"It can be, but it can also be lonely...once you make a friend...then you have to leave..." Justin gave Tasha an apologetic look. Wow, that sounded rough. He hadn't thought about that side of the coin at all. Then again, he hadn't really realized she'd moved around more than the once to here. This kind of implied it was possible she'd moved more than once. He wondered what her parents worked as. If she moved more than once, it had to be jobs, right? She only confirmed it, though he was halfway distracted by her question about Summer. Summer...his girlfriend? He burst out laughing again. She seemed to have that affect on him today. This was, what, the second time he had burst out laughing in front of her? Oh, she was really going to doubt he was joking about being insane now.
"Sorry," he stated after a couple moments. "It's just...Summer's my cousin, and well, if I had a knut for every time someone's tried to say me and a cousin were together....well, I'd be bloody rich!" He grinned and shook his head. "Of course, usually it's Panda--err, Pandora--and me people think for some strange reason. Up until recently, really." He shrugged it off, trying to will himself not to think of that very awkward moment in which his cousin had expressed interests he did not reciprocate. "But erm, to answer your question, I'm not sure if I have a girlfriend...." He sighed, scratching an itch just beneath his left eyebrow with his left pointer finger. "It's a bit complicated, really..." He shrugged, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
