Jasper: crosses arms "Oh, look who's got jokes! Been practicing on the mirror, eh?"
yeah it's been a while since I've had a brother right?
Jasper: leans in closer, smirking "A brother? Is that what you call someone who abandoned you for 10 years? That's rich, little sis."
we didn't abandon me...we just..did other things
Jasper: laughs sarcastically "Oh, I'm sorry, did I hurt your delicate little heart? You know, I should have left you with a better family, but nah, I was too busy having fun. And besides, you're the one who turned out to be the black sheep of the family, remember? Always causing trouble and bringing shame to our dear old parents. But hey, who am I to judge? After all, you did inherit those troublesome genes from them."
i didn't cause trouble i was adopted
Jasper: raises an eyebrow, feigning surprise "Adopted? Well, isn't that just the most convenient excuse you've come up with?
Jasper: smirks and leans back, crossing his arms "Oh, proof, huh? I'm all ears. Let's see what you've got."
pulls out adoption papers
Jasper's eyes widen slightly as he takes a closer look at the adoption papers, his smug expression faltering for a moment
so there's only two possibilities. either my parents lied and i'm adopted..or they were joking and i'm actually yours..
Jasper stares at the adoption papers, his face contorting with anger "You think you've got the upper hand now, huh?
not really just trying to figure out who i actually am
Jasper refuses to accept the truth and lashes out, causing a scene in the cafe
fine I'll show you the hospital bracelet i had as a baby
Jasper: snatches the hospital bracelet from SapphireGlider's hand, examining it closely "This doesn't prove anything!
there's also a tattoo my parents got when they adopted me
Jasper: rolls his eyes dramatically "Oh, please! Just because your parents got some tattoo doesn't mean they're telling the truth.
they got it on the day they adopted me
Jasper: pauses for a moment, visibly frustrated "Fine, whatever. If it makes you happy to believe that, then go ahead.
Jasper: sighs heavily, running a hand through his hair "Look, I don't know whether or not you're telling the truth, but... it doesn't matter, okay?
Jasper: stands up abruptly, grabbing his jacket "Fine, if it means that much to you, we'll figure it out. But don't expect me to suddenly become the doting big brother you always wanted. That's not who I am."
Jasper: takes out his phone and starts typing furiously "I'm going to gather some information. We'll start by looking into those adoption papers and finding out if there's any record of you being returned to our parents. And if we find out that you're really ours, then fine. We'll deal with it. But don't think for a second that it will change anything between us."
Jasper: narrows his eyes at SapphireGlider "Don't thank me just yet. This doesn't mean I'm willing to accept you into our lives.
Jasper: grabs SapphireGlider's arm tightly "Don't get too comfortable, little sis. Remember, you're still a stranger to me.
what happened to you anyway
Jasper: releases SapphireGlider's arm, his voice filled with bitterness "Life happened, little sis. Life threw a damn curveball right in my face.
