No Regrets for a Dying Man

Sonori knew her sister was in good hands with Tess so she decided to give the girl a bit of privacy with Yule. She turned to Eve with a smile. "I Sonori." she said pointing at herself. "You outsider." it was more of a statement than a question. She hoped that someone, anyone would show up to translate while her sister was gone.

"I'm Eve, nice to meet you Sonori." she greeted with a bright cheerful smile,

"Sonori?" Came a voice from the door and it happened to be no one other but the man of her dreams, Path, who blinked confused as to what was going on, "What are you doing here? Did Monomi run off again?"

Sonori felt her heart flutter a bit, but didn't let it show on her face. She nodded and responded. "Yule was....attacked again and Eve brought him back here and Monomi followed her." she told with a frown, she hated that the others sometimes attacked Yule.

Eve stared at the two with a dumb smile on her face since she had absolutly no idea what they were saying.

Path frowned, figuring that was what happened. Monomi always followed Yule when he got hurt, either by himself or by someone else, and she always did so for a long as he knew of. Path knew that Monomi liked Yule from the moment they met, he remembered always running into her before she ran off again, with her sister following not too far behind. "I am sorry about Yule...."

Sonori nodded with a small frown. "It isn't your fault Path. I just wish i could help him.....i hate seeing anything happen to him." she said softly, her pink eyes averted to the ground as she crossed her arms loosely over her stomach. "It's cruel what they do to him." Eve decided that it was her time to take off so she went to go find Jack and check on him.

Jack was worried, to put it lightly.

Ever since he had lied to Eve about what he saw, he had been hearing his father's voice, as clear as if he were there. It disturbed him for the very fact that it felt as though he was there too and his shoulder where the Mark was burned slightly. His mind was trying to figure out some logical answer as to how it was possible and the only reason he came with sent shivers down his spine.

He had been jolted from his thoughts to the sounds of footsteps and shouting, he frowned slightly as he wondered what was going on but he couldn't move out of bed to check. He couldn't understand what was being said but Tess and Eve seemed to be upset about something that had to do with Yule. He wondered if he was hurt or if maybe he was lost or got into trouble, Jack didn't know and hated to be out of the loop.

The sounds of a door opening made his eyes cast over to Eve, seeming to be checking up on him. He gave her a smile, "I am fine, if you are wondering, what exactly is going on?"

Eve was taken a bit by surprised when Jack spoke the second she walked into the room. "Um, Yule was attacked while we were out. I don't know if it's my place to tell you why he was attacked or not. Just know that he's going to be fine. Tess and the others are tending to him now." she told with a tiny and unsure smile.

Jack only nodded, as if it were nothing new to him which...in reality, it wasn't. He had seen children being attacked, even himself, and was numb to it now. It wasn't as if he didn't care, no, he really did care, it was more that he didn't get mad or upset. It was more...empty...hollow...he couldn't find the right words but it was inhuman, that was for sure. "Why was he attacked?" Jack asked, looking outside the window at the bright blue skies.

Eve was hesitant to say but she began speaking again anyway. "He's an outsider. They don't take kindly to people not from around here." She explained with a frown. She winced at the growing pain in her head. it had been dull up until she walked into the room with Jack.

Jack only nodded again, seeming to be deep in thought. The voice of his father, unfortunately only seemed to grow louder. There were too many words being said, it was driving him nuts, "Of course they would, its forbidden to enter Holy Land without being of blood. There are many other places like it."

Eve's head was pounding. "Yeah, obviously." she muttered. "Can you not talk so loud though? Yelling isn't necessary right now." she continued as she lifted a hand to her head.

"I am not yelling...." He said before snapping his attention to Eve and frowned, "What is wrong? Do you have a headache?" He asked, sounding worried.

Eve nodded, there was a pained look in her eyes. "Yeah, it's like someone's exploding things in my brain." she winced and clutched her head. "Oh frick. what the hell is up head." she muttered and she clenched her eyes shut.

At that moment, Jack didn't really care if he was injured or not. Before Eve could protest, he got out of bed and made his way over to her, grabbing a hold of her wrist with his good hand before dragging her to the bed, "Sit." He said, doing his best to ignore the throbbing at his side and arm. He sat down beside her and once more touched his hands to her head, mumbling ancient words under his breath as he entered her mind.

Eve;s head was in to much pain to care about what was going on but she did manage a light protest. "Jack. stop. you're....injured." she said, her voice strained.

"Hush and relax...." Jack said, slowly pushing his energy into her head to clear away her cluttered thoughts. It felt as though something was trying to push through which he had a vauge idea of what it might be. He couldn't let a memory surface yet, not when they were where they were so Jack slowly pushed back, making sure he didn't hurt her as well. It almost groaned in protest but he had a stronger grip of his power and so slowly but surely, he pushed back the aching force.

Eve winced as he worked, she had no idea what he was doing to her and it worried her. "Stop.....please." she begged softly. It didn't hurt, but she didn't like that he decided that it was his job to mess around with things in her head.

When it was finally far back enough, Jack placed a seal to keep it at its boarder. "I did tell you no...." Jack mumbled as he slowly withdrew his hands but kept his eyes closed, "Your head should feel a bit fuzzy for a day or so but it will pass and the headache will stop."

"I really don't like the idea that you're keeping something from me Jack. What was that?" she questioned, ignoring the fuzziness of her head as she questioned Jack.

Jack flicked her in her forehead and smiled a tired smile, "Not now...I need rest, kay? I will tell you later on. Yule should be waking up soon, you should check up on him."

Eve frowned and nodded. "That young elf girl went to check on him, i should go check on both of them." she muttered before going off to check on the young elf.

Marren, Garn, Path, and Tess were all in the living room while Monomi was still with Yule. They were all talking in Elven, deciding what was to be done. Garn seemed to be the angriest out of everyone, leaving Path having to calm the man down. The mood in the room was dark, hostile, they hated it when the other attacked Yule.

After a minute Sonori spoke up, "We're going to need to have someone with him at all times." she said, in Elven. The tone in her voice was serious, which was rare for the Elven woman. "He needs protection." she said. Eve was still with Yule watching him, making sure he was alright.

“That's true, our people are becoming ever more hostile towards Yule. This is becoming seriously troubling....” Path said through an angry sigh, glaring at the empty fireplace, “We have been lucky so far that no trouble has befallen us...but I fear for the worse.”

Tess frowned, “What do you mean?” She said, concerned, “Our lands are protected.”

“How did Jack become so critically injuired to a point of being within death‛s grasp?” No one spoke, “Can you not feel the tension in the air? Something dark is coming and its setting people on edge, Yule is merely their outlet.”

Marren huffed, “It gives no exscuse...”

“I know, but can one person keep an eye on him for every hour?”
