[WEIRD. A weird kid... Jack looks at him without outwardly giving too much of that uneasy curiosity away, because that's just how he tends to observe the things around him.

I've been told. [A LITTLE TOO LATE, BUT...] I'll have to wait for the ground to regain some of its nutrients before I start to plant more things, but I'm looking forward to it! I do love tomatoes, but having only tomatoes is a little limiting.

[That said, easy as that strange statement would be to pass right over and leave unaddressed, curiosity does get the better of him in the end.]

Are you a storyteller by trade? You seem to have a knack for it!
