Annoyed with the fact he was teasing her. But She didn’t give him the gratification of trying to say anything. She watched him and Acion leave, leaving her, her uncle, and Retha standing by the door. Her uncle was still warming up the packs as hot as he could with his quirk… She couldn’t take her eyes off of him. She was told that he was dead five years before. All of them. He saw her staring and gave her a smile. [color=fff200] “You’ve grown up since I last saw you. You were barely to my waist then.”[/color] He placed the last pack on her while she nodded… As much as she wanted to jump right into the pleasantries, she still had a lot of questions on her mind on where, how, why. As if he was reading her mind he simply said, [color=fff200] “All will be answered at another time, like I said you need your rest...[/color] She grabbed his hand with both of hers, holding him with vice like grip. She looked down, she didn’t want him to leave...afraid that this was just a dream. Jean-luc smiled softly, taking this moment to sit on the edge of her bed. Kaida looked up at him at this moment. Satisfied now that he wasn’t leaving any moment soon. [color=92278f] Is... [/color] She hesitated and looked down again, as if feeling too ashamed to ask a question, as if the very mention of it could worsen the mood. But if he was alive..then... He seemed to understand even with the single word, her body language was more than telling. He nodded and said softly, [color=fff200]”Kira is ok, she’s safe.”[/color] At which Kaida let out a breath she was involuntary holding, tears of relief in her eyes. [color=fff200]”No more questions. Lay down little one…” [/color] He said in a more fatherly no nonsense tone. Which he placed a hand on her shoulder and gently laid her back, pulling up the blanket and cloak that was there to her chest with his free hand. Kaida did not let go of his other hands but complied. She glanced at Retha for a moment but didn’t say anything. She wondered why she was just standing there. But her thoughts quickly ended as she quite suddenly drifted back asleep, the adrenaline and everything wearing off. How quickly it happened even surprised Jean-luc. But it made him chuckle as he gently moved her hands under the blankets and brushed her forehead gently before standing up. He cleared his throat gently before looking around for his jacket, which managed to get wrapped up in Kaidas arms somehow. Knowing that getting his jacket back would cause too much hassle. He decided to make his way to the waiting room. Straightening his tie, he glanced at Retha who was glaring at him still. He ignored her for the moment as he unbuttoned his sleeves and folded the cuffs back again and again till the extremely neat folding was tight to his forearm and just under his elbow. He then pulled his phone out after he felt it vibrate, replying to a text that came in before walking to the door. Clearing his throat and saying [color=fff200] “Pardon me.”[/color] As he slipped his phone into his back pocket and started walking down the hall towards the stairs.
