Focus on now.

Moonjumper pushed his thoughts aside. MJ followed Snatcher’s gaze, still remaining silent. Hmm.. MJ thought to himself, looking at Snatcher’s shaking hand. His gaze examined Snatcher, how he’d flinch almost constantly, how tired he looked. He “How long has it been since you last slept?” He asked, trying to remain friendly. He looked as if slightly concerned, which was normal for MJ when somebody was going through something.

Maybe he called me because he needed me to help him sleep? Moonjumper guessed inside his head, though he doubted it as soon as the thought came up. Snatcher would never ask for help sleeping. At least he thought. MJ wasn’t exactly sure. Maybe Snacthee asked Hat Kid or Bow Kid? Maybe…. But he mentally shrugged the thought off.

Looking at Snatcher, seeing how hopeless he looked right now in this moment, as if the once passionate fire inside him was dimmed, or completely gone. It made MJ feel empathetic, more so than usual.

Snatcher looked up when MJ spoke, but his reaction was slow. "Huh?" It took a beat for him to process the question, and when he did, his brow furrowed. "Oh, uh... I dunno," he said truthfully. Moonjumper's obvious concern annoyed him. Why did he care so much about Snatcher? Why did he need to be his friend?

Maybe...maybe it was... No. No, he wasn't ready to think about that. About anything even related to that. So he ignored it, for now. He watched MJ think, wondering what in the hell could be going on in his head right now. Probably stupid things. Hah. Moonjumper was stupid. (Was he?)
