WHAT A PRIVILEGE IT IS TO LOVE — Jacob was always a big fan of group games and the like. Of course, who he played with made a big difference. He did enjoy playing with Jersey's friends sometimes, for example, but sometimes they were a little too wild for him. He much preferred to play with the younger kids around the neighborhood but soon enough they were all roped into the schemes of Jersey and the older kids. There were lots of... interesting games of truth or dare, spin the bottle, and just about any other game that invited a bunch of boys to be irresponsible together. Jacob wasn't sure what'd drawn him to the feline or the games he played, looking back on it all. He'd been quieter back then and he certainly didn't have the confidence to do any of those things until Jersey asked him to do it. Then again, he'd always been willing to go the extra mile for Jerseyboy for no reason that was apparent to anyone, including himself. It wasn't that he was a bad big brother but Jacob certainly valued his opinion much higher than he probably should've, especially when they were kids.

At the call of a game, Jacob made his way over with a light smile on his maw. He settled down and tilted his head, wondering what game the deer wanted to play. He knew that Harrison had given him a task but he couldn't remember now what his son had requested, exactly. Still, he was up for just about anything so long as it wasn't too crazy. Besides, he didn't think August was the type to play the kinds of games Jersey had preferred when they were younger. While Jacob didn't know the undead creature very well, he didn't seem the sort for those kinds of things. "I'll play, if ya' don' mind," the husky stated as he arrived, settling down with a light smile. —A GREAT HONOR TO HOLD YOU UP
