Rend smiled and nodded thoughtfully, looks like little old Jeremy wanted to be more reliable, she knew him well enough to tell that was exactly the case. [color=slateblue]"That's just what I told you, right?"[/color] She couldn't help but laugh a little. [color=slateblue]"I mean that was really not long ago when I was decided to dry your pants.... still remember back during our first time at the cafe? I said I wanted us to have a mutual relationship, where we give and take? Well it goes without saying that I'll confide in you, but you'll have to do the same, suppose we must've forgotten that since we had to remind each other.[/color] Rena then sighed, her mood unmistakably shifting towards a more dark tone. She looked down being a little lost in thought, maybe even a little unsure before looking back to Jeremy.

Once again she nodded as if she made her mind up about something. [color=slateblue]"We agreed to be honest, that there won't be secrets between us."[/color] She said, somewhat wanting to confirm this fact. [color=slateblue]"Then I want to know more about your magic, maybe about how you came to have magic in the first place. I also want to know about those who want to want you dead, you called them 'purists' right?"[/color] Rena paused for a moment, those questions were easy to get out... but should she go even further? [color=slateblue]"...I also want to know how your parents were killed... I know it's for sure a sensitive topic for you, but just know that I want to know, I should be honest there, right?"[/color] Again she paused, she sucked through her teeth in her hesitation, because she had a hunch about Jeremy's feelings... and how he might not agree to this next part. [color=slateblue]"I also want to be by your side in this, like hell do I think you're safe as is, and you don't have to tell me if those purists are still after you... I just know that's the case. So, I've decided I'll be fighting with you, maybe I can't protect you properly if even at all, but I'm going to damn well try."[/color] Rena was dead serious about with her declaration, there wasn't a trace of humor in her expression. It should absolutely be clear to Jeremy that she wasn't kidding about this.
