Just-A-Stick

Rex shrugged again, looking away. "I don't know."

"Hello, my name is Miss Iris... what's your name?" Her voice is very soft and kind.

Stick looks at @SmilingPanda19, then at @Part Of The Narrative, then at the floor. A tear falls from her eye, landing on her boot. it's followed by another, then another. She makes no move to wipe then away, only staring at the floor. The boards go blurry in her eyes, and she cries harder, not making a sound, not looking up.

"Alright, if she called me, is she the one I should be talking to?"

Stick looked at Thaidakar blankly. "What?"

Rex shrugged, "A few years, why?"

"Thank you. Now, Jared, why did you call me today?" Iris asked calmly.

She shrugged and looked down.

"Please, sir? Can you tell me you're name?"

Stick smiles back at her, anxiety disappearing for the moment.

"Sure...?" She said, equally hesitant.

Rex ran her hand through his hair slowly, smiling at him.

She laughed softly, "I think we're both lucky to have found each other."

"It is." She rested her forehead against his.

"I love them both." She whispers, wiping her eyes and not looking at him.

"I will." She says very quietly. Stick stares at her, tears forming in her eyes.

Stick shook her head, looking first at @SmilingPanda19, then at @Part Of The Narrative, then back at her hands.

Stick nods and looks at her hands.

She settled her hand on the back of his neck, rubbing gently in a smooth, circular motion.

"I want to help you." She says slowly, "You called me, so I'm sure you could use some help."

Stick shakes her head slowly, staying in her chair.

Stick eyes everyone, whimpering slightly.

Rex kissed lightly, lips lingering on his.
