Just to let you know I'm skipping the rest of the meal. I figure not much will happen until their done eating. Let me know if I need to change anything.

Roxy doubted that she would get use to it. Devika was pretty much the only person who did it. She watched the other woman walk away. She didn't know what to think of the empath. They were as different as two people could be. Once the bubble that was supposed Devika was strong enough to do so the empath would move on with her life. There was no chance Devika would want to spend more time with her. Especially after the empath met her father.

Over the next couple of weeks the two of them did their own thing for the most part. Every morning Roxy went downstairs and worked. She almost came upstairs for lunch. Then she would go back downstairs and work until late in the evening. She ate with Devika each night. Some times they would talk but it was mostly small talk and nothing too personal or deep.

Ok. That seems long but I've never had to readjust to society so I don't know how long it would take.

Can you give me an idea of time frame because I'm not sure. Its been a couple months now. (I think) Devika would be should used to Roxy and her customers. Probably used to small outings for shopping. She'll still be getting emotions. Mostly from Roxy but other emotions, especially strong ones, will slip through.

Do we want to skip again? I'd like them to start building a friendship of sorts. Maybe visit family depending on where you think Devika is.

"And why would it depend on what is asked of you Jessamyn? Is there something that you wouldn't do for your family?" Maxwell asked. It was vlear that he was implying that ahe might be the reason that Roxy didn't want to get involved even though everyone knew that wasn't the case. Why they want to make it seem that way was unclear.

"These men aren't psychopaths or sociopath. They will feel some kind of emotion when they answer the questions we intend to ask." Reginald assured her. He knew she would get something even if it wasn't much. Whatever she could get would help them determine what they wanted to do. "You just tell us what you pick up. If you honestly pick up nothing than you pick up nothing. We just want to know what you pick up." he assured her. If she picked up nothing they would know she was lying or unable to do what they wanted. Neither would be good.

"It isn't an older siblings responsibility to look after their siblings? " Reginald challenged. Older siblings were often expected to take care of their younger siblings. It was one of the key roles older children played in a family. "I didn't know that asking Roxanne to care about her brother's future was asking too much. I thought family took care of family." There was the guilt trip again he wasn't asking for the world.

"It isn't like we're asking her to do anything illegal or immortal. We simply want to know if the men here tonight are lying or not. If they're lying they can't have the boys beat interest in mind." Maxwell explained. Again it was a perfectly reasonable. Someone on the outside looking in might be able to see the benefits of doing what they asked.

The problem was that it wasn't that simple and Roxy knew that. This was only the tip of the iceberg. The part that looked safe. But there was so much more under the surface. Things that would come out to haunt them at a later date. Once they went down this road it would be hard to turn back but she wasn't sure that she could avoid it. She might have to give in to protect Jess and Drake.

"Sorry. I'll get control of my emotions." Roxy assured the other woman. She wasn't used to being aware of her emotions. She usually just shoved them aside until they disappear. Now she had to deal with them so that Devika wouldn't have to. She had no idea how she would do that but she would figure it. It wasn't fair to Devika that she couldn't keep them to herself.

"Kindness isn't something that I'm very familiar with." Roxy commented. She didn't understand Devika. It wasn't that she was opposed to the woman doing things for her. She just didn't understand why the empath would do something for her. Every time Devika did something she felt like she was expected to do something in return. Unfortunately she had no idea what she could offer the empath. She also didn't want to get used to it. It wouldn't last forever.
