'know? Months. That's a fucking lifetime for me.

was content with Dodger just rambling.]
You've been gone along time, kinda thought you had died, or skipped town... some of the people here seem decent?

Nah... that Jacobson chick I told you about, we got unfinished business. Once I get back, I'm sticking with her 'til I get my end of the deal.
[His nose wrinkles.]
Guess if I disappeared, though, she ain't getting anywhere... she's useless toeing it with the law.

[He doesn't remember most of what Dodger told him about her, he doesn't remember most things.]
And you better not disappear I'd miss you.
