Easy and perfect. Two words they didn't see a lot of these days.
Jake climbs down, freshly scrubbed dry with a towel and already warming up pleasantly. There were some aches and pains that a couple hours in an ice bath couldn't entirely soothe away, but certain amount of perpetual low level pain was par for the course for him since he turned 30. Or, jeez, 40. Who was keeping track?
The smell of nearly scalded milk hit his nostrils first, covertly turning the burner to low as he passed. Finn still seemed absolutely brimming with beans, chatting animatedly with BMO through the fight. Jake was able to pick up plenty from his third hand eavesdropping. Finn had hooked up with Huntress Wizard (Jake knew he liked her) and worked out a way to trick his own guilt into working for him instead of against him.
It was a sort of genius plan, one that Jake wasn't sure he'd ever come up with. Pride burned a little hotter inside his chest as he mixed up the cocoa, adding a pinch of salt to each mug before pushing Finn's across the table towards him. Settling in with his own mug, Jake leaned against his palm and smiled at the kid (man) sitting across from him.
"Pretty good day, huh?" He held up his mug, as if toasting.
