Ace Tyrant
"It's okay Ace, and..."
"Just a couple puncture wounds don't need bandaging or anything like that. I'm fine, and if you need me I'll be out here... On the roof..."
Ace was left with his mouth hanging open and his body frozen as she headed to the roof like usual. He felt utterly useless once more. Of course Ember had always been the type to deny help, especially from someone a good amount weaker than her. Still he was rather disappointed. As horrible as this sounded Ace was actually hoping to try and gain some affection from her. He was growing rather desperate to experience something similar to what he had with Jennifer all these years ago, even if it was from another woman who was more like Jenn than Jenn currently was himself. It did not even have to be something all that special, just some conversation and company would have sufficed.
He pushed the supplies back into the cupboard before organizing them carefully and heading elsewhere.
"Where do you want me?"
"I will listen. Tell me where to go."
"You are killing me you know that?" Ace said, his tone coming out rather darkly. He could not bare to so much as meet his pupils with the stranger of a woman ahead of him. He felt his heart hammer fast in his chest as she clutched at his shirt tightly, almost seeming like she was fearful. The blonde mans eyes became glassy as he let out a loud sight and bowed his head. "Come with me." He ordered, as this seemed to be exactly what she wanted.
He lead her through the house, popping his head around the corner into the living room to see Owsla and Oreron falling into their dreams. They looked so much more peaceful like this than usual. "Goodnight." Ace whispered, incase either of them were still half awake. He wondered if Owsla would reclaim her job as his living alarm clock in the morning. He begged the Gods that she would not.
Ace then took the raven haired woman to the spare bedroom and opened the door. Sure enough it was small but very clean, well decorated, and cosy. "Jenn get some rest here. I am in the room next door so if you need anything wake me up okay?" He explained to her kindly, but their eyes still never met. "I um..." Ace paused for a second deciding on his words, but still everything seemed to come out wrong. "Please look back through your memories and see if you can remember me? It's just...I...never mind. Sleep well." He stammered, shuffling about on his feet. One third of him wanted to give her a hug, the second third was yelling at him saying that it would be taking advantage of her in this naive state, and the last part was causing him to question whether or not he even wanted to, because was Jenn even his Jenn anymore. At the moment she was not who he once loved. He hated admitting it but it was fact. Plus even if she remembered it would be unlikely she accepted any affection anyway. So Ace just left and headed to his own room murmuring a awkward goodnight.

The sun blazed through the cabins windows and peeked through the curtains but Ace still lay in bed with the covers and his bed shirt tossed onto the floor due to the nasty heat in the night. He was still half asleep but sensitive to noise and movement. The male did not snore but often let out annoying noises of sharp intakes of breath and soft groans.
