Suru sat down on the couch, his head down and his elbows resting on his knees. He was quiet for a minute, then sighed.
"Sit down, you're making me nervous."
Ophelia smiled and took a peach out for herself and took a bite, chewing and swlallowing before she spoke.
"So you're Tempest's sister. I think I've seen her around, but not for a long time. Any other relatives?"

Jak sat down, eyeing Suru with a wary, suspicious look.
"Now what?"

He was quiet again, for a long time, before murmuring, sftly,
"I don't like being in this position. I don't like being attatched to people like this. I mean, I do, but I don't."
He looked up at Jak for a minute, with a searching expression, blushing a little, the flush creeping up his neck as before.
"I don't want to hurt you or Lucy. I was an intruder. I haven't . . . got a place with you two. Either of you."

Jak sighed deeply, his expression as he looked back at Suru tortured.
"I cant bear to see her hurting like this. I dont know how to make it better...."

Saber took the apple she had held out and took a bite of it. He made a 'mmm' noise as he chewed, not having had an apple in so long. "Yeah. I'm her brother. And no...no other family. She's all I got...which is why I came here." He decided not to go into more detail than that. "'Course...she's also got Div, Marie, Rohan, and all the others. I haven't really made friends with any of them..." He took another bite and chewed slowly.

He looked back at him, a little haunted, eyes scanning his face.
"She wants to be taken care of, but she wants to take care. She wants to be yours, but she wants you to be hers. Do what's against your nature to do."
He met Jak's eyes and looked back down at his hands the next minute, blush brightening.
"Treat her like the precious thing she is, and not like a peice of a**, bro. That's all it takes."
Phelia stiffened a little and tilted her head back to look at him, thinking of the boy she'd veritably rescued from that creep Jerod, at the party before just she left.
"Did you say Rohan?"

Tilting his head slightly, Saber looked at her. "Yeah. The elf guy. We live in the same place." He shifted slightly, suddenly feeling odd. He had noticed her stiffen at the name and began to wonder what her relationship with Rohan was or had been. "Why do you ask?"

"I think maybe its not me she wants anymore...and I'll get out if thats what she wants. I never meant to hurt her...I was trying to keep my distance...it just didnt work out that way."

Ophelia shook her head lightly, trying to clear it.
"How has he been? The last time I saw him was at a party, he was totally trashed. I think his date drugged him or something, becuase I had to carry him home, he could barely stand up. He . . . . "
She blushed softly, looking up at Saber and smiled warmly.
"He was my first friend when we came here. Well, first real one."
Suru shook his head decisively and stood up, biting his lip and fists clenched, so tightly he trembeled.
"No. She does still have feelings for you. She does."
He sighed and closed his eyes, tightly, his voice sounding rough with . . . tears?
"This isn't a suggestion, Jakkin."

Jak's voice trembled, his throat raw.
"How can she forgive me? I was an idiot and a fool...and I saw the way she looked at you...how can I win her back now, after all thats happened?"

With random thoughts slipping through his mind, Saber rubbed his head. "Ah..well..from what Temp's told me..he's been himself. Said he's got a girlfriend and is trying to look after the drow...had her heart broken or something." He finished off the apple but held onto the core, unsure of what to do with it. "Can't imagine the elf guy drugged up on something, though." When she mention Rohan being her first friend, he thought of her being his first. He wondered if it meant anything. "So...you two were just friends?"

Suru laughed, sharply, coldly.
"She'll find a way. She has a big heart. And you're . . . ."
His voice broke, and he blushed again, winting to bite through his tongue, his last words coming out in a whisper.
" . . . you're easy to love, Jak."

Sunray Tristram With random thoughts slipping through his mind, Saber rubbed his head. "Ah..well..from what Temp's told me..he's been himself.

"So...you two were just friends?"
"Yes, just friends. I had a little bit of a crush on him, for a while, I think, but he was too . . . delicate. He's more like a little brother type."
She set her peach pit on the ground and rolled it under her fingertips, lazily.
"I don't like to have to be the strong one. I'm used to . . . domineering types, so to speak. Tough guys."
She grinned sheepishly.
"I guess that' sort of stupid."

Jak dropped his head to his hands, agony in his voice.
"Maybe she could have...until I messed up....now she hurting and confused. She doesnt want to give up what she sees in you...maybe she doesnt need to..."

Something inside him uncoiled. "Ah...yeah. I could understand that." He fiddled with the apple core a little more, casually glancing up when she mentioned a tough guy. "So...you know the type you want. There must be plenty of guys that fit that. They must be all over you..." He had turned his head away before completing that statement...then he felt stupid for saying it outloud.
