Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jeannette crossed her arms and shifted all of her weight on to one hip.
"Yes you do.. Tressa. She doesn't seem all that depressed but I've seen her when she breaks down... not a pretty sight.."

Tressa looked down at Romano and picked him up.
"Hmm? Who do we have here?" she cradled him in her arms and scratched him behind the ears. "How did you get in here?"

Jeannette walked up behind him.
"You know when Tressa brought me back... I wanted to kill myself. You were doing so good without me.. and I wasn't there to make you sad anymore. So I trained to protect you.. and I tried to make sure you wouldn't see me. I didn't want to come back in to your life and ruin it again.. not when you were excelling so much. Not when the people at the academy had stopped teasing you. I knew me dying was a good thing, it hurt you, but in the end it probably saved you from so many things." She hugged her torso. "You and Tressa got so close.. I thought eventually, maybe, you'd forget about me.."

Tressa almost dropped him.
"W-Wah!?" Then it took her a second. "Romano?"

Jeannette was still hugging herself, she looked slightly taken aback.
"I never meant to die! I was protecting you Vene! I didn't want to lose you, I never wanted anyone to lose you! I knew you would achieve great things someday!" She turned her back on him and moved to the bulletin board and looked over the schedules, Asomi's was empty even though she still came every day. "Some times people have to be sacrificed for a greater cause... Yukai taught me that when I trained with him.

Tressa blinked with wide eyes before they relaxed.
"Well Hiya. Do you.... Do you want to see Hyua-chan?" She asked slowly, as if she knew how he might react.

Tressa nodded.
"Yeah she's out... and Of course I wont.." She carried him to Hyua's room. "Hyua chan! Look at what I found!"

Hyua looked up and her eyes immediately lit up.
"Aww~!! Look at it! It's so adorable!!!" She reached out her hands and Tressa handed him over. "He reminds me of Romano-kun somehow.."

Tressa laughed.
"I thought that too..."

Hyua nuzzled his little nose.
"He's so cute!"

Hyua smiled and petted him.
"Does he have a home?"

The question shocked Tressa a bit.
"No... I dont think he does..."

Hyua smiled.
"I'll keep him then. No cat deserves to be left out in the could." she scratched behind his ear. "I can't figure out a name though..."

Tressa smiled and sat down.
"Since he reminds you so much of Romano, why dont you name him that?"

A almost somber, sad but happy look passed over her face.
"That's a great idea." She looked down at Romano and smiled. "How's that? Should I call you Romano?"

Tressa sighed in relief, glad Romano had come back. This was the first time Hyua had smiled since he died and it gave her some sort of relief. She knew Vene didn't love her... as a friend or sister maybe, but as he loved Jeannette? Never. She was glad atleast one person could be happy. She pulled her knees to her chest and wrapped her arms around them, hugging them close to her and placed her head on her knees.

Hyua laughed and picked him up, cradling him in her arms.
"I guess I could take that as a yes."

Tressa looked down at Vene and smiled a bit, she could sense Vene's chakura from a long distance. She picked him up and placed him in her lap.
"Hey, how are you?" She knew Hyua couldn't hear her, she was too busy with romano.

Hyua laid back down and placed him on her stomach.
"I dont know about you Romano, but I'm tired... a lot of stress lately." She gave him a small smile before closing her eyes.

Tressa chuckled a little, it sounded fake, almost forced.
"So I see..." She petted him softly.
