[You're not that good an actor] I sent to Maya. She looked up at me in shock. "And neither are you," I continued out loud, looking at Jessy. "That good an actor. If either of you need it, talk to me. I want to help, but I can't if you don't tell me you need it."
(((Mushyness. Sorry Del.)))

"I think I'll go home. A girl crying in the window will not be good publicity." I managed a weak smile and walked towards the door.

"Don't make me throw a muffin at you girl," I threatened. It won a small laugh out of her. "Now, come back over here and go 'oh, shiny' for a while. then we'll go get some lunch. You too, Mai. no arguements."

This was one of these moments that always makes you feel a little awkward, little uncomfortable. You don't really know what to say to sound comforting and you know that if you try and change the subject then it'll make you look uncaring. In short all you can do is stand back and let the emotion go on.
It was weird though. It felt like everyone was sad, and not for the same reasons. And I hated knowing that. All these spells I'd been practising came with side-effects, some kind of mild empathic ability. Normally it'd be pretty funky but right now really wasn't the best of times.
A million thoughts and feelings running through my head but I still kept wondering about the first soul saber. Stuff like that seemed interesting, origins and the like. Backstories intrigued me and on the odd occasion even a bit of good solid history wasn't bad
"So." I said softly, trying to shift the conversation a little. Take peoples minds off their troubles. "It's a pretty spiffy saber... I mean I've always wondered why exactly they were created. What were the first intentions?"

I sat down again as Nicki thankfully changed the topic.
i said to Doc after a pause, [but...you cant. Nothing can change what has happened... I just gotta work it through myself... you've done all you can. ok?]

I'm hungry I thought blandly. It was comforting when the animal insticts took over, leaving most of my human feelings behind.

"Let me put it this way, Nck-Nack," I said, looking down at Maya. "We've known the reason, or at least Lin's reason, for...how long now, Del?"
[There's more ways than one of helping] I sent to Maya [Just being the one to help you survive will do me perfectly.]

I smiled- it wasn't much, but it was the first time in a long time.
[That i can deal with.] I told him. [thank you]

[My pleasure] I sent, my hand snaking out from around Jessy's shoulder aminute, grabbing a muffin that sat on a nearby plate and handed it to Jessy. "In your mouth, not on other people."

"Really? Cos I think it would look good on- Oh all right." I'd never really known what the muffin fight was about, before my time I'd guesssed. And I'd never tell Doc, but I didn't really like them and had a slight allergy to blueberry, the one currently in my mouth.

((I think Lin needs her time in the spotlight now... sooo))
[Lin's POV]
I gave a soft sort of smile to Nicki, the kind of wise yet kind look that my people had perfected over the course of their lives. There was no way to clearly articulate how I was feeling at that moment. Pride, in my creation and my sister as well, and perhaps even a bit in myself. This was my ultimate labour; I could still remember pouring myself into it. Heart and-- no. I couldn't say that I poured my soul into it as well, for it was not my own soul that powered the first soul sabre. An equally precious soul, to be certain, but not my own. I fought to keep the sadness from flashing past my eyes, but I couldn't tell whether I was successful or not.
"I made this sword to help my sister," I replied. "I do not know the intentions of the others, nor did they know mine. But it was my will to present it to her and hope that the soul therein would help her own to battle the demon inside. Of course, I see now that she did not need me."
[I always needed you, and I always will] I heard in my head. I smiled once more.
((short and sweet lol))

"Of course she needs you, Lin," I said, trying to lighten the atmosphere. "Who elses going to help her dimantle Fancy Pants's car?" There was a chuckle that was cut short as Jessy began coughing violently. "Jess? You okay?" The muffin she was eating flew out of her mouth.
"Blueberry," she whispered. "I'm alergic to blueberry."
"Ah, shit," I muttered. "I'm sorry, Jess. I didn't know. I..." Say it, Doc. You screwed up. Like bloody usual.

"Only slightly," I smiled. Right on cue my mouth swelled up.

I chuckled,
"C'mere." I said. She approached, looking very uncomfortable. I sprinkled a couple of pinhces of powders from a small bag into the remains of my coffee, and passed it to Jess. "Drink." I ordered. She did as instructed, and the swelling immediately went down. I grinned briefly, and sat back again.
