well, i still haven't gotten finn a present. the party kinda counts, but i usually like to go a bit bigger. he really seemed to like your painting, so i was wondering if you could do another one. but instead of it being from you, it's from me :P
doesn't gotta be nothing fancy or anything, just the two of us oughta do it. a little bro-portrait. brotrait? (is that anything?)
hmm i don't need references for you or finn [ make of that what you will, jake ] but what about your home? think you can describe it for me well enough?
[ he's not gonna touch the fee thing yet. technically, he already did :') ]
[ he means that affectionately, of course. finn (and jake, by extension) have a sort of whimsy about him that living in a treehouse just seems right for him. ]
if you think that's something he'll like, i can do my best to capture it
[ Jake can't help smiling at that. It does make sense. If Iris means it as an insult, which he very much doubts, at least it would be an accurate one. ]
our house is sorta built into this old willow. it's three stories, we've got all sorts of systems going to make it livable. the specifics don't matter really, as long as you get the vibe of the tree.
huge thing, been around for hundreds of years easy. it doesn't bloom very often, but sometimes in spring it gets these pink flowers all over. Finn loved 'em.
heh. i mean, the tree was so thick it kept the rain out and everything, but I suppose yeah. he's lived most of his life technically "outside", I guess.
[ Weird to think about. Not bad weird, just... weird. About as weird as not living outside felt, here on the ship. ]
is how you grew up why you don't like the outdoors?

i've got some pics of finn and me if you need references. just tell me what you need to get started. oh, and your fee.

you mean back home in general or like...our house?
actually, yeah. our house. i think that would mean a lot to finn. did he tell you we lived in a tree?

[ greenery in the tower was at a premium low, but trees were basically unheard of there. ]
that sounds really nice though
cozy
that must be why he likes the outdoors so much

[ he means it both literally and figuratively. a lot has happened since he left the tower, but despite it all... he wouldn't ever go back. ]
i just don't like climbing every inch of it
[ unlike some people... ]
