[Of course he had grandma but considering the Batterwitch's schemes and his grandma's heroic efforts to stop her, well, she sometimes didn't have time for him. That was okay. He was always proud of her. A legendary witch who spit in the face of true evil, who did her best to fight her before anyone else had started to, who died because of her even after taking Jake far away to try to protect them.
And having a hero to look up to was wonderful and terrifying and lonely. He loved her so much but so many memories blurred and faded over time until they were no better than dreams leaking out of his cupped hands. Her face, her voice, her laugh. But Jade, Jade is solid. She has a beautiful smile. Her voice reminds him of his favourite movies from childhood, not anything specific but that feeling of nostalgia and warm sunny days. She's here and hugging him and she's a hero, too, just like her friends, heroes that they waited for on hopeless days, but he thinks she can be more than a hero to him.]
So! Family, huh. I guess... we have a frightful amount of Christmases and birthdays to catch up on.
