Deep in his own thoughts -- so deep not even Jake seemed to be getting to them, which suited Jermaine just fine -- it takes him a moment to respond to Finn. His brother could've been a thousand miles away for all Jermaine had room for him just now. The day was so long already and this adventure felt unending.
"Yo, earth to Jermaine? Finn's trying to show you something!"
"Oh--" Jermaine jerked up. For a moment, it felt like Jake was right there next to him. His eyes fell on the statue as Finn crawled back out of the tent, drawn immediately to the metallic glint. A golden statue of Finn, huh? Real subtle, Jake...
"Can I see?" He asks, stepping forward with an offered hand to help Finn up. "You look good cast in gold, bro."
The camaraderie felt forced. Everything felt forced right about now. But what else was their family good at, if not faking it 'til they made it?
