Watching the kids go up the stairs made him smile. Soon - it would be his own child looking forward to the magic of Christmas. It wasn’t magic like his or Emily’s - but it was magic all the same. Elyse had moved towards Rachel as soon as he had encouraged her and was helping Liam get Rachel to her feet. Rachel said something to the other girl that Liam had named Mara. Jared went to head upstairs and Rachel met his gaze. He gave Rachel a thumbs up and she gave a smile that didn’t reach her eyes.
Jared wished she could see that she was getting better. He knew what Emily was worried about. She wasn’t seeing that she was getting better. All she saw was the constant fear. Emily was worried Rachel was going to give up trying, and maybe there was some truth to that. They’d have to talk it over soon and maybe adjust their plan.
Arriving upstairs, the kids were excitedly looking at decorations and pulling out a fake tree to get set up. Christmas music was playing through the room’s speakers. Nox was in a conversation with a young lady, and Jared waited until they had finished before approaching the other man.
”Elyse had a bruise that was bothering her from the spar - I’m guessing you have the same. Would you like me to help with that?” Jared said, before turning his gaze to Gen. ”Gen saw me heal Elyse and asked if I could help you with your issue. How could I say no!” he turned his gaze back to Nox. ”That will bode well in nine months. I wouldn’t have said no to helping anyways. I’m not sure my healing skill is high enough, but I sort of made a promise. I’ll help however I can. Experimenting, troubleshooting, whatever I can do.”
((OoC: if Nox wants healing for bruises, mod it))
