Growing Pains
(Immediately following this.)

Mason Jeffries, just like anyone else in the world, has things he stresses about. Right now however, he's more stressed than most people would have seen him. He knows his parents worry enough, and some of the subject matter made him hesitant to try to discuss it with Nim first, so... big brother.

He arrives at Jordan's room only to find him apparently packing.

"...hey Jordie... you going somewhere... right now?"

"I know that..." He smiles sheepishly at the affirmation. "But... I just feel like I should be doing more. Asking Mel for advice would be awkward... Mom would be too awkward for words.... you know any girls I could ask?" Half a second pause. "Scratch that, let me rephrase. You know way too many girls to leave a question like that open-ended. Do you know any girls I should ask for advice? I just want to make her happy...-er."

	"I'll give you some phone numbers. There's a girl from Toronto I had a couple dates with who writes a sex advice column... Vernique might also be able to help you some, if you want me to bring it up discretely when I'm down there. And... seriously, you're doing fine." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mason blushes. "Uh... pass on the sex writer for now... but sure, Vernique seems pretty smart." He pauses. "I like that she makes you happy, Jordan." Mason says plainly, but with a smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"She does. Its extremely complicated, and we're not really exclusive... but its nice. She is also really smart, you're right on that part. I'll see what I can do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Keep me posted." Mason gets up, cracking his neck. "Come on, I'll drive you to the airport. Got any time to stop for something to eat on the way?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We're heading for the airfield, not the airport. Shorter trip. I'm taking my plane down, was just putting in for the clearances. But food... definitely. Nowhere to get decent poutine in California." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think they call their knock-off 'disco fries'. Your guess is as good as mine." Mason shrugs. "You should take Vernique to La Banquise sometime. Remember when Mom said there was no way Dad and us could get through all ten of the kinds we wanted? We showed her." He grins. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He laughs and nods. "Big appetites. I'll have to do that, though not minding the idea of Southern Cali Mexican for a bit either. Its only for a week or so." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If I do end up going to Cal-Sci, you'll have a chance to get it a lot more often.." Mason manages another smile. He's just really not that good at depression and/or anxiety, so it falls off him easily, for now. And off they go. (Reply to this)(Parent)
