[He needs to use the word "happy" with more discretion, really. He's beginning to believe that it's something that might be possible here, but...it's a little soon to be making those sorts of calls. Especially about Eren, as much as that breaks his heart.]
That's all I need to know, then. Thanks Jean. Sorry for pulling you into the rumor mill, so to speak.
[Then he smiles a little and sits down on the couch. He's stupid tall so it's easier if he's sitting. Plus it hides his tag movements at least a little.]
[It's coming to him, don't worry!! She's instantly making a video call to him after reading that and there's one (1) extremely excited Anna on the screen as soon as he answers!]
[...She could have just checked if he's there but she got way too excited to do that.]
It iiiiis!! I mean I hope it is, to you, I think it's a really amazing idea and all and why haven't I thought of it before this, we just really don't know but--- Hey, you're at your forge right now, right? The one that's your own business here and all? That forge is so cool, by the way, looks amazing, I'll be a regular there or at least I will give my money to you for something!!
[She's rambling and she totally uh.... Lost her whole point somewhere there.]
[It wouldn't be Anna if that didn't happen almost all the time.]
Thanks, I'll think of something or a lot of things for you to make~! Ohh, oh right, that idea thing! Well, since you have that business here and if you're not about to start a second business which would technically be your first business since some people have seen that from you before and if no one else is about to do this--
[Okay, more rambling, or more like more and more excited rambling.]
[Okay, she's rambling about businesses and all he can understand that much. But otherwise it's kind of hard to make sense of her through the excitement.]
Uh... come again? I didn't understand half you said.
[ Deep breath. And another one too before she tries again! ]
Can I sort of adopt Barkour from you through the whole mysterious, world hopping universe or multiverse or whatever -- who knows how all of that goes between Avalon and this place -- by starting it here with the same name and idea and everything? I mean, maybe there will be some changes, don't really know about those yet either, but I didn't just want you to run into it here all out of nowhere even if I could see that you're someone who wouldn't even had minded and would have just found it amusing...
[SHE'S RAMBLING AGAIN!!!]
So yes, ummm, my puppies and I really miss that place but it's not here, at least not yet, so can I?
[Oh. Oh. Jean's confusion changes for a smile. He couldn't think of anyone better to continue Barkour than Anna, to be honest. She was always there and excited to help however way she could.]
Of course you can. There's no one else I'd rather give the rights of the place to. And I'll definitely be visiting there with our animal crew.
[In her infinite wisdom, Caster, who felt a little guilty for just how poorly she treated him on their venture to the winter segment (even if it was his own fault! He asked her to be awful to him!), decided the best solution to this problem was to work out where Jean lived and leave an ominously wrapped care package on his doorstep. It looked like the Halloween gift wrap was already in stock, so that would do nicely.
Creepy witch.
If she was hoping that she hadn’t burned her bridge with him, it was certainly the wrong way to go about it- but maybe he’d appreciate a warm winter cloak, and a pair of obnoxiously (mockingly) fluffy ear-muffs.]
