( he doesn't expect the thanks, and doesn't really know what to do with it. stays quiet instead while accelerator pulls away. jason doesn't hold onto him; just lets him go. knows how uncomfortable someone holding onto you can be when it goes on forever, when they don't let go and it ends up feeling more like a trap than something meant to comfort. which is not what he's going for here.

jason's hand raises to ruffle accelerator's hair, gently. takes a step back to give the kid (and himself) space. )

It's fine. ( the death of all those girls isn't. but from accelerator's reaction alone, he knows it wasn't something he'd planned or wanted. jason won't blame him for it. ) You gonna come back with me? Or do you need some time to breathe?

( there's still the party back at his place to get to. one jason'd invited their family to, which he's decided includes ace here. )

[His hair gets ruffled and he doesn't try to move away from it. Jason has done it enough times by this point that, right now, it feels like a reassurance that things are okay with them. And that's a reassurance he could really use right now.

The space gives him some room to breathe and start wrapping his head around the fact that he seriously, seriously just told Jason what he did to the Sisters and the guy didn't completely reject him. It's a lot to take in. He needs some time to process.]

I need some time. Maybe some air.

[He might go be broody on a rooftop with some coffee or something.]

Fair.

( it was a--heavy conversation to have, jason gets it. he's not going to shove accelerator into following him back home, not after that. so he - turns around on his heels, and starts back off towards the door. like a normal person.

stops with his hand on the doorframe so he can tip his head back to look toward ace before he leaves. )

You need anything, you call me. Alright?

[It's kind of weird Jason is choosing to go out the front door rather than the window. He keeps quiet about that, taking a moment to contemplate what Jason says.

He really doesn't want to be a bother, he's used to dealing with things on his own. But after this conversation, knowing that that trust is there....]

... Alright. I will.
