Desiree was about to shake her head, before pausing. Having a vehicle thrown onto her had really done some damage. Whiel there, she'd been checked over and it was determined that she most likely wasn't in any serious danger of anything, but that didn't mean she felt good.

"..... h-h-h0headach-che." She answered after a moment. She wanted to say more, specifically regarding how it was that she was most certainly too young to be home alone. There was no way for her to know whow ould end up watching over her while Marcus was in the hospital, but was sure that someone woudl be asxked.... otherwise there'd be legal, and probably serious legal, repercussions to him.

She had no idea how to ask though.

"I'll get you some medicine for it." Rene replied.

He then sighed quietly, and shook his head.

"And that brings me to a prickly situation of your schooling." he told her. "Obviously you're faring a LOT better than your father, so you'll need to be discharged soon." he reasoned.

"However, you very well cannot be home alone. That is unacceptable." he reasoned further.

"Tell me, are you and your father friends with anyone that could take care of you while he's still here?" he asked her.

Desiree shook her head. She didn't know of any those that Marcus worked with, she didn't really really know them, hadn't really had any situation where she'd been able to learn who they were.

"I... I d-d-d-don't kn-know..." She said quietly after a moment or two. There was something to her voice as she said that, as well. It was more than a little true, she had absolutely no clue.

"Hm." Rene muttered.

"I see." hs said.

"...then it can't be helped." he went on. "I'LL take you in." he said.

"...eh?" Marcus muttered.

"Wait..." Rene then said. "Wait... no, I'll be away too much, I can't use up THAT many sick days, and my vacation days have been alotted already..." he went on.

He was then silent for a moment, before snapping his fingers.

"Ah!" he said.

"I might know someone that can help in this situation." he told them. "I'll make the call and then let you know what they say." he went on.

Desiree didn't say anything, but she did nod, knowing that there was no way around it. She had just wait and find out what was going to happen.

She was sure that Marcus wasn't happy about it either, though.

---

She sighed before calling her son, knowing that there would be a decent chance of him not being the mos impressed with her for this.

"Yo, Jaden, I need someone to watch an eleven year odl girl. Where are you?" She asked, as usual, not asking if he was willing to help. He knew she'd let him back out if need be, but he was her first choice.

"Woah, wait, what?" she heard the voice on the other end ask.

"Watch an eleven-year-old girl, whaddya mean?" he asked.

"First of all, where am I? I'm at home." he told her. "I've got some down time for a bit, so... I mean... your call couldn't have come at a more opportune time, I suppose..." he went on.

"But... you mean... like, a babysitting job?" he then asked her.

"I need some more details here, Mom."

She just laughed lightly.

"I do mean babysitting." She told him.

"The girl is a mage, and is the daughter of a newly turned lycan." She continued. "Someone who works with Hollie, will be working with the Triad now due to the genetic change."

"said man is also stuck in the hospital for a few days at least. So again, she's alone and needs someone to keep an eye out for her."

"......." Jaden was silent when he heard that.

"I... see." he said.

"That sounds like something out of a damned mage soap opera." he commented.

"But how can I say no to a situation like THAT?" he then asked rhetorically. "And yes, that IS me saying 'yes' to this." he quickly clarified.

"...how's this going down?" he asked. "Where am I going, and when?" he asked further.

She just laughed.

"You'll have to pick her up from the hospital. I don't think Rene will allow her to head home without someone." She told him before making sure he had all the information.

"You got that?"

"Got it." Jaden replied.

"Get there ASAP, I assume?" he asked.

"Yep." she replied.

After about 15 minutes or so, Rene poked his head in through the door once more, where Marcus and Desiree were.

"Hey." he said.

"Good news." he said further. "I've found someone that can take care of Desiree for the time being." he told them.

Desiree was silent before looking over. She waved to Rene, but had a bit of a quizzical look on her face.

". . . oh?" She asked. It wasn't hard to tell that it took several attempts to get that out though.

"Wh-wh-who?" She asked, her voice curious.

Rene looked back out the door when she asked.

"You're on." he said.

He then withdrew his head from the door, and in walked a rather thin male. He was dressed in a grey tee-shirt, black jeans, and black knit hat... with blonde bangs sticking out. He was also pale, and both Desiree and Marcus could see him for what he was.

He also paused for a moment, almost frozen in place, before shaking his head.

"Ah, hello." he greeted them.

"Name's Jaden." he introduced himself.

Desiree didn't say anything for a moment, was wondering what the hell it was that she could see, before sighing.

"D-d-d-d-...." She paused, growling lightly. It wasn't unknown between her and Marcus that her stutter bothered the hell out of her.

"D.... Desiree." She managed to get out carefully, slowly. She had needed to take more time than she was sure was normal, but she managed to get it out in the end, at least.

"....." Jaden was silent for a moment, before clearing his throat slightly.

"Hey." he greeted her.

"Marcus McCormick." Marcus introduced himself.

"Ah, Sherwood's mine." Jaden said.

"...as in the Sydney Sherwood, one of the Triad heads?" Marcus asked him.

"....yeah." Jaden confirmed. "I'm her son." he informed him.

"Heh." Marcus chuckled.

"Desiree, I think you're in good hands." he told his daughter confidently.

Desiree was silent for a moment before nodding.

"Ok-k-kay." She said.

"I.... if y-y-y-you t-trust him the-th-then I w-w-w-will t-t-t-t-t-t-t-too."

Both Jaden and Marcus were silent as Desiree stuttered out her responded.

'Hm.' Marcus thought.

'Maybe some speech therapy might be a wise investment.' he thought further, as Jaden made his way towards the girl.

"Regardless, perhaps we should leave soon." he said to her.

"Try to get you back into the swing of things."

Desiree was silent for a moment before nodding. She didn't say anything, really wasn't entirely sure she could without stuttering badly, as she normally did.

She got to her feet, gave Marcus a hug, made him promise not to die, before approaching Jaden.

"l-l-let's g-g-g-go then." She said after a moment or two.

Marcus returned the hug, assuring Desiree that he wasn't going anywhere.

"Take good care of her." he said to Jaden.

"The best." Jaden responded with.

With that, the two of them left the room, and Rene properly checked her out of the hospital. Once it had all been taken care of, the two of them stepped outside.

"Hungry?" he asked her.

"Want something to eat before heading home?" he asked further.

Desiree was silent for a moment before nodding.

"I... I c-c-c-could eat." She answered honestly.

"Th-thanks..." She added. That was on word she had less difficulty with, it seemed, for whatever reason.

"D... Do y-you kn-kn-n-n-now wh-where I l-l-live?" she then asked, her voice curious.

".........." Jaden was silent for a moment, before smacking his forehead.

"I do not." he said.

"You'll need to tell me." he told her.

"I can use my mana to get us there, but I need to know the location." he said further with a small laugh.

"And what do you want to eat?" he asked.
