Doubt certainly wasn't good. It ate away at you, it ruined you, and Jamie was doing his best to rid himself of it. Such a slow, difficult process.
There were still things in life that made him happy, though, uplifted him beyond worries and doubt. Some of those things were animals. Fish were at the top of the list, but since meeting babies like Bergie and Millie, he'd grown a new fondness for cats, as well.
"I haven't," he said, eyes widening. "I want to!" He met Alg half-scoot and leaned over to see. Like flipping a switch, his eyes shimmered with excitement and the faintest poke of white snowdrops began to bloom in stark contrast to the color of his hair.
"Violetta... she's so cute..."

The blossoms were definitely a good sign, but even without them it would be easy to see the wonder on Jamie's face. So many things about Other Ashdown had the potential to be frightening, but othercats were so mystifying and lovely with their blooms and their leaves and there went his own buds, now a full halo ringing his head.
"I love the pictures of them sleeping together..." he said with a smile. "Fish don't really cuddle, but, um, I used to have a fish who would swim up and rub against your hand. I'm kinda sorta trying to get a new one to do it, too." It was a silly little revelation, but Jamie looked proud of it. For as much as Violetta and Hellbine were Algernon and Jeremiah's children, Jamie's fish were the same to him.
