"......." Jaden was silent, before sighing heavily and creating a portal near him. He then reached in and pulled out some tissues and some hydrogen peroxide, showing that he'd created a portal to the bathroom. He then grabbed some bandages and medical wraps, before looking at her again.
"Hey." he said, mouthing the word.
"This will sting, but it needs to be done." he told her.
"Don't want things to get infected."

Jaden was silent, before setting the blade down against the wall outside her room, and making his way inside. He walked over towards her, but stopped and sat down on her bed, looking at her.
"Hey..." he said.
"How are you doing?" he asked.
"I heard that something happened, and it wasn't nice." he then told her.

"................" Jaden was silent as he heard what had happened, and he felt his rage start to build, before he forced himself to calm down.
"I see." he said.
"Well... I'll talk to her." he told her.
"I'll see how she's doing, and I'll let you know." he continued, before making sure her contact info was correct.
He then wondered what to do, before he noticed the sword he had been sharpening, and the gears in his head started to turn a little. They ended the conversation, and he made his way back to Desiree's room, knocking again.
"Hey, I'm popping my head in." he told her, before gently opening the door and doing so.
"I see." he said.

"......huh?" he muttered, upon swearing he heard a cry or two.
'...what the...?' he thought, before getting up and making his way towards Desiree's room, where he saw that her door was shut.
"......" he was silent, before knocking on the door.
"Desiree?" he called in.
"You all right?" he asked.

".........." Jaden was silent, before sighing heavily.
"I see." he said.
"Well... I... that's..." he muttered, shaking his head.
"That's just... I have no words." he commented.
"...at least your father did the right thing, taking you away." he then said further.

"....huh." Jaden muttered.
"That is... well, a fluke that makes mana active in a child is not unheard of, but from a child between a hunter and a human...? This is... truly a twist of fate." he commented.
"...a rather complicated one, too." he then commented.
He was silent again, before looking at her once more, but then quickly looking back down at the paper, her gaze seemingly piercing right through him.
"....and those scars I saw on your face..." he went on.
"I can only assume there's a very unpleasant story behind them." he added, handing her the notepad back.

"....." Jaden was silent again, before sniffing the air.
"But..." he said, trailing off some.
"But you have mana as well." he commented.
"........." he was then silent again, before shaking his head, forcing himself to look away from the eye that seemed to have trapped him in its gaze, and thought.
"I..." he stammered, but stopped again.
"Was... was your mother a mage?" he finally asked her.

"Just an hour." Aly replied.
"It's still early afternoon." she told him.
"You weren't asleep for that long." she went on.
"Are you all right?" she asked. "How are you feeling?"

Jaden seemed almost paralysed when he was looking into her eye, but managed to take the pad of paper, and looked at everything that was there.
And there was a lot. Seems she had full days.
"......." he was silent as he studied the list, before it came to him.
Why he was feeling the way he was feeling.
'...feel like I'm being judged...' echoed through his mind.
"...the Judging Eye..." he whispered aloud, before he looked up and found himself staring into it once more.

Jaden's eyes widened as he saw what he did... and his brain tried to process everything that he was seeing.
The nearly white eye, the scars that were no longer hidden, and this piercing feeling he felt.
"....." he was silent, before shaking his head slightly.
'What the hell?' he thought.
'Those scars... that eye... this feeling...' he went on, before leaning forward and looking at the floor to compose himself.
'...I feel like I'm being judged.'

".....damn." he muttered.
"This is hella comfy." he said.
"Like, I can easily see someone getting a good night's sleep on this." he went on, before looking at Desiree.
"Right." he said.
"Help me out here." he told her.
"Walk me through your daily routine, before and after school."

Jaden looked at her for a moment, before he nodded.
"Got it." he replied.
He then got up from the chair, and made his way over.
"Let's go." he said.
"I assume you are attempting to refer to a spare room?" he asked.
"Got it." he replied.

Jaden just nodded again and gave a small thumbs-up.
With that, the two of them went to the place that she liked, and he ordered exactly what she wanted, and a small thing for him. With the reasoning that it wouldn't be good for her to go through a portal after having just eaten, they got it to go, found a place where there was nobody, and used another portal to get her home, with Desiree winding up in a similar state.
Jaden just sighed when he saw this, set the food and drinks on a nearby table, and waited for her to get back up to par again.
'...I need to remember that my portals are rough for others.' he thought.

Again, Jaden was silent, before sighing.
Come on, then. Let's grab some food and then get you home. he typed up, before pausing.
Also, given what just happened with my portals, would you prefer to cab it home? It'd be nothing for me to cover it, regardless of where it is. he typed further, before pausing once more.
Actually, do you live in the city? he then added, before handing it to her.
