"No no, I... I need it, really," He glanced up, meeting Jordan's eyes honestly, "There's a fine line and... and I need to know um. You know. I'm a mess to begin with, ahahaha. Um. And if you don't, who will?" Candace had seen the signs early on, but that hadn't helped either. He always felt like he could keep up with her a bit better when he was... more relaxed.

Jordan was silent for a long moment, then he nodded a little. "I'll try," he said. "Don't let me be a jerk to you, all right?" There were a lot of things he could say, maybe, and probably shouldn't. He kept them to himself.

"Well.. you've... been nothing but kind to me so far. Ahahaha..." Jerry huddled down again, busying himself with his coffee. He wished things weren't so... awkward. It was his own fault. They had been on their way to mending their friendship, and in a fit of desperation, he had... messed things up again.

The look of surprise was swiftly covered, masked by a small smile. Jordan fiddled with his cup, suddenly and irrationally angry with himself. He'd really messed things up, hadn't he? And now he had no idea what to do about it. "I'm going to get something to eat," he said, falling back to a safer subject. "I'll get you a bagel or something."

"I think I could stomach a bagel," Jerry's smile softened as he leaned back, happy that the conversation had veered away from uncomfortable areas. Jordan meant well... he always meant well. He wanted to say more, but would it only hurt matters? Take it one day at a time. Before he ran out of friends.

"Cream cheese or plain?" Jordan got up, picking his cup up. Maybe while he went to grab something more substantial for breakfast for both of them, he could manage to think of a safe topic for conversation. At least, one that wouldn't tip them right back into the awkward, fidgeting weirdness that seemed to ambush them whenever they talked recently.

"Cream cheese sounds great," Jerry leaned back, pursing his lips as he watched Jordan go. Just... take things one step at a time. He'd be ok. They'd all be ok. Just... ease their way through life and hope not to die on a mission. It was the least any of them could do.
