Jason stops and turns, the movement causing Piper to chirp and flutter up into the air off of his shoulder. He recognizes the voice easily enough, the familiar excitement in her voice is hard to forget.

"Hey Imogen," Jason replies, finding himself smiling a little. It was perhaps a little bigger than his usual one, but could he help it if he was excited for this step in his life. "I'm heading for my first day as a Ranger. I guess mom hasn't told many people yet."

He looks down at the Umbreon, "Is this Brighteyes? When did this happen?" He hopes it's been recent and he hasn't missed out on that much information.
