Does Jake go to the gym? Do any rescues go with him? I like the idea of Raf maybe going to get stronger and make his body look how HE wants but idk
He does! Going to the gym is actually the like, one thing Jake does entirely for himself and he goes alone. It gives him time to think and a private hobby that isn't entirely centered around the runaways he has otherwise dedicated his life to.
As far as Raf goes... I think the conditioning to keep himself lithe and willowy and delicate-looking is going to take a long, long time to discard. Looking flexible and eager and pretty is the center of his entire being. I can see him being jealous of Chris's variety of hair colors and how Kauri wears dirtied, beaten up clothes and shoes now, but not knowing how to even begin feeling safe or secure pursuing any changes for himself.
