[i]Ophelia turned her gaze to the door as she heard the handle turning. The door opened and Jax came through followed by Morthos, who looked completely different. Her eyes widened and she stood up, moving quickly towards them. She approached Morthos and reached up, brushing her fingers through his hair, which was now cut short. She looked at his jacket and jeans and grinned a fangy smile at him. [color=6ecff6]"You look hot!"[/color] Her attention turned to Jax and she chewed her lip a moment. 

[color=6ecff6]"I made you some ramen. It's still hot,"[/color] she said softly, looking at Jax gently. Ophelia brushed a piece of hair from her face and then leaned against the counter slightly.[/i]

Jax felt like shit immediately. She put Morthos’ stuff beside the door and came up and gave her a hug, [color=00a651]"I’m sorry for what I said last night! You’re not stupid! I was drunk and on pain meds. You know I didn’t mean it!”[/color] She pulled back smiling, [color=00a651]"I watched your fight today! You destroyed him!”[/color]

She took a step back, [color=00a651]"Why would you even consider fighting though! You never seemed interested in taking on someone like that before!” [/color]

[i]Ophelia was suddenly being hugged by Jax, and she wrapped her arms around her sister tightly, listening to her apologize. [color=6ecff6]“I forgive you. I know you don’t really trust Roxas, and I understand why you don’t. I’m sorry too,”[/color] Ophelia spoke lightly, having missed her sister, even though it was only for a day. 

[color=6ecff6]“I want to be in the same rank as you so I can make sure you’re safe. I want to be able to do missions and things with you. I know I’m not typically the fighter in this situation, but Suriel seemed like a fun person to take on, and people underestimate me,”[/color] she smirked a little at the irony of Suriel being the angel of love, something that Ophelia had been searching for, for a long time. [color=6ecff6]“I don’t want to be without you.”[/color] She smiled softly and looked at Jax’s eyes. [/i]

Jax felt her heart warm a bit, [color=00a651]"I know you can’t help who you like. I shouldn’t have been so harsh. I can’t change how I feel about him though. As for going up in rank. Selfishly, it will be nice to have you on missions. I would be worrying too much when I’m gone. I don’t want to be without you either.”[/color] She leaned over and mussed up Ophelia’s hair a bit knowing that it was something she always used to do when they were little. Jax had always been the taller one, even when she was a fat little tub. She blew out a breath, [color=00a651]"I promise. I’ll give Roxas a chance..but I’m not sure I can help you with Mom when she find out you bonded.” [/color]

She gave her another hug whispering in her hair, [color=00a651]"You didn’t sleep with him did you?”[/color]

[i][color=6ecff6]“Mom doesn’t get to have a say in what I do anymore, Jax. Yes, she’s mom, but we are adults. I’m allowed to make my own choices.”[/color] Ophelia said, almost sternly, though not directed at Jax. Their mother had always prohibited things that Ophelia did. But not anymore. Jax then leaned forward and whispered against Ophelia’s ear. Ophelia smiled softly, turning to kiss Jax on the cheek before answering, [color=6ecff6]“No, don’t worry.”[/color] She turned and pointed to the bowl still on the table, getting cold. [color=6ecff6]“Eat before it’s completely cold. And there’s something else I need to talk to you about, later though.”[/color] She said, hoping that she could talk to Jax alone at some point about her out of body experience, and some other things related to Jax’s last question.[/i]

Jax blushed slightly as she was kissed on the cheek, relieved that Ophelia hadn’t slept with Roxas yet. She knew it wasn’t her business but she knew that would only strengthen her bond with the dude and she wasn’t quite sure of him yet. Jax licked her lips as she moved to the ramen, [color=00a651]"Thanks girl for the Ramen! It smells amazing! I hope it’s okay if I brought Morthos home for dinner. We went...shopping.”[/color]

She paused looking over at Morthos’ new look and blushed, thinking of their kiss as she sat down and dug in, [color=00a651]“And a haircut. Morthos was hit on by a sexy elf named Edwin!” [/color]She bit her lip hoping Ophelia wouldn’t notice that she was a bit off kilter.

[i][color=6ecff6]“Yes that’s fine, he’s always welcome. I did notice his new duds. You helped him pick? What else did you guys do today?”[/color] Ophelia asked watching as Jax blushed a second time once she looked to Morthos. Ophelia’s brow furrowed very slightly, and she watched Jax’s face even closer. She wondered if something had happened between them, but figured she would leave that up to Jax to tell her. [/i]

Jax slurped up a noodle, [color=00a651]"Yes I helped him pick! It was mostly Edwin choosing..but I know how to dress guys.”[/color] She laughed knowing that Ophelia would be surprised because in a female clothing store Jax was a mess. She either chose clothes that were either too tight because they were easier to fight in, colours that didn’t suit her, or as Ophelia put it,”clothes a trog goblin would be caught dead and buried in.” She laughed at her visual representation and then gave a squeal, [color=00a651]"OH AND HE BOUGHT ME A VARGOTL SCYTHE! HARDON IS GOING TO MAKE ME ONE!!! I’M SO EXCITED!!!! I STILL CAN’T BELIEVE THAT I WILL HAVE THAT SCYTHE IN MY HANDS. IT’S GOING TO HAPPEN. BEST FRIEND EVER!!!!” [/color]

She gave Morthos a wide smile, wanting to hug him again for being so bloody awesome. 

[i]Ophelia’s eyes widened at both the clothing comment, and the fact that Jax was shouting about a new Vargotl scythe. She knew those were bloody expensive, and her gaze shifted over to Morthos for a moment. She felt uneasy and looked at Jax again, lowering her voice, [color=6ecff6]“You shouldn’t of accepted that. Do you know how expensive those are? What did you do that made him offer?”[/color] She didn’t mean the question in a bad way, but she also knew that it seemed random to have someone offer to pay for such an expensive item out of nowhere. The situation with her dress and Roxas was different, because he owed her one. [color=6ecff6]“What are you doing with him? Do you even like him?”[/color] she whispered.[/i]

Jax’s excitement slowed way the hell down, [color=00a651]"Oh I just ya know, sucked his dick and he was all, Bitch is getting a new scythe.”[/color] She looked at Morthos for a few minutes sticking out her tongue, [color=00a651]"We are just friends Ophelia. He paid for the clothes because he needed them and they are for him, and the scythe is a birthday present. Also I didn’t just accept it right off the bat. We...we came to an agreement.”[/color] She blushed even brighter red this time and then looked back at her noodles, [color=00a651]"It was a one time thing and we settled it between ourselves, plus I will pay him back at some point.”[/color] She gave him an honest smile, [color=00a651]"I will pay you back...eventually.”[/color]

[i]Ophelia’s voice lowered even more so Morthos couldn’t hear her, and she spoke in barely a whisper, [color=6ecff6]“I see the way you two look at each other. You’ll tell me about this ‘agreement’ later. Because no matter what you say to me, it’s obvious as hell Jax.”[/color] She smiled then and got up, grabbing Hargul’s empty dish and placing it in the sink, her white dress flowing around her hips slightly. [/i]

Jax turned completely serious, keeping her voice low, [color=00a651]"There is nothing to talk about Ophelia. You know how I feel about dating, and I am 100 percent committed to my craft. So don’t go thinking that you can see a fairy tale where there isn’t one.”[/color] She smiled feeling bad about leaving Morthos out of the conversation, [color=00a651]"So...how you liking the Ramen?”[/color]
