"Can we go inside?" Rayna's voice was small, her body shivered. Koby nodded, placing a hand on the small of her back and guiding her inside. It was warm inside, the home very warm in colour - lots of browns and oranges, a splash of red on a pillow or a chair. "Did you want anything? A warm drink or something?" Koby offered, showing her to the lounge room where a large sofa bed awaited where Koby had previously laid on, playing his video games. Rayna nodded slowly, looking at the couch and back at him. Koby's eyes narrowed a smile playing on his lips, "Rayna, is fine," He nodded his head, "You're here because Jake's pissed you off, not because you want to be here," He said, shrugging while he walked into his small kitchen. The house was nice. It was great for Koby, everything was big and small enough for him to inhabit.

In the kitchen, Koby made up a warm beverage for Rayna, hot cocoa. It smelt warm and frothy, and rich and chocolatey. Koby loved hot cocoa's. He walked back into the lounge, careful not to spill Rayna's drink. He found Rayna with her knees brought up to her chest sitting in the corner of the sofa bed. He handed her the drink carefully, her eyes looking as if they were analyzing everything. "I didn't spike it..." Koby joked half-heartedly. He took a seat in the recliner chair that was placed beside the sofa, but too far for Koby to touch her, or give her comfort. He hoped his very presence had given her comfort, for the fact the place was quiet and lit appropriately, he also hoped she knew he wouldn't do anything this time.

The storm outside was low like a bass, the house creaking slightly under the pressure, but not as violent as the previous one weeks before. The rain battered outside on the windows, making the house cooler than it usually was. "You going to tell me what happened...or do I have to guess?" Koby raised his eye brows, crossing his arms over his chest as he reclined back in the chair. He still wouldn't look at her face, or her eyes. He didn't want to create a fuss about something so simple.
