"I only mean it in the most loving and friendly manner." Ty said cheerfully, unrepentant, but he was glad that Jake seemed fine with his sense of humor, which could definitely wander into shit talking territory. It had been that or be completely demolished by Delilah and Kira on a daily basis, not that it had always helped, but he could at least defend himself.

"You are correct." Ty said, almost apologetically. "But that's because I'm very good at running quickly." Not that he had really ever been in danger of being beaten up, outside of training. Being nice worked on most people, and money worked on the rest.

"But if you find out how to get your stove working, you better not keep it to yourself." Ty said, nudging their shoulders together, gently. "I'm already dreading how cold it's going to get, so a stove would do wonders."

He didn't know whether it was comforting or not that Jake didn't find anyone untrustworthy here, considering he had walked into Ty's house without a second thought. But his experience had been similar, so he couldn't judge too harshly. Except for- "Guy with horns? I haven't seen him." Which seemed ridiculous if his horns were really that wide.
