[He chuckles]

Yeah, we'll see about that. I've heard another gay musician is running Hell these days anyway, so I'm not too worried about how it ends up.

[He says jokingly. This is really nice, getting to relax like this with Jusis. He really needed this. ]

Yeah, I'd say that was lucky you had him ... [Not all uncles were net positives, he thinks to himself. But...yeah. Probably best to leave that can of worms for another time.]

Does your uncle still run a restaurant?

[noblerise]

Heh, if that's also on the table, then I'll definitely be drinking champagne down there. I'll make sure to visit you if we happen to be in different circles.

[He's certainly happy to trade jokes like this. This has been missing from his life, and he's glad to have found it.

Sometimes, blood relations aren't the positive people hope for. Jusis knows that well enough.]

He does, as it happens. Mother had to talk him down from moving locations when my father collected us, though. We did take the time to visit him whenever we could, but that's gotten harder since she and I moved to the States. The best I've been able to do is call him once a week.

[There's a hint of fondness in his tone. Clearly, Jusis's uncle is still a positive influence in his life.]

Do you still have a sister who plays music?
