<strong>Name: </strong>Jack Harth<br/><strong>Time: </strong>About eight months ago<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>Elena<br/><br/><strong>"Aye. Their's good pain and bad; everything has its bright and dark sides."</strong>He frowned ever so slightly when she mentioned having even a sip of alcohol.<strong>"Only if you get to the point where I think you can handle it. I'd hate for just a few drops of liquor to undo lots of hard work. I had an aunt, you know, she was an alcoholic... same as my birth father. My aunt ended up dying because she couldn't quit. Liver failure. I visited her every day, right up 'til the end, and it was pretty horrifying in those last few weeks."</strong><br/><br/>He sighed a bit, and then offered her a somewhat sad, apologetic smile.<strong>"Sorry. Didn't mean to paint the moment bleak. I think that's wonderful, that you can do that with vehicles. I am kind of like that, but with science. The moment I see how something's done, it's engrained, you know? I once made soap, five years ago, as a fun thing with my step mother. Still know the exact recipe, and I can even explain all the chemical reactions that occur."</strong><br/><br/>He chuckles a bit.<strong>"There's a good reason I get along with the science teacher. The first batch of stuff I make, I'll likely share it with him." </strong><br/><br/><strong>"I do like to keep myself, and the place, clean. I don't mind if you're a bit on the mucky side of things, especially given the circumstances. I've never been one to shy away from work." </strong>He is quiet for a moment, as he gets himself another can of soda.<strong>"Though, I bet you'd feel better with a nice, hot shower? It's open if you want. Or a bath. Just between you and me, I like to take long, hot baths. Great way to relax. I have bath salts and everything."</strong><br/><br/><strong>"There's towels right in the cabinet in there, and I can run your clothes through the washer and dryer. Or just give you some of my spare clothes. I have some older things, too small for me now, but I've kept them around. They might be around your size."</strong>He offered all of this with nothing less than absolute sincerity. Jack, it would seem, is one of those rare breeds of people; someone who is actually selfless, without being some knock-kneed coward.
