That's true, yes. I wasn't in a place where I realized I needed to change back then. I think I would have figured it out eventually even without your help, but I don't know how successful I would have been on my own. So thank you for helping me come to that decision.
[It probably isn't surprising that Jaeger arrives home fairly quickly after that last message; he's very curious to hear what Wesker's remembered that could possibly be worse than the leeches, after all. He also just wants to be home, both because he doesn't like being away from his husband for too long and because it's January, and January is going to suck. It won't be as bad as last year, of course, but it would be damn near impossible for it to be that bad.
Anyway, he arrives home and heads to the study immediately, are you in here?]
[Of course he is. He's currently got the sunglasses off as well, but that's solely because he's decided that today is a good day to mess with that damn Excalibur puzzle some more and it's easier to see what he's doing without them.
Granted, this means you also get to deal with the fact that his eyes are glowing slightly because this shit is frustrating. You did this to you.]
[He absolutely did, honestly... The glowing eyes are still a bit unnerving if he's perfectly honest, but they don't make him hesitate like they would have several months ago. Instead he'll approach and try really hard not to laugh.]
Are you having fun? You're focusing so hard; it's really cute~!
[...He sounds exasperated, but he wouldn't be doing this at all if he didn't at least somewhat enjoy it, so take it with a grain of salt. That said, he'll fiddle with it some more before just. setting it down for now and settling back against the couch, closing his eyes as he does so.]
[He's able to avoid laughing, but he looks really damn amused. He'll settle against Wesker once the puzzle's set aside though.]
Ja, of course. It was almost completely dead today, I think I saw two people enter total? But I had some work to get done in the back anyway, so that worked out well enough.
Aside from being frustrated with that, how has your day been?
...At some point I was working with a group that seemed to be, for all intents and purposes, my own personal army. I don't know when I was working with them, chronologically, or what we were doing most of the time. But I know that at one point we were tasked with altering human DNA by splicing it with something else. Some sort of...anomalous mold spores.
We created a viable human embryo out of this project; I believe it may have been female. We called it E-001. I don't know what happened to it afterwards.
