Her expression and the look in her eyes made his heart twist. The girl was effecting him more than any other girl had. "No...I'm not...I would never hurt a girl..." He swallowed again and shook himself mentally before looking back into her eyes. "Opheliah...I..you.." His voice drifted off. He didn't know what he was trying to say...but he wanted so bad to take away all her pain.

Her eyes widened and she wrapped up, tighter, in her blanket, watcing him.
"Juh-juh-jak Wha thappened? Wuh-where's S-s-suru?"
She stuttered, roughly, trying to get her breathing under control again aget the crying fit.

Sunray Tristram Her expression and the look in her eyes made his heart twist. The girl was effecting him more than any other girl had. "No...I'm not...I would never hurt a girl..." He swallowed again and shook himself mentally before looking back into her eyes. "Opheliah...I..you.." His voice drifted off. He didn't know what he was trying to say...but he wanted so bad to take away all her pain.
"I know you wouldn't. You're . . . . you're a good person, Saber. I mean, I can tell. It's this thing mum called aura reading, where I just know things about people. We're all sort of psychics a little. Canti knows secrets people keep, and Suru can read tarot. I know things about how people are, about their personalities."
She looked up at him and smiled, brokenly, but genuinly.
"I know you'd never do that."

Jak groaned, his voice tortured as he answered.
"He ran of into the woods....I dont think you need to worry about him coming back tonight."
Po stared at his brother, then stood up to pull Canti protectivly into his arms.
"What happened out there? Whats going on?"

Canti stood a little stiffly, just slightly resisting being held for the moment. Right now, it seemed like she needed to hold someone instead, if he'd take it.
"Jak, are you all right?"
She'd heard at least a little of the yelling, and got the gist of what was going on. If she'd had any clue about Suru, she would have said. But his feelings about Jak had come as a complete surprise.

Saber smiled back to her, not fully but close enough. He hadn't smiled fully since he was a kid. "I'm glad you think that way..." He shifted a little, again trying to collect his thoughts. "If I were...involved with you...I would protect you and make sure you never cried again..." He had meant to say 'with a girl' but it came out being directed at her.
((I need to get going. I have an early class tomorrow. gonk I'll reply tomorrow. 'Night you two. heart ))

((Night, Sunneh. ::luff: smile )
Her eyes widened a little, and she tilted her head, swallowing heavily. Rohan flashed into her mind for a second, then Liam, then, of course, Lucius. All faded and fell away within a second.
"Involved . . . . with me?"
Her expression was surprised, bewildered, but not displeased in the least.

Jak shook his head, his voice trembling.
""I didnt...I never expected....he never gave me any indication...and Laci showed up in the middle of it all...."
Po looked at his two loved ones, his mind confused. He went to Canti's dresser, pulling out a top and pulled it over her head, taking the blanket to cover her while she pulled the shirt down.

She shook her hair down around her shoulders and pulled it down, straightening it, then, reached out and hugged Jak, tightly, hoping he'd let her.
"Hush. Hush, it's okay, Jak. Suru . . . no one ever knows what's really going on in his head unless he gets angry, like that."
She looked over his shoulder at Po, mouthing, quietly, 'Make him rest'.

Jak wrapped his arms around her, his hands trembling, grateful for the comfort she offered.
"How could I be so blind...so stupid...so wrapped up in myself that I couldnt see??"
Po hunted the room for his socks...digging under the bed to find his missing boot. He watched the other two, a dazed look in his eyes as he started to understand some of what had happened. He pulled on his boots, quietly, aware that something much bigger than He and Canti being caught in a compromising position.

She squeezed him tightly, stroking his hair, comfortingly.
"Shhh, shh, Jak, I'm his sister, and I don't even knw what to make of him themjority of the time. Shhh, it's okay."
She tilted her head and kissed him on the cheek in a sisterly way.
"Let Po take you home, and try to get some sleep. If Suru comes back, I promise, if he doesn't kill me before I can make it to a phone, I'll call you."
She looked up at Po with ears in her eyes, a rabidly worried expression on her face. She stood up taller, supporting the older boy and murmured softly to Po,
"Do you need help getting him home?"

"I can handle it love, will you be ok? If he comes home I mean?"
Po paused, if everything he seemed to be hearing was true, Suru had more on his mind right now than his sister.
"Itll be fine...I'll see you tomorrow angel."
Kissing her softly, he put his arm around his brother's shoulder. He had never seen Jak look so beaten before, in so much pain. He led him out of the room and down the stairs, pusing to look for his shirt.

She followed, plucking his shirt out from behind th back of the couch and, taking Jak back on her shoulder for a second, to slip Po's shirt on for him and kiss him on the mouth.
"I love you, Po."
She turned to Jak and smiled softly.
"And you too, boy-o. I need you to get some rest so I can help ou, if you'll let me."
She bent down and hugged him again, before helping Po, atleast, out the door.
((Mkay, I'm outta here. Ciao.))

"I love you too angel" Kissing her goodnight, he led Jak out the door and down the street.
Jak's hat sat unnoticed on the chair where he had dropped it earlier.

Canti closed the door behind them and sighed, putting her head in her hands. She started back towards her room, and spotted Jak's hat. She picked it up, running her fingertips along the brim, slowly, gingerly. She sighed, dropping it back onto the chair and going up to her room. It was getting late again, and staying up and worrying was going to do no good. She didn't think she could sleep, even in her own bed, but it was always worth a try.
She went up stairs and lay in bed, listening keenly for footsteps of someone returning to the house, ro for the ringing phone. Neither came, and she fell asleep.
