He was pretty reluctant to talk about it in the first place so I didn't push the point. If you find out who and you can let me know, I'll probably recognize the name. I know at least half the people here by now.
I didn't realize you worked at a dentist's office, Jaime-kun.
I'll try. I noticed that he had a bruise, but I didn't want to push. Maybe I should have... I don't want him to think I don't trust him, but as his guardian I need to look out for him. Figuring out how this works... it's complicated.
Probably not for much longer but yeah I've worked there since I got here.
I dunno I don't think anyone could expect you to be able to totally take over overnight. Kinda hard balancing how hard to push so he'll tell you, but when to ease off so he doesn't just hide everything from that point on
[Minato finds it obscurely reassuring that Jaime thinks it's a tricky situation, too, and wonders when Jaime became his standard for normalcy.]
Yeah, I don't want to take over at all, really... I just don't want him to have to deal with everything alone. It's hard to tell how this works. I was never close with my guardians.
[Minato's glad this is in text, because his discomfort over the analogy to family is easy to hide this way. The association is immediate and obvious, but that doesn't mean he (or Ken) are willing to bring it up.] I don't know how being a big brother works, either...
Should I act like Akihiko?
[Don't ask about Akihiko's little sister, Jaime, even though this is an obvious lead in. Just don't.]
No one way you have to think of it. Besides, it's not like you're alone in wanting to take care of him. Any place you don't feel like you've got downpat the rest of us can help with

Thank you for letting me know... and for helping him. I'll take care of it.

I dunno if there's a certain way this works. It might just be trial and error

I dunno if there's any one way to act like a brother. I'd have to see him with Ken I guess

I don't know... You act like a brother, too.

If that's what it takes then you're well on your way on being a good brother too
no subject
I guess that's true. You got me. Although, we're not family.
