"Really? Your brother?" His eyes glanced at her with curiosity. "If I make your big brother say yes, then you'll be my wife, right?" Those eyes turned into that of big puppy eyes. It was like a child had found a mountain of candy under the bed. It was even possible to see that he had sprouted the dog ears and tail wagging in delight, but it was all in the imagination in the end. "Sweet!" He has the big toothed grin that had been said by many at the power plant as infectious. He was a natural in brightening things up and that also included his line of work mostly.
"Show me the way, where I can find him!? He'll be my big brother soon!" He was also blissfully confident, not in a bad way though. This is how Jerry is. "Did you hear that Char?" He looked back at the old man with a gentle smile. It was really amazing how easy it was for him to have such emotions and expressions, even if it was but a mirror illusion. "You better get well soon! I'll make you one of my groomsmen!" He gave a hearty chuckle before leaning towards Perrine and whispered something into her ear.
"How is he really, Doc?" His words reflected serious concern, but at hushed tone to avoid being heard by anyone else. Those eyes of his looked at hers. She did say that he shouldn't concern himself, but he was not blind, and there was nothing wrong playing this role, just a little bit further, because right now, he was extracting certain things he wanted to have.
