I like the sound of that, then. No one should miss out on having a bit of fun.
[ Plus, he just generally likes Jane as she is. Even if she's considered odd, he thinks he maybe wouldn't like her as much as she does if she were exactly as it is expected her to be. Even at his age, he's still figuring out how to not care what people think of him. He just really wants to be liked. ]
I think it's good to not care. And I think you're great as you are.
[ He pauses, comfortable here with her. He's starting to feel very... relaxed. ]

[ And to be honest - Jane stands out even more because Hypnos isn't simply seeing her as someone he's fond of. He is interested in her romantically. He likes her, he's attracted to her. It's an entirely different and new thing. And he's glad to be experiencing it for the first time in quite awhile. And it's nice to actually have it seem like it's returned. ]
I think...it's great that you know what's important to you.
