But oh well.

Finny? Who was Fi-... ohhhhh. Finny.

Well... that hurt.

Jake sat for a moment, LOOKING hurt, feeling the cat nudge his hand as he picked up the book. Once he had hold of it, the young man handed it back to Neptune silently.

Well... silently at first. He caught that look towards the door. He'd ventured out of the library to have a happy few minutes, or even talk about something that had been bothering him, but it had turned into Neptune sulking because there was ONE THING that Jake didn't agree with.

"You are acting as though I never agree with you on anything, Neptune," he said quietly, standing up, still looking hurt. He was so SO SO sure she'd mentioned Finn on purpose. Did she know about the history? He couldn't remember. Lolcat jumped to Jake's heel as his eyes started to really tear up, something he'd avoided. "Maybe I should go back to the library if you don't want to talk right now. It's probably best. This is something we won't agree on."

He glanced at the table. Eh... food. He should eat, but the idea of doing so made him feel sick. Or maybe that was something else.

Neptune's FEELINGS, which were already stung by the rejection of her gift, just shattered when he didn't put a fight to keep her gift. Neptune Bott did not just give GIFTS. She had put thought and effort into something that was for the betterment of another. She had sent for the book and asked for nothing for herself. It wasn't often Neptune was selfless and it had paid off .... before.

However, her mention of Finny was just that: a mention. He was a friend and she wasn't using that as a weapon against Jake. She wouldn't have ever thought to do that, wouldn't have known to. Neptune would PROBABLY just throw the book in the garbage on her way out and never want to see it again.

"I'm acting like I care whether or not ...." Neptune just bit it off. She wasn't going to SAY it AGAIN. The fact that she HAD to say it at all spoke loudly. "Fine. Bye."
