Ever since returning home, JD felt like he was in some odd world where he didn’t quite fit anymore. His hearing had gotten a decent bit worse throughout the tour and while he was getting fitted for hearing aids and more tests were being run- the entire thing was beyond his control. Though he’d been around his dad and sister his entire life, having it suddenly endangering everything he’d worked for was a hard pill to swallow. He had to admit, since his return home he’d almost avoided his dad and Cora some. Facing the whole thing, facing them especially and the rest of his family- letting the truth come out about the grave reality of his entire situation.. He was scared shitless. Not just of what was happening, but how they’d take it. Cora, predictably, was at the studio dancing on a day where he’d stopped working on some solo music til his fingers ached. Going to her was a spur of the moment decision, but he knew he needed to. They’d been so close, all the family had minus their Mom when she was in one of her moods, but the siblings especially. He needed to clear the air, to be honest and make things right with his little sister. ‘don’t stop on my account.’ he signed back fluidly with a grin, albeit a tired one. it was nice, being able to sign at a regular pace instead of the slower one he’d been having to use for the past few months as he helped Tori learn and adjust. She’d get to the pace his family used with practice, but he knew it would take time. ‘figured i’d stop by, see if you wanted to get lunch or just coffee, if you’re not feeling it.’
coralynn was very visibly surprised at the sight of her brother in the doorway once it finally registered who it was. she hadn’t seen him much since he had gotten home from his tour, but she generally put it off to him needing to readjust to being back in lima after a three month span away. ‘i wouldn’t have if i realized it was you.’ she teased, jutting her tongue out with giggle. the brunette turned away quickly only to grab her water bottle, tipping it up to take a drink as she looked back to him, ‘either sounds good. the lima bean? they have sandwiches and all that there, so both would be covered. plus, i haven’t stopped in to teach them their word of the day yet.’ coralynn grinned, shrugging her shoulders.
