Saber continued to listen to her play after picking up what she had said. Over the years, he had learned to listen more than talk. He always found out rather interesting things that way. With a combination of not knowing what else to say and not wishing to interrupt her playing, Saber simply looked out over the graves, his gaze moving from one stone to the next.

"Wih flowers and my love both never to come back, I see people turn their heads and quickly walk away .. . ."
She trailed off from singing and spotted Jakkin from their high place and murmured, thoughtfully, remembering what he;d told her.
"I guess this isn't really a great first impression, huh?"

Jakkin stopped, leaning on a tombstone, listening to Ophelia's playing.
Nice choice, it suited his current mood.
I see a red door, I want it painted black
No colors anymore, I want them to turn black...

Saber watched the demon-winged guy walk into the cemetary but only gave him a casual glance. He then looked back to Opheliah. "Sorry... I think you're very kind for asking me to sit with you. I must make lousy company though." He shifted slightly then rubbed his head again. I suck around people...especially girls. No wonder I can't keep friends or a girl.

She glanced up, fingers pausing.
"Oh, that's not what I meant. It's just . . . "
She paused and nodded to Jak.
"He gave me some advice, once, about how o make a good impression. And I'm wondering if it would really work that well, or not, since it's not really something that's in my nature to try."

...I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes,
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes...

A very faint blush come to his cheeks. Of course he'd say the wrong thing. "Oh...sorry, again." He looked down to his feet, thinking he had gotten past embarassment but it seemed as if he hadn't. "I think any advice is worth trying...unless to just 'go out and socialize for once in your life'. That sort isn't very helpful."

She tilted her head, watching the boy next to her. Maybe he wasn't so much like Lucius after all.
"It's not easy like people think it is. JAk, and my sister, Cantique, and my brother Mitsuru, they all always tell me, go out. Meet people. The only way to fly is to jump. But what if you fall?"
She chewed her lip and looked down at the guitar again, picking up another chord progression from 'Paint it Black', since Jak seemed to be enjoying it.

Saber nodded again. He understood just what she meant. Some people would think that if one travels a lot then that person would be social. No, Saber choose to stay out of such things thinking it would make his life simple. No one to worry about but himself, right? He sighed to himself. But it hadn't been that way. After finding his sister, he was thrown into a world that nearly thrived on social things. He felt very out of place.

She sighed softly and looked up to judge th e time by the moon.
"I supposed I should be going. Will I see you again, sometime, Saber?"
She glanced down at JAk and, mentlly, made a note to see f he was feeling all right before she headed home. He looked completely sullen.

Jak sat down on the ground, his back leaning against the tombstone. He closed his eyes and let the music wash over him.
((now you've gone and stuck that song in my head rolleyes ))

"Hm? Oh, yes, that would be nice." He gave her another one of his small rare smiles. "I'll most likely be where no one else is if you want to find me again." He rolled his eyes mentally at himself, knowing that he probably sounded stupid saying that.

She laughed, brightly and said,
"I'll likely see you here again, then."
She paused, thinking about what Jak had said, before leaning over and giving Saber peck on the cheek. Just a friendly gesture, before grabbign the strap of her guitar and ropping the ground below. She wound around to where Jak was sitting, and kneeled down.
"You don't look so good."

Opening one eye, Jak looked to see Ophelia beside him."Hey there dollface, you play well."
