They support you, but don't have the best advice...

Like Uncle Barron said, the triplets were hanging out in the back. Leon was helping Demarcus with his dreads while Jamal was telling them an exaggerated version of his football game that they missed last week. They don't notice you're there until you pick up one of their hackey sacks and throw it at Jamal. He looks up, expecting to see one of their little brothers, but smiles when he sees it's you.

"Victor, my man!" he says, swimming over to wrap you in a hug, "Where have you been? Feels like I haven't seen you in weeks! What, we not good enough for you now?"

You laugh, playfully pushing him away. "You know I've been busy!"

"Yeah, yeah, off exploring the seas without your best friends. You got a boyfriend you don't want us to know about? I promise we won't bite him!"

"Jamal, give the boy some room to breath." Demarcus sighs, swimming over once Leon put his dreads into a ponytail.

"No wonder he don't visit! You always in his personal business as soon as he gets here!" Leon adds before turning his attention back to you, "Good to see you bro! Staying out of trouble?"

"As best I can." you reply, fist bumping Demarcus as you do, "Just needed to come talk to you three. Something came up and, well, I could use some advice..."

The three turn serious in an instant, motioning for you to get settled to tell your story. You get comfy on the edge of one of the seaweed beds and tell them about what happened today at the clinic. Demarcus gives you an understanding look while Leon and Jamal immediately start talking about kicking the ass of anyone who breaks your heart.

"I just don't even know where to start." you admit once they quiet down, "I know I have two years, but that doesn't seem like nearly enough time. You three are a year in, how are you handling it?"

"Poorly, to be honest." Leon admits, looking to his brothers, "My date stood me up again."

"My ex got knocked up by another guy." Jamal admits, "So I've got nothing."

"And these two chase off everyone I meet." Demarcus adds, giving a pissed look at his brothers, "Honestly thinking about just going to a facility and finding a mate later. Or stay single forever."

"Sorry Vic, we aren't much help."
