  1. Isa swallowed, shrugging. "What did you talk to Jared about?"
  2. Standing beside her brother in the crowd, Elsa's heart dropped. NO. nononononono. As if in a daze, she walked forward, numbly aware of her brother's shock.
  3. Jared nodded, standing. He left the door open and slipped into the next office, closing this door.
  4. Isa looks at Jared. He nods at her and she smiles shyly at Iris. "Ok."
  5. Jared catches her eye, making sure she's ok. She smiled at him and sat down again, obviously trying to look very grown up as she crossed her legs and folded her hands.
  6. "The nobles," Rezyn said shortly, "are idiotic. I kept thinking they must have hidden depth or something, but everything they said proved me wrong." She threw up her hands. "The elite of the city! The big deals! They're so stupid!"
  7. "Yeah." He needed to check on her anyway. He knew she hated being left out of conversations.
  8. Jared shrugged, still not looking at her.
  9. "Ok. Yeah." He closed his eyes, focusing on the blackness. It was calming. He opened them again.
  10. His throat felt tight. His whole body did. Tense. He hated it. "Why do you want to?"
  11. Silence. Jared crossed his arms over his chest, tighter. He shook his head.
  12. Jared sighed. "Like the knife, from earlier. She thinks she sees...him, a lot..." He trailed off. "He didn't treat her very well."
  13. "I think so. She..dreams about it sometimes." This. This he could do. He could talk about Isa. "She sees things, other times."
  14. "I'm fine," he whispered reflexively. "She can come."
  15. "Not yet! She can't...she doesn't..soon," he said, pushing down panic. She couldn't see him until he was a calm, responsible brother again.
  16. "I...yeah..." Jared tried as hard as he could to stuff the memories away.
  17. Jared looked around, apparently studying the walls.
  18. "It was last year. Don't say sorry. Please."
  19. He wanted to. Oh, he wanted to. Maybe...in a way, he could. But not while looking at her. He stared at his hands again. "Isa saw our dad get killed."
  20. He looked at her incredulously. "Nothing can change what happened." He shut out the images he could feel trying to break into his mind.
