Saber remained standing, still trying to figure out what to say and how to say it. "Look..." He sighed, hand ruffling his own hair, trying to find the right words, knowing they wouldn't come. "You could have at least told me you had feelings for another...and maybe if you hadn't said you loved me. I wouldn't have cared so much then...but 'I love you' isn't a phrase to be thrown around." He shifted from one foot to the next, eyes still hidden behind messy hair. "I don't really know what else to say. I want to be mad...but I don't know who to be mad at." He looked at her, voice still calm. "Had I done something wrong or was it something I didn't do? Or is 'I love you' just a lose term now-a-days?"

He closed his eyes, sighing and leaning against Jak, wearily.
"They're all I've ever had in the world that meant much to me, those two little girls up there. What I had to do was the best thing, wasn't it?"
"No," she said, quickly, shaking her head, almost violently, "No, no, no, no, no. You didn't do anythign wrong. Noothing. I did. I was wrong."
She squezed her eyes tightly, closed, continuing in a voice that sounded more like a mechanics work shop, trying to fight down more tears, ranging from whispering tho whining to squeaking all in the same string of speech,
"I do love you, Saber. I really, really do. I am in lov3e with you. I had too much to drink. I would have never let it get that far if I'd been in my head. And . . . and I was still scared. Of Lucius. Of somethign like that happening again. Because in some ways, he's so much like Lucius . . . ."
She paused with a soft, long sniff.
"There isn't anything that can fix what happened. But I honestly love you, and am in love with you, and I'm not scared anymore. But I AM so, so sorry."

Saber remember clearly that she had meantioned that he reminded her of Lucius as well. A running theme with guys she meets? He shook the thought out of his head. "I won't leave you...not this time, anyway. But...if it happened again..." He didn't want to sound like a b*****d about it but he wasn't going to let anyone play with his emotions. "I won't tell you to stay away from that guy either...but if it happens again..." He shifted again to his other foot. What else was he supposed to say? He would rather she didn't see that guy again...but then he really would be a b*****d. He'd probably have to hunt him down, along with this Lucius guy, and have a little talk with them bother. If his fists had to do the talking then so be it.

Jak slipped an arm around his waist and led him to a chair. Gently pushing him down in it and dropping to the arm beside him., he kissed his forehead softly. "Dont doubt yourself my love. You did what was best for her...she needed to see."

She looked up at him again, eyes still wet with tears, but at least not steadily crying anymore.[/ii]
"If it happens again, which I don't plan on letting happen, I'll leave. You deserve much better than someone who doesn't appreciate you enough to learn their lessons well."
She chewed her lip, which, for the third or fourth time, split and started, just slightly, to trickle blood onto her chin. She didn't seem to notice, waiting anxiously, for his reply, i he had one.
He nodded and closed his eyes, ilting his head to catch JAk's lips, just slightly, murmuring,
"I know. And she had to learn, too. I helped to bail her out . . . . before, because it was an exceptional case. But I can't bail her out everytime. I she loves Saber,and I really think she does, she has to learn to take care of it herself."

Saber watched her, his resolve starting to crumble. Tears always made him crack, especially if those tears belonged to someone he cared about. He looked around for a moment then plucked up a tissue to soak up the small trickle of blood on her chin. He knelt infront of her, wipping the blood away before kissing the bleeding spot on her lips. "Dry up your tears, kitten. I'm not mad at you." He decided that he would go find the guy later on and have a nice long chat...but for now, he'd try to dry her tears.

She sighed osftly in relife and closed her eyes, leaning forward, forehead against his, tears slipping out, still, trickling down her cheeks.
"I'm sorry. I'm just . . . I'm happy, is all. I was afraid, when I told you, I was afraid I'd lose you . . ."
She sniffed, wiping her cheeks and staring to try and pull herself together and, as Mitsuru said, sometimes, be a trooper, whatever that was supposed to mean.

Jak kissed him lovingly, his hand cupped to the back of his neck. "You're worn out."
He glanced toward the stairs, reluctant to head up there with Saber still upstairs. He glanced briefly at the couch, offended by the thought of the recent scene taking place there.
"Where to my love?"

Saber wiped away her tears with his thumbs. "I guess a few meaningless kisses aren't so bad. Lust instead of love, right?" He knew drinking could impair people and her could forgive it, so long as it was random lust or or just plain confusion.

He sat up, popping his neck, loudly and sighed, softly.
"It's late. There's no reason to send Saber home so late. I think after being caught once, with the WRONG guy, Phelia will be smart enough to behave with the right one. Think we should let him sleep over tonight?"
He smiled softly, listening to himself. It was feeling like he and Jak were the girls' parents more than Mama Sego was.
She nodded, almost frantically, but clamed, almost eerily at his touch, closing ehr eyes and sighing, softly, leaning into his hands.
"If I were sober, I would have never . . . ."
She sighed softly, murmuring,
"I promise, from now on, no drinking without you."

Her frantic nodding made him wonder but he wasn't going to question it, not right now. "I'll hold you to that promise. Rohan will know of it as well." He didn't see the elf as a threat anymore, at least not a big one. "I don't know how long I should stay up here with you. Your brother's downstairs at the moment."

Jak grinned, clearly pleased at his inclusion in family matters. Stretching out along the back of the chair, he fingered Suru's hair playfully. "You know your sister better than I love, but I'm more interested in where I will be spending the night."

He raised an eyebrow, smirking, and stood up, grasping Jak's hands and pulling him up as well.
"Well, I can't be a hypocrite, now can I? I can't let Saber stay and send you home, too. So, for the sake of justice, I think you should sleep in my room."
He grinned, playfully, tugging him up the stairs to Ophelia's room, poking her head in the ope door, but not saying anything, to keep from interrupting.
She smiled weakly, nodding again, almost as frantically. She wanted him to see her earnesty, and, in a state of incomplete sobriety, the best way to do that seemed to be amlified physical complimentary movement.
"I just . . . I just wish you could stay. I don't want to be alone tonight. And I've missed you so much . . . ."

Saber rubbed her knees, still kneeling infront of her. "I'd love to stay...but I wouldn't want to piss your brother off by doing so." He leaned in and kissed her lightly on the lips. "Unless you can convice him to let me stay."

Jak chuckled, slipping an arm around Suru's waist as he allowed himself to be led up the stairs to Ophelia's room. He stood in the open doorway, concern on his face as he looked at the pair inside. "Everything okay beautiful?"
