Joliette shook her head "No, he's presumed dead, that his plane went down, it was in the press that he was searched for and wasn't found... He's actually the reason I came to this area, I heard rumors that the disappearances in this area were not what they were chalked up to be..." she sighed "I should have stayed home, I should have ignored hte rumors" she berated herself

Chubbs put his fork down, immediately trying to comfort Joliette anyway he could. He reached over the table and patted her hand gently and smiled.
" Well.. ah.. if you hadn't I ah well wouldn't have the best well... neighbour in the world"
He blushed a bit and looked elsewhere, trying to hide it

Joliette looked at Chubbs and gave him a smile. "Thanks Chubbs" she said softly putting her other hand atop his "I appreciate you helping me feel better about it. You are a wonderful neighbour too" she saw his blush that he tried to hide, it did nothing but make her smile, and she didn't comment on it

Chubbs blushed even more, almost making him hide under his T-shirt. In situations like this he used humour to calm himself down some. He smiled back though, wasn't often he got many compliments, or had a girl hold his hand, but it seemed here that he was liked, and he wondered if being here was his destiny, and that the people here needed him.
" aww.. geez.. you'll get sick of me soon enough... bears probably snore.. I bet you'll be beating me with a broom handle at three am.. too ah.. be quiet"

Joliette giggled "Hard to say Chubbs... I could wind up being nocturnal, who knows, I haven't had the courage to ask, besides the fact I do not want to risk getting the git on the com again" she had yet to move her hand off of hte 'pile' of hands or off his for that matter.

Chubbs layed his hand on top of the pile, made it feel complete some how. He was still blushing lightly and still wondering what Joliette might be.
" Well mines.. umm.. fixed now.. so ah.. if ya need anything... you can umm.. well ask me"

"As much as I appreciate it, I don't think I could or rather would want to know, I'm afraid to find out. Something in my heart tells me I won't like what it is, I got the impression the git didn't like several aspects about me, that alone came across in his voice" she said "I wish I had your courage to know"

Chubbs sighed a big, but tried to keep his smile. He didn't want a downed mood because of him.
" Actually, I don't, umm well think.. it was courage..., it was more... ah.. well that I was pissed at how.. well how they ah hurt people... and I wanted to know.. if... if I'd to be a pig... so i could ah.. dump it all at them at once"

Joliette chuckled "Well, I'm glad they were sensible enough not to do that to you, not sure if you like what you did get much more... but it's better then that" she smiled softly "Thats one thing I admire about you... you care about others. About what happens to them, and things like that."

Chubbs felt a bit shy at that, feeling like a big care bear. He'd had a theory about himself, something that he thought might explain himself, and he thought Joliette would understand.
" I ah well.. I like to.. I feel that if people are happy, it infects.. and well then I'm happy. I kinda like to be well... like a big brother... like a.. well, protector. What I mean to umm say is. I feel I have a purpose then... umm like I'm worth something... and ah.. it almost feels as I'm destined to do that"
Chubbs took a breath and kept his smile while continuing
" You umm ever seen the movie Unbreakable?... the umm one with Bruce Willis. Well I liked it.. cuz I felt I related to it. Umm remember how.. he didn't feel right... cuz well he felt empty until he ah.. saved them kids...well.. I kinda feel that way when I can't help people out"

"You dont have to have a purpose to be worth something Chubbs, you have a goal in your life thats one thing... but... you are worth lots, even without being a protector" she nodded to herself "I can't say I ever watched that movie, I didn't do much of that kinda thing on the mainland" she blushed ever so slightly "kept myself... busy... with work"

Chubbs blinked and went wide eyed.
" Never seen it?!, you ah need to stay in more... wait... that's it, this calls for ah.. well an emergency umm.. movie showing"
With that, Chubbs got up from his table, moved around to Joliette side and lifted her up into the scoop of his arm.
" Time for you.. to see what ah.... you missed out on"
With that he carried her towards the door

Joliette laughed barely grabbing her photos in time to be lifted up "All right a movie it is then" she giggled letting him carry her off

~Later~
Joliette watched the ending credits for a while, it was an intersting movie, she could see why he liked it "Not bad at all" she said looking up at him

Chubbs popped the last bit of popcorn in his mouth and tossed the empty microwave packet into the bin like an NBA player taking a foul shot. He looked down at Joliette and blinked.
" Not bad?.. aww common it umm, was a bit better than that ah yeah?"
