everything about the lake house was peaceful, they didn't have neighbors, it was far enough from the road that he never heard traffic but close enough that he could head into town without taking three hours out of his day. he could perch peacefully on the edge of his private dock, feet in the water, fishing calmly with only the nature sounds filling in the background. it was peaceful, it was serene, it was not reality. "what the fuck is wrong with you. i actually want to know, were you dropped on your head? were you deprived oxygen? how the fuck did you end up like this?" he could feel his blood pressure rising as he hunted for something, anything that was going to help the current situation. "drop the fucking fish!" despite being beyond tangled beyond reason in fishing line jax was somehow keeping himself above water while clutching onto the fish he'd just caught. caught was generous considering all he could really claim was that it had bitten his hook, jax had lept into after it before he'd reeled it in, the current situation had come to be sometime between the initial fish bite and well... now. "julian come get your fucking dog! he's about to drown."
