Wedding Bells Part 2: The Reception

[Jared Vanders]

Natalie moved fast as Jared stood - habit for him more than anything - and he met her gaze. Words weren’t needed. It was clear to Jared that Natalie knew what was going on in how she acted. She went straight to Jay, and began to speak softly to him. But Jared knew, she was calling for him to come back, and knew if he heard anyone’s call it would be Natalie’s.

Jared was a healer - he was decent enough at it anyway, but whatever Jay had dealt with - it was beyond his skill. Jared didn’t speak a word, and he didn’t stay. This wasn’t for him. He could do nothing anymore except get in the way. It didn’t hurt him - he felt no grudge or ill feelings towards this. In this case Natalie was a master surgeon, and he the simple hospital orderly. Jared would thank her later. Because she was an angel who had come just in time to save his brother.

He stepped inside, and leaned his head against a wall of the atrium. He wasn’t ready to go in the hall yet. Jared needed to calm down before he faced all those people again. In reality there was only one person in that hall he wanted to see right now.

((OoC: Just wanted to extricate Jared there - you two do what you need to do - I’ll be on stand-by until then))
