"Ahh." Jeff lifts his eyebrows a little, though not surprised Eric was going to teach Ashley. His brother seemed to have taken a liking to the girl and she him for some reason or other. Maybe it helped Eric have a reason to stick around though.
Being asked about himself, Jeff can't help but laugh. "Staying out of everyone's hair is my goal most days, though I'm not sure how good at it I've gotten." His eyes twinkle with humor before he shakes his head. "Nah, I try to do my share around the barn and pull my load, but I can't do as much as I used to. The Agency saw to that."
The twinkle of humor was quickly replaced by a dimmer look... one that was maybe a little sad but resigned. "They messed me up pretty good but at least I'm still alive and walking. Now I just try to do as much as I can to help around here. And any free time... well, I guess I've discovered the beauty of just sitting quietly and observing the world around me."
