Jaden just smiled in response, and wiped his eyes.
"Heh." he chuckled.
"Thanks." he said again.
He was then silent, and yawned slightly.
"Hm." he mumbled.
"Either I should go to bed, or go outside again." he said.
"I either need sleep or to keep myself occupied." he reasoned.
"There anything around that needs to be done?" he asked them.

Quiet! Lady Luna is speaking!- - - -
Demitra was silent for a moment before shrugging.
"Come chop up some firewood with me." She said.
"We're running low." She added, not that it was a suprrising. There was almost always a fire going in that place, as Jaden learned quickly.

- - - -All right, she is finished. You may speak again.
Jaden nodded in response.
"All right." he replied, standing up.
"Guess... I should put this back." he then said, looking at the sword.
"It's too dull to chop wood... not that it should be used for that, anyway." he reasoned quietly.
He then continued to stare at the blade for another few seconds, almost fixated by it, before he shook himself back to reality, and put the sword back in the box.

"You already have a start as well." Racquel commented.
"You can wield an axe pretty well." She then said.
"A sword is a lot lighter, and it will take some effort to learn the difference for how to balance yourself, but you have a start."

Jaden nodded.
"All right." he replied.
"Yeah, that makes sense." he said.
He then sighed, and set the box back down.
"Well... guess it's time to chop wood." he commented.
"And anticipate what will happen tomorrow."
"All right." he replied.

"You do that, Jaden." Racquel said. Demitra just sighed lightly.
"We'll have to wait and see. Although it's just blade sharpening, shouldn't be too difficult, I don't think." Demitra added.
"Depends on if the blade accepts him to sharpen it." was Racquel response before she got to her feet.
"I need to work on dinner. You two, play nice."

"........" Jaden was silent, before making his way to Demitra.
"Well, let's go." he said.
"We need to go chop wood." he said further.
"Oh." he then muttered, before looking at Racquel.
"What IS for dinner?" he asked.
"Well, let's go." he said.

"Something I picked up while I was last in Italy." Racquel answered after a moment. It was all she gave fgor an answer, too.

Some time later, the sunb had melted almost all the snow, and the temperature was warming up - nopt that the three there really needed it. Racquel stood outside, looking at what they had just finished. Her hair was tied back and she was filthy.
"And we're finally done." She said with a chuckle.
"Good." She'd stayed up all night to finish it off while Demitra and Jaden slept.

Meanwhile, inside, Jaden was tossing and turning in his sleep.
He was trapped in a nightmare that seemed to go all over the place, but it always seemed to include the sword that Demitra had given him.
There were parts where the blade was trying to cut him in half, parts where the blade seemed to pierce through his soul, parts where he found himself trapped in the box that housed the blade, but he always heard laughter.
Mocking laughter that seemed to have a condescending tone to it... an always... always, the word 'soul' echoed around him.
He then finally was jolted awake with a loud yelp, before sitting up and breathing heavily.
He looked over to the closed box that contained the blade, and could only stare at it in silence.

Hours later, when he finally surfaced, he found no one in the house. He made his way through the house and outside, to find Demitra with her mother. They were sitting nearby, with the former on a large rock and sharpening her sword, while the other was sitting in the grass.
"Oh! Good Morning Jaden!" Racquel called over. Demitra looked over before waving and returning to what she was doing. Her movements seemed almost perfect. She knew what she was doing, and this wasn't something new.
Jaden could tell that what she had in her hand, what she was using to sharpen the metal, was something that had been used. A lot.

"...." Jaden was silent as he witnessed this, before thinking for a moment.
"One second!" he called to her.
He then made his way back into the house, made a grab for the box that had the sword in it, before freezing momentarily. He then quickly grabbed the box, and made his way back outside, over to where Demitra and Racquel were.
"Good morning." he replied politely.
"How are you?" he asked them.
"One second!" he called to her.

Quiet! Lady Luna is speaking!- - - -
Racquel just laughed lightly.
"Look over there." She said, motioning to behind him. When he would turn to look, he'd see that the room that they had been working to add was finished, and looked as if it had been there from the start.

Jaden looked over at the room, and his eyes widened.
"Wow..." he said.
"It's... it's seamless." he commented.
"It's impossible to know that that's new." he told her.
"Seriously. It's... it's truly amazing."
"Wow..." he said.

"We're good at what we do." Demitra said after a moment or two.
"If you can't tell, of course." She added.
"Want to see the inside?" Racquel then asked, her voice curious

Jaden nodded.
"Yeah!" he replied.
"I do." he said.
"That'd be nice." he told them further.
He then looked at the box, and bit his lip some.
He wasn't going to tell them about the nightmare. Not yet, anyway. It could have just been a random nightmare, for all he knew.
"Yeah!" he replied.
"I do." he said.

Demitra looked toward Jaden with his hesitation, before smirking lightly. Racquel, on the other hand, got to her feet.
"Come! Let's go see it." She said with a smile before heading on after Jaden agreed.
They reached the door and Racquel paused a moment before stepping back.
"Go on. Go in and check it out."

Jaden was silent as Racquel said what she did.
"Right." he said.
He then looked at the door, and grabbed the knob of it.
'Wonder what it looks like...' he thought.
'Only one way to find out...' he realized.
With that, he opened the door... and looked inside.
"Right." he said.

The room inside was quite sparse, but large as well. There was somewhere for him to sleep, and sit to just think if he wished it, but the bulk of the room was somewhere that he could entertain himself in one way or another.
As was shown by the very heavy bags of dirt in the corner.
They would be perfect for him to beat on if he decided he wished to.

"Wow!" Jaden exclaimed.
"This is awesome!" he said.
He was then silent, and stepped inside further, looking around at it.
His mind returned to the room he'd had before. The life he'd had before. And a few tears streamed down his face. He sniffled quietly, before wiping his eyes with his arm.
"Thank you." he said.
"Thank you so much."
"This is awesome!" he said.

Racquel ust smiled softly.
[b"You're quite welcome Jaden."[/b] She said.
"You're a big part of why this room is here for you." She added after a few seconds. "If you weren't here to help build it, we wouldn't have hurried to add another room to this home."
