"It was only a dream." They both knew that wasn't entirely true but maybe for a few hours, it could be. He let her go and took a small step back. "And it does not define your day. Our dreams can be the ugly parts of us. What we do when we're awake is what makes us beautiful.".
the warmth of his hand to her small shoulder eased any tension she held in them, emeralds trailing up to his own eyes as she gave a weak smile. Waylon was always such a kind man, even if he couldnโt find words he always showed it โ slowly, leaning into his touch.

"Funny." He exhaled. "I had somethin' very similar to say to you. I know the lot of you mean a good deal to Roy. You're his family. That means you all mean somethin' to me, even if we find ourselves on opposite sides more often than not. You ever need anything, let me know.".

He reached a cautious hand for June's shoulder. To remind her of how strong she was, of how firmly she still stood despite her hardships; or to welcome her into a quick embrace, to show that she was not aloneโit was hard to know which she needed. Waylon hardly ever knew himself.
As much as she wanted to say yes, she couldnโt lie to Waylon. It was the same โ same as it always felt when she dropped . when her spine nearly shattered on the way down, the feeling of hands clawing and suffocating her down at the bottom of that hole . .

Another somber bow of his headโJones wished he could change things for June. She did not deserve her torment. Although, oftentimes when he thought about it, Waylon didn't imagine any of them were entirely deserving of their punishment. "Did it feel any different this time?".
โ โฆ only if it wouldnโt be too much of a bore for you โ, โ. A small chuff, though it wasnโt something she hadnโt done before ;. She still remembered the time they were only a cell-wall apart. Even in the cold trenches of those concrete walls, her solace was solely held . .

His nod of acknowledgment was tragically small for a man of Waylon's stature. He exhaled sharply. Shoulders dropped like shuddering mountains. June was far more understanding than Waylon could allow himself to be. "D'you want to talk about it?".
she knew he meant well with the question, a slow nod as she reached to gently place a hand over his scaley own. โ Donโt apologize, youโve known me long enough to know those are pretty common with me . โ. โ Butโฆ yeahโ just one, then I just couldnโt go back to sleep after. โ.

He asked without thinking. "Dreams again?". Then Jones immediately twisted his face like a screw. He knew not to pry, not to dig. He shook his head. "Sorry, June. None of my business.".
โ mhm โ about three or so hours , โ. and it showed, at least the dark circles under her eyes showed it โ yet seeing him again gave her a second wind for the morning .

"Always does." He grumbled. "Yeah, I slept a bit. What about you?".

He knew her tooโthe introduction was nice. Apparently it took an alien to treat him like a ๐ฉ๐ถ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ. Waylon soon extended an open palm to invite Starfire's own. "Waylon Jones," he growled. His jaw fluttered behind clenched teeth. "It's good to meet you, Koriand'r.".
ใ
ค. โ of course. โ features shift into a beam as her friendsโ name is mentioned, curls bouncing with a nod. โ i am .แ koriandโr of tamaran, better known as starfire here on earth. it is a pleasure to meet you . แฃ โ. ใ

"Oh." His eyes trembled and his scowl relaxed. Jones didn't have a lot of experience with compliments, let alone the sort that came from ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ค๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต people. "That'sโthat's very kind of you." He huffed. "You're friends with Roy, aren't you?".
ใ
ค. โ I truly meant it, โ offering a faint smile to the other, finally letting visage trail away from him, but only momentarily. โ I do suppose my standards of beauty differ when I am from outer space and one might think I am lying,. ใ

She was a beautiful, bright-eyed, ๐ค๐ณ๐ถ๐ฆ๐ญ little thing, wasn't she? Waylon frowned. "That your idea of a joke?".

Waylon smiled. He hoped Roy remembered the rest of that conversation too. "It's only a matter of time." He nodded. "What about you? Justice League roped you into any stupid adventures lately?".

Waylon caught the chalk and dropped to one knee. On the ground between them, he drew a circle large enough for either man to stand in. "We each put a foot in and give each other our best hit. I slip outside the circle first, I tell you everything. You slip first, you turn back.".
An annoyed expression underneath the threatening cowl as if her were annoyed by the question. A piece of chalk flicked towards the reptile of a man. Though Waylon seemed hostile, he was one of the rogues he had hopes of rehabilitation for. Despite the reptile get up.

"Housing," he answered dully and took a sip from the edge of his mug. Jones was embarrassed to answer but knew better than to keep secrets from June. "There's an abandoned subway platform in the city. I've been cleanin' it up, lettin' anyone who needs it lay their head there.".
โ For the most part ; Iโm being considered for a promotion at my job. โ. It was something sheโd been slowly trying to crawl her way back to ever sinceโฆ. well โ,. โ but, enough about me ;. What sort of โbusyโ have you been keeping yourself up with ? โ.
