[color=teal]"Ah! S-Sorry!"[/color] Jess blurted out, cringing back from the flare of irritation. She'd pried too deeply, and Roxy wasn't exactly in the mood to deal with much else... including an overapologetic empath, she chided herself. Plus, considering the way things were starting to look, she'd have to learn to be stronger than this, for Roxy's sake as well as her own. [color=teal]"Yeah... it, um, doesn't seem like a good idea for anyone to get on your bad side."[/color]

When she had no idea what to say to help, the empath thought, maybe it would be best if she shut up. Falling silent, she trailed behind Roxy, taking care to keep up. If the shield slipped again, that wouldn't improve the situation any.
