Snippet #1606904

Jayze Gokuen]

Jayze walked alongside Naverine until she stopped and fell back. It took him a moment or two to realize it, but once he heard her voice, low and soft and hardly audible, he paused and looked back at her in confusion. Was she...confessing something to him right now? What she was saying was certainly weird, but somehow...he felt like he could make a connection. It was strange, but seeing her act so much more open, made him happier. For once, he remained silent and waited patiently for her mini rampage to end. "Teach me..... I don't want to be alone." His eyes widened. Okay, a big confession. She's a softy on the inside, he thought with a straight face. It's nice.

He frowned suddenly, however, when a thought struck him. But...she's saying all this for nothing. She thinks I'm stronger than her. But that's not right. What she saw could of been done by anybody... His expression went downcast as he stared at the ground. I let her down just now. How am I going to show her my 'trick' when it wasn't really me? He sighed and glanced back as Naverine snapped out of it, seemingly going into a momentary state of shock, pushing him forward. He laughed halfheartedly, but the closer he got to the training area, the more nervous he got. "I, um, Naverine, I need to tell you something..." he trailed off, not sure how he should say it. He really enjoyed seeing her so reliant on him. It was a nice change in pace. It'd be hard to ruin all that. She would hate him.

When they reached the training area, Jayze spotted Candice nearby and waved to her, grinning. The grin was half-forced, though, as they stood in the room. What am I gonna do? She's going to figure it out. He gulped. "U-uhm, Naverine, you know, maybe I'm not as... That trick was sort of a..." No matter how he thought of it, he couldn't figure a way to say it properly where she wouldn't hate him. Eventually, he bit down on his tongue and just stood there, waiting for her to start the training process.
