older jamie bc reasons.

Hey, cut it out. There's nothing embarrassing about studying fables. I'm going to be a curator — or a writer, maybe both! One day, that is. The first chapter would have to be on ... [ hmmm what a hard choice!! ] Bigfoot, obviously.

[Yeah, he was a pretty small thing. But he sure did grow up a looot.

Blinking, he takes a step closer and holds up his own hand in response, before pressing it against his. There's a definite difference, and the tips of Jamie's fingers don't even come close to his older self's.

After that he grins broadly, looking up.]

Oh wow....I'm...I'm so tall!

[That's pretty impressive to a kid.]

[undergrad]

We're taller than everyone! Except Caleb.

[ sage nodding. ]

[i_believe]

[He chuckles, nodding too. That he could believe.]

So...so what's it like, being older?

[undergrad]

It's cool! You get a job and can buy as many books as you like, then you move out when you go to college. Jack still visits us!

[i_believe]

[All of that sounds exciting, but hearing Jack still visits is something he wanted to hear.]

He does? That's great!

I knew I'd never stop believing, I just knew it.

[undergrad]

Hard to stop believing in the guy who ices up our window just to say Hi.

[i_believe]

[Jamie giggles.]

That's true! Does everyone else still see Jack too?

What about the Sandman? ...Bunny? Santa? ...the Toothfairy?

[Do you remember how full of questions you used to be, Jamie?]

[undergrad]

[ still is, lil man, still is. deflates, though. ]

Not everyone. Sophie does! That's ... And Cupcake believed the longest out of the others.

[i_believe]

Oh...

[He'd hoped, but perhaps having them all believe that long was a bit much to ask for.]

I'm glad Sophie still does though.

[undergrad]

Sophie still loves Easter, she and Bunny share paints.

[i_believe]

That's great!

What about the Toothfairy? ...does she still come, even when you lost all your baby teeth?

[undergrad]

I ... think she'll be visiting soon.

[i_believe]

Oh, really? How come?

[undergrad]

Uh. I'm going to take her out for something to eat.

[i_believe]

...Really?

[That's...interesting. Cool though! His grin only grows.]

Can you tell her I said hi?

[Yes, young Jamie from the past wants to say hello.]

[undergrad]

Definitely! I'll give her a hug from you, too.

[i_believe]

[He's all smiles at this point.]

Thank you!

[undergrad]

[ ruffles his tiny!self's hair. ]

No problem. Growing up is a lot of fun.

[i_believe]

Oh good- Mom always said I'd enjoy growing up, but I'm still not sure if I'm gonna like it too much...

..but I believe you if you say it is!

[undergrad]

It gets a little shaky sometimes, but you'll be okay.
