[Yeah, a topic change is a good idea. Jason already has a couple of regrets for saying as much as he has. Jon doesn't need his bullshit. Kids should be allowed to be kids, and this place makes it hard enough as it is.]
Yeah ... a walk sounds good. You got leashes for 'em all?
( it's easy to swing himself back up onto his feet, rocking forward on the balls of his feet before taking off towards the open closet. he swings the door the rest of the way open, pulls off a pile of leashes from where they're hanging on the inside of the door. )
We can walk them around the horse stables, they like that.
( which he demonstrates, lips pursing tight and making an obnoxiously loud, high-pitched sound through them. all the dogs immediately sit in response. except for the mastiff. )
They're color coded to their collars, but it doesn't really matter too much. ( jason notice an array of justice league-themed leashes and collars; the mastiff, in example, has a nice, green leash to match his green collar, brucie has a yellow and black leash to match his collar, clarkie has blue and red, lo has blue and purple. . )
[Jason makes his way over to the collection of leashes and grabs a handful, starts sorting and attaching them according to collars. He doesn't speak while he works, but Jon will probably notice him carefully petting each of the dogs on the head or scratching them gently behind the ears.]

They all know how to sit when you tell 'em to?

They're very good dogs. [Except maybe the mastiff.] All right, which leash goes with which dog, or does it matter?
