The hadn't occured to her, though she was very familiar with the idea: love is blind in more than one way. Stormy pressed her lips together in a thoughtful frown.
"I know what you mean. I think everyone on the island got angry at the same time . . ." And then sad too, judging by Twitter. "If it makes you feel better, I did some stuff I wish I could take back, too," she added, knocking his tonfas asidein her assault. "But we can't. We gotta live with what we do, and then we gotta move on."
(Hilarious, considering who was talking.)
"Remember what I told you a long time ago? Don't get stuck in the past. Learn from it." Then Stormy grinned. "And also probably grovel. Grovelling is a nice touch."

Considering his mind was... still not quite on the fight, the push had startled him, and he wasn't able to retaliate as she nearly shattered his shield with her attack. It was a good thing this was just a spar, or else he might have ended up with a new scar.
"Yah, I guess so, even though there's so much.... I wish I could take back."
If he could, he'd probably try to re-write his whole past, though thankfully, he knew by now tampering wish such things could lead to irreversible results, which involved the good AND bad.
Desummong his weapon, he held up his hands in defeat, and gave her a weak smile.
"Yah, I guess you're right. Thanks."

For a split second it looked as though she would continue anyway--maybe it was the weight of her weapon encouraging forward momentum, maybe it was Thane's whispers, maybe it was just appearances only--and then Stormy too desummoned the greatsword with a short, loud puff of breath. Whew. That had been a little dramatic.
Wiping at her brow, she stepped over to Jake and lightly slapped both of his hands in a double high five since they happened to be raised. "Everyone regrets something," she told him quite sagely. "'Cause nobody's perfect. You just have to keep moving forward, right?" It was a portion of one of Walt Disney's quotes that she knew and had tried to take to heart. Maybe a little too much. (Or not nearly enough in some cases.)
"If you say you're gonna be better, then start working towards it. So!" Stormy eyed him expectantly. "Let's review. What're you gonna do with Sherry?"

For a split second, Jake thought she was going to stab him regardless, and began to wonder if perhaps he had dropped his guard too soon. But then again, if he hadn't desummoned them, he probably would have lost the fight anyways. If anything, this battle showed him that even if he started out with the upper hand, he couldn't let his guard down. Hadn't that happened before and it nearly cost him his life?
Thankfully, there were no new wounds to be had today (other than emotional ones), and he blinked when Stormy desummoned her weapon also and slapped both his hands. Huh. Double hi-five.
Her comment earned another weak smile.
"I suppose."
With the weight of the battle lifted off his shoulders, that was one less burden to worry about, though the other that had to be taken care of seemed twice as heavy.
"I..."
To be honest, he didn't really know.

Maybe that last hit had knocked him in the head too hard.
"You're going to take her a nice date," Stormy happily reminded him. "Somewhere simple if you can't think of anything, or someplace with really good food. You're going to get her something really nice and thoughtful." It probably defeated the purpose to be instructing Jake at all, but it was clear to her that he wasn't going to do it on his own.
Her hands fell from his to take both of his shoulders. "Most importantly, you're going to relax, mkay? I dunno what all's been going down between you two, but I think a breather's in order. Get away from the island for a bit. Be a normal couple for a day or two," she said with a smile.

Oh, right. Date. Yes.
"U-um, ok..."
Stormy should just plan all his dates, since she was clearly much better than him at all this. He wasn't even sure how the first one turned out the way it did. A small miracle in itself, he supposed.
"I think you're asking for a bit much," he joked, unable to hide an uneasy laugh. There was no such thing as "normal" between them. What was even considered normal? Even on their date, he was pretty sure he made several heads turn at how much he stood out. Perhaps he should stop dying his hair and wearing contacts. It wasn't like there was anything he needed to get away from here. Aside from... the island...

"And I think you need to lighten up and get a new perspective, Mister Grumpy Gills." She gave Jake's shoulders a little shake and had even spoken in the same babyish tone from the movie. "You're always so hard on yourself, Jake, and I think that's holding you back."
Stormy slipped her hands off of him. "Take a deep breath. Maybe 'normal' isn't the right word here, but . . . just go out there and do something to decompress?" she suggested. "Do something we can't here. Go to a video game arcade or buy exotic food or go sit on a beach that doesn't have a huge tentacle monster or mermaids trying to eat you and relaaaaaax."

"G-grumpy gills?"
Was this another Disney reference?
He sighed when she shook him, half-tempted to say "yes mom", but he settled for a nod.
"I guess I am."
He did as told, taking a deep breath, and then froze and stared at her when she finished speaking.
They... had huge tentacle monsters and mermaids? What the hell, when did this happen?
... and then he remembered to exhale.
"Ha, I'll try." Maybe he was sorta uptight.
"But hey. You too, ok? Don't bite off more than you can chew."
He ruffled her hair and smiled.
The advice probably wasn't necessary, since he knew Stormy was a strong and capable hunter, even when she didn't seem to think that at times.

She barely ate at all. He was just using a figure of speech, but Stormy almost laughed anyway. "When'd I ever do that?" she asked innocently, humming as Jake messed with her peach fuzz. "I'm always prepared for stuff! Gosh."
She poked his chest. "You've got your job, Jake Cross. I expect a mission report once you're done if you don't die," she said in her best (worst) impression of Caelius.

It felt kinda funny, prickly, yet soft, and he chuckled at Stormy's cheerfulness.
"You know what I mean."
Jake groaned at the mention of mission reports, but he did a mock salute, giving Stormy a serious look.
"Yea ma'am. I will be sure to complete my objective, and report back to you." He dropped his tone and sighed. "And if not me, I'm sure Sherry will tell you all about it."

"Good boy!" Stormy returned his salute with her own, two fingers touched to her temple. "Even so, you'll see me around. I like sneaking and eavesdropping~" She had taken her Mist training seriously, and coupled with her Death concentration, she was liable to be practically a spy at this point.
With that cheerful bit of news, she clapped her hands. "Thanks for coming over, by the way. I'm not too far away now if you ever decide to visit, mkay? Text me or whatever if you need something."
[A.V.] fin tag? /o/ yay for catching up!

Jake grinned, and let out a nervous chuckle.
Oh boy, another Solia.
Still, he appreciated the offer, and nodded.
"Of course. Thanks for the spar, and the advice. I'll let you know how it goes."
With another smile, he gave a wave, and then turned to leave.Ol-j-man Works for me! Thanks for the rp!! <33333333333333333333
