[OH WHEW. man. who expected jasper to be doing the heavy emotional labor here. carrying feelings in her big strong arms.]

You don't have to. It was... not a good time, I think. Everything started happening so fast, and the way you were talking... [scared him. a little.] I'm glad Jasper got through.

[a pause] I know I am definitely not someone who "gets it"-- I don't really get most things here to begin with... But, I hope you will still talk with me. I like talking with you.
