Welcome to Gaia! ::

No one had followed her. Thank god.

Lellouch touched down on the roof to her brother's place and she hastily made a beeline for the roof top entry way. She was careful not to jolt the unconscious General around to much. She wanted to make as little noise as possible as she made her way to what had become her make shift room. There was no need to alert the short haired blonde who resided on the floor below to her presence just yet.

Once in her room, Lellouch carefully deposited her load onto the bed before powering down. She was glad to see that he had powered down in the time it had taken her to get them here. Now she was Jaysen. There was no more Lellouch. They were safe for now. They could breathe... No one would have anyway to find them now.

The teenage girl then left the room, heading for the nearest bathroom and hall closet as she began a mad search for any bandages, balms or whatever she could use to treat the General's injuries. Darting back into the room Jay dumped everything on the bed side stand before making quick work of her new guests shirt. She tossed it aside with little grace as she then rolled him over on his stomach.

Jay cringed at the sight of the bruise and for a moment she couldn't tell if it was as bad as it looked. But that didn't matter now. Treat it. Take care of his injuries. She hissed mentally.

Jaysen just hoped it would be enough.

Jaysen just moved from one spot to the next as gently as she could. The skin was agitated and raw in places be it from the burns or the jagged piece of rock that crashed down on him. She'd have to wait on the burns she realized. He'd need to get those checked to assess how bad they were. Balms and the like could do more damage then harm, so for now she worked on any open cuts.

She had to stop a few times and listen to make sure he was even still breathing. When she couldn't determine it from just looking at him she'd lean over and tuck her ear close to mouth. Once she had her proof that yes, he was still breathing, Jaysen would relax the smallest bit, releasing a quiet sigh of her own.

When she was done with what she could bandage on his back, Jaysen gave his arms a quick once over before collapsing against the wall next to the bed. Now she could do nothing except wait. Wait and think.

Where did she even begin? Tonight... Tonight had been something. There were no words to describe it. At least none that she could properly fit to the scene. Though if she had to pick one that came the closest?

Chaos.

Pulling out the switch blade that had taken up a permanent home in her short's pocket, she placed the hard casing on the floor and spun it. Her mind drifted to various places as she watched it spin in circles before ultimately stopping. Would Beni- ... this guy, whoever this was, wake up. She hoped he did. Jay had possibly lost one General. She didn't need to lose a second.. She spun the casing again. Where had Chalcanthite gone, she wondered. Was he alright? Was Bischofite?

Bischofite...

Jaysen sighed as she tilted her head back against the wall. She had so many questions. So many things she wanted answered. But once again, where did she even begin? She had no way to even find Chalcanthite. And the blonde was not powering up only to leave her half dead catch here on his own. That wouldn't be fair to him.

So once again she was back to square one. Waiting and thinking.

The gasp and sudden gentle rustle of fabric caused Jaysen to jump as she came crashing back to reality. Her head snapped to the side and she found that her little guest was now awake and squirming. "Hey. Easy does it." The blonde urged as she moved to kneel closer to the bed. Her switchblade lay abandoned on the floor as it finished yet another set of rotations. "...You got hurt. Some of the warehouse came down and landed on your shoulders. You've got some bad bruises and burns. I've done all I could but..." She trailed off. He should still get himself checked out when he was able to move a little more freely. "Just try not to move around too much."

The words caused her to stop moving and her gaze softened as she watched him. With a quiet sigh she placed her hand over his again, squeezing it gently. "Shh..." Jay cooed softly. Her other hand moved to rest on his head as she began stroking his hair lightly. In all honesty, she couldn't blame him for his reaction. It was evident he knew Bischofite far more then she ever did. He needed this. He needed to cry and get whatever he was feeling out of his system. "Just breathe... you're safe Beni." The wrong name, she knew. But she hoped it gave him sense of familiarity. He wasn't just some nameless person caught in the chaos of that night.

When he cried out and shook his head, Jaysen again squeezed his hand with a gentle murmur of 'easy now'. "Don't move just yet.. Can I get you anything?" Jaysen asked. "Pain killers perhaps? Water?"

"Hi Alexandre...." She said softly as she continued to stroke his hair. " 'm Jaysen. But you know me better as Lellouch..." The blonde gave him a small smile in hopes it could help him relax. "I wasn't part of this when Tanz was around..." Jay had only heard bits and pieces of who this Tanzanite was. ...Perhaps she'd start asking more questions in the future.

"I don't know Alex... It doesn't make sense to me either." It never made sense to her when any organization would harbor 'traitors' only to turn on those that had started on their side to begin with. Bischofite had once told her in the very beginning that she would end up having to deal with a lot of s**t from others if she followed him. Maybe this was what he meant. "...We'll figure something out alright? We can go track Chal down later."

"Jay also works by the way. I answer to both." The hand that was on his head retreated and she laid it on the bed before resting her own head on top of it. "Oh yeah?? I bet that was something. What did you think of her?" Mindless small talk, but much needed small talk. If it got him to think about something else then it was alright with her.

