(Hehe I like nontoxic masculinity Good for Derik; support your niece!!)
"How much do you know about his past, out of curiosity?"

(Me too :’) the more I develop him the more I think he genuinely wants what is best for Jerica and Rek and will support them in whatever endeavor makes them happy. I have an absolutely adorable scene of him coming in clutch for Rek when he comes out as gay in canon)
“…not much,” Jerica admitted. “That… didn’t seem like a kind thing to bring to his memory. I already upset him enough.”

"Probably for the best at the time," Gaius agreed. "But Sera has been a good outlet; she says he's been processing."

He nodded. "It's the happiest I've ever seen Sera."

Jerica smiled a little at that. “That’s cute. She seems…” chill definitely wasn’t the right word. Calm? Gentle, but also not soft? Was there a word for her? “…sensible.”

Gaius smiled slightly. "She certainly is. She's been a fixture here since I was a teenager; she's kept the place afloat for a long time."

“That’s good.” Jerica nodded, sizing him up. “What are you, like, forty?”

Jerica nodded, for once, not having any commentary on that and rather just pleased she was correct.

"I'm surprised you didn't think I was older," he mused. "Most people put me at fifty."

Jerica shrugged. “I’m usually pretty good at estimating age… besides you’d be hella old to have toddlers if you were 50. 40 is already pushing— not that— I didn’t mean—“ there she went, running her mouth again. “The math wouldn’t be math-ing if you were fifty… and you don’t look it, either. Just a skinny stressed 40-year-old.”

Jerica smiled a little. Maybe he didn’t have the biggest stick in the forest up his ass after all.
