The charged up feeling within his blades was almost distracting - it was like they buzzed with excitement as if it were filled with tiny bees. He glanced over at the monster then over at Ariane and instead of answering her concerns right away he lunged forward took the beast out with a well placed pair of daggers right into the midsection. As it snarled and dissipated he kind of shook off his blades as if removing blood.
"...Things happened. I was...Still am pretty torn up about it but dealing better now, thanks," Jude muttered softly.

"I see," She answered, eyeing Jude before pointing out another creature - similar in appearances to the one that Jude had just defeated - that had solidified nearby, "I'm... Glad to hear that...?"
"What sort of things happened?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.

He went to make a hit on the newest abomination and ended up barely tearing into it as it tried to claw after him. Jude pushed it away to let the slower moving beast try and build up momentum to come at him again. The question had caught him a bit off guard for whatever reason. Perhaps he hadn't expected Ariane to go out of her way to care.
{Of courssse she cares, you two have been working together forever,} Yom pointed out helpfully.
Jude uttered a sound, "...Someone...died. She ..never even woke up from the pods."

"Ah, I see... I am sorry to hear that," She answered, and to avoid awkwardness, brought her weapon down on the creature, causing it to lose balance and stumble backwards; while she was sincere, she had been so used to never really letting her "weaker" emotions show that it was almost difficult to concentrate on fighting the ever-spawning creatures, "Was she... Someone special to you, by any chance?"
She recalled a conversation like that in the past. Something about someone in a pod.

He slashed at the creature blindly at this point anger and sadness welling up inside him for a brief moment until Ariane's voice broke through once more but it didn't seem to help matters any at least not at this point. It didn't bring Susannah back from the dead, "Sh...She was my girlfriend."
Jude cleared his throat a little bit, "It...It just wasn't what she was ready to live through...She..."
His shoulders slumped a bit not caring about the monster as it made a slash at him hitting him soundly, "She...Went 'home'."

"Ah... I'm sorry," She didn't know what else to say; she was never good at comforting people. Especially if they weren't the type to just... Get over things and move on. She did end up giving him a pat on his shoulder, putting her hand there and giving it a squeeze, "At least she's home, and you no longer have to wait unhealthily for her..."
When the creature crawled up to attack them once again, she kicked it away, as if to say 'LOOK, READ THE ATMOSPHERE, WE'RE HAVING A MOMENT HERE'.

All he could think to do was utter a clumsy, "Not your fault," because he wasn't sure what else to tell someone after that little confession. It felt unreal even as he said these words out loud to a friend he trusted. It still felt as if any moment now She was going to walk in and help them out with their little issue like she'd woken up in the first place.
Jude turned away from Ariane after she squeezed his shoulder and then kicked the creature. He just needed a minute. A small minute. Recompose and then carry on like he should.

"No, it's alright. I... Actually understand," She admitted with a sigh, ignoring the small ankle biter creature who was bent on destroying their little moment, "Jeremy had an older brother. Three of us, we grew up together, came to the island together. He took care of me like I was family... And then, months before, we found out that he had passed away in his pod. Never woke up. Jeremy took it a lot worse than I did."
She frowned at the creature and attempted to kick it, but she missed, and ended up kicking air, "I just like to believe that he's in a happier place now. People... Pass away. That's how it goes. He decided to come here because he chose to. Nobody forced him. He didn't make it, but I'm sure he didn't regret coming here."

His fingertips gripped at the hilts of his blade as he just simply jabbed one of them into the creature rather forcefully when it came near him as if considering the female to be too much trouble to deal with. Jude had idly been listening to Ariane as she spoke, of course, but at the moment he just furrowed his brow a little bit.
Saying sorry felt a bit too late after all that. He just quietly tilted his blade up to glance at it thoughtfully.
"She followed me here because...I asked her to mostly. She wanted to because...I would be here. I guess I just feel guilty...She just...I guess she is in a better place now...She gets to be with her Father and doesn't have to deal with...other things," he muttered under his breath he was grasping hard to find a way to feel 'okay' about the whole prospect still.

"Let's stop here," She eyed the creature as it dissipated, and slung an arm around Jude's shoulder, leading him away from the building and back to the underground base, "That's enough for today. I think we did enough." Besides, he didn't look like he was in the mood for some 'cleaning up' right now, not when he's the one who needed the 'cleaning up'.
"Shall we go to the meditation room? I don't think Killzone will mind," That's his name right? Killzone? What an odd name, "There are beanbags, I heard."

He didn't reject her contact or pull away maybe because at that point he didn't see any point in doing so or perhaps he was just done with the whole 'clean up' business for now and just let Ariane lead him away as he made quiet shuffling motion toward wherever she was leading him to, "..Beanbags, woo," he said dryly.
No disrespect for Killzone but Jude very much doubted that the beanbags would help him with anything at this point in time.
Then again the last time he went to be 'healed' by Killzone in any capacity he walked away thinking he was a princess of Dolphins for a day and then spent a while after that staring at the ocean with longing (and he sometimes still did, damn it).

Thankfully, Ariane had no experience with Killzone, and she liked beanbags; they were all soft and... Beanbag-ly. You could sink into one and simply sleep your day away.
"Here we go," It took a while to walk all the way back, and find their way to the cove that was now Killzone's meditation room, but she had to admit that it was rather nice. She would rather sleep here than in the bunk with everyone else. After forcing Jude onto a beanbag, she dragged another beanbag towards him and flopped on it with a contented sigh, stretching out her legs, "Much better!"

Forced into a beanbag he kind of sat there like a ragdoll suddenly dropped into a beanbag, a very discontent looking ragdoll. He didn't look uncomfortable at least. In fact he was slowly relaxing into his seat as best he could and let out a small sigh, "...I didn't bum you out or something did I?"
It wasn't exactly the best conversation to have with anyone ever. He just...
He trusted Ariane. That was all, he trusted her not to mock him for how he felt and she hadn't. The idea that he could trust her with his emotions was a sort of startling revelation for him.

"Nope," She replied, slowly sinking into her beanbag as she relaxed, putting her hands behind her head, staring up at the ceiling of the cove, "Don't worry about me. Like I said, I have great stamina. People don't usually tire me out that quickly. You though. You sound tired."

"I probably have better stamina than you do," he sorted a bit as he just tilted his head back to stare up at the ceiling for the time being. "I'm not tired I'm just...sad. Sad and alone," he corrected Ariane idly as if it had made all the difference in the world what his mindset was.
Indeed he probably could have stabbed a few more things and been fine hiding in the land of emotional denial but that didn't mean it was healthy.
"The only thing I am tired of are the ...sounds that I think I hear that make no sense. I keep losing Yom in them sometimes," he muttered under his breath, "I'm also tired of sharing bunks with others. I want my room so I can mope in private," he stretched out a bit more comfortably, "which is funny seeing as I avoided my room completely for a while to avoid being alone. Now I can't be alone and...I want to be."
