#[ Taryn buying Jacob clothes and just tucking it in his wardrobe to see if he notices? YES OF COURSE ]

----- WALK a little faster, woman. He's getting pretty loopy.

"Oh, so you've noticed the other members giving me those little gifts? No wonder you got so grumpy that day Bucky gave me that big rose bush he'd clearly pulled from someone's garden." Cultists, male and female, had certainly given her little presents here and there. She had no clue Jacob was paying that much attention to it.

That is, if his ramblings were worth any weight of truth and not just the words of a nearly gone man that was drunk on his own brain chemistry and the beauty of this woman 'saving' him.

"Sometimes I wish you liked gifts. I have far too much money, more than I'll ever need. But it seems all you love in an object sense is your rifle, and I've never seen you give even a second glance at the clothes I've bought and put in your wardrobe. Think I even saw you toss out that new flannel."

The violet sheen of her car came into view once more, peeking out from behind a cluster of boulders. Thank goodness she had memorized the fastest route to the Veteran's Centre, and the peggies gave her no trouble on the roads anymore.

A groan after being swooped up told her he had not appreciated being picked up unceremoniously like that but he wasn't about to start verbally complaining, not when he had something else to talk about...

"Teddy bear..? But 'm a wolf boy..." If he remembered that line by tomorrow he was going to die of embarrassment. The pout that followed it would incarcerate him in embarrassment prison for sure.

"Don' like teddy bears anyways except when I give 'em to you... The way you light up at any gift is fuckin' cute. Reminds me why I don't end it all when it gets too hard for me to carry on."

Though he hadn't noticed himself doing so... He curled into her chest, if he was a cat he would've probably started purring. Safe. Content... Even if there was blood everywhere.

"I really do love ya though... First I just wanted to take somethin' away from John but ye grew on me... Awww I really am a teddy bear..."
