Jared headed to the shower. The hot water washed away the grime of the undercity, and that alone helped him feel better. Military training stuck with him and his shower was quick. In fact, a hot shower was a luxury he wasn't used to.
Quickly drying off and putting back on his clothes, Jared headed back down stairs where he was greeted with a warm smile and a hot cup of coffee.
"Thank you,"
he said taking a drink.
Emily took his hand, interlacing her fingers with his, and led him to a couch where they sat down. "You okay?"
she asked him.
Jared smiled at her. "Better now."
he said. "I just have some decisions I have to make."[/color]
"Can I help?"
Emily was always wanting to help. "You already are."
Jared said, laying down with his head in her lap.
Emily allowed it, their relationship felt so natural and the motion hadn't felt strange to either of them. Her hand moved to his hair and stroked gently.
"What happened out there?"
Jared thought about it a moment. Emily didn't know about his gift, but as he thought about it, he trusted her.
"I had gone down into the tunnels to practice. You see I'm one of those channelers that the Ascendancy had talked about."
Emily smiled at him and he felt suddenly cold. She raised a hand and a small flame appeared above it. Jared laughed.
"So you know all about that."
he said continuing. "I don't know if you'll believe this, but there was some troubles with some creatures down there. I healed someone who was taken away. That's why I'm exhausted. I stretched my limits."
Emily nodded in understanding. "Well you just rest up a bit.
They chatted for a little bit and eventually turned on the television just to relax. Jared soon succumbed to his fatigue and fell asleep in her arms.
