Didn't want him to be worried? Jake can't quite help it, he laughs -- thin, reedy, and kind of tired, but a laugh all the same.
"Uh, look. Not to blow your mind or anything, but I think that ship has sailed." He turns again, eyes finding Finn's as his pace slows. "We're family, buddy. You've got some big stuff going on with you, of course I'm gonna be worried. It's not your job to protect me from that."
He chews the inside of his cheek, their pace slowing further until the stillness of the night suddenly stood motionless all around them. Jake's face was now twisted to face Finn completely, the two of them standing still in the middle of a birch forest. The trees were tall here, skimming Jake's underbelly.
"If I ever made you feel like it was your job, then that sucks and I hate it." His eyes softened, Jermaine's words still bouncing round his head unpleasantly. "Kinda a dillweed move."