"No problem.." Came the murmur. "I'm sorry for having to knock you out like that though.. And I'm sorry for letting you get hurt like you did." They had needed to get out of there, the both of them. And he was too lost in a bloodlust. "I didn't know how to get you out of there and I thought it was best if I just... took over." She realized she'd be in trouble for her methods but... She'd done worse. Too late now.

Jaysen squeezed his hand again. "Just breathe... I didn't say we had to see Bischofite. I just said we can track Chal.. We could have called him to the roof for a moment. You could talk to him through the communicator crystal can't you?" There was a series of light taps at the window and Jay turned to find a black bird, a raven, sitting on the ledge. She rolled her eyes when it was eventually joined by too more. "Baby steps." She mumbled as the blonde ignored the birds outside. Then she leveled Alex with a serious gaze. "...You're not going to avoid him are you?"

At the glance, Jaysen removed her hand slowly. Perhaps it was a little to personal now. It served its purpose while he was hysteric. But now that he was calmer... "She sounds interesting. I wish I could have seen her when she was around."

"And I told you I wasn't going to follow that order." Jaysen snorted, pulling away to rummage through the draw of the stand. "I also told you that you had my help, whether you accepted it or not. I did exactly what I told you." The blonde paused, glancing at Alex once more. "You can't avoid him forever you know... Or rather.. Don't? I don't think that would be very fair." To either of them. "Bazzi forgives you you know. I know I don't know the entire story but I've seen enough through your interactions with him to know he cares for you regardless of what happened between you."

Jaysen went back to her rummaging before producing a lighter and a small box and setting them on the windowsill. "Mhmm.. Poe, Nevermore and Diablo." She said pointing to each one. Then with out warning Jaysen threw the window open before climbing out on the small ledge that was there as she shoo'd the birds off. "They aren't allowed inside."

"Don't mind me I just.." She tapped the box lightly. The blonde was starting to come down from the emotional high of earlier. Any gentleness or niceness or whatever Alexandre wanted to call this state that she was in would soon begone and he'd be left with the girl he'd seen before. "How are you feeling? ....You do realize I'm not letting you go home tonight right?"

She was dead. What a shame. "I would have liked to see her I think." Jay was curious as to what she would of thought of Tanzanite."

"Possibly. If the building wasn't coming down around us there probably would have." Though, while he did out rank her, he had to remember that he was not her Commanding Officer. "Have you ever seen the movie Sleeping Beauty? That silly Disney one? Diablo is the name of Malecifent's Raven." It was a stupid name really. But as Diablo was the oldest, and she -had- been a young child when she named him... It stuck.

Jaysen sat on the ledge rolling the lighter in her hand before she finally brought it to life. "You said it yourself Alex. It's hard enough with Bazzi." She said as she lit the cigarette before taking a drag and extinguishing the flame. "Given the way you reacted before I came over, it was obvious you knew Bischofite better then most." Jay shifted, leaning through the window to look at him once more. "Can you really ignore him? Can you do that to yourself? Can you do that to him?"

"No offence but you don't strike me as the type that breaks ties easily. You seem very people oriented to me." Jay said as she resumed her post outside. While she could definitely see the shorter blonde trying for a bit. Jay didn't think it would last forever.

"I should have and could have done a lot of things Alex." That didn't mean she had to act on them. "I could have left you sure, But then I would have had a very cross youma on my hands to deal with later, like I said. You know as well as I do that if Bazzi found out I had done nothing to keep you save we both would have been in big trouble. Even if you didn't survive that." Jaysen sighed as she listened to him shuffle about and move. "You would have done the same if the rolls were reversed I think." She said as she stared at the cigarette caught between her fingers. It was leaving nothing but a bitter taste in her mouth...

So much for unwinding.

The corner of her lip twitched and she snorted quietly as she listened to Alex explain. So that was his name... "He dropped me off a building.." She murmured offhandedly. "He is-" Was? "My commanding officer. Or atleast, his was the name I gave when people asked."

Snuffing out the half finished cigarette Jaysen crawled back through the window before sitting on the floor once more. What was she suppose to say? 'Hey, it could be worse? At least he's not dead?' No. That wouldn't be right. "You said it yourself. He's a brilliant mind. If anyone could make something like this work in their favor, I have no doubt it would be him. Jay glanced at the blonde with a curious brow. "Do I hafta do the whole speech on how you guys can still talk despite everything? Because I really don't want too. I'm too tired for this mental bullshit right now. I've only got one thing to say on the whole thing. You're not avoiding Bazzite, so why would you treat Bischofite any different?"

"I want to apologize Alex. When we first met, I said you were like my brother." The blonde said as she ran a hand through her hair. "You're not. He wouldn't avoid people like that just because s**t hit the fan." ...Well the one downstairs would. But he avoided everyone regardless. "I think it's good that you're not though..." She had tried to have her brother killed. God only knew what would happen with any 'figurative' siblings...

"Stop ******** moving about or I swear to god I will strap you to that god damn bed Alex."
