Jane smiled at Mirabelle, thankful to whoever helped her this morning into her dress and cloak. Jane appreciated the color of the dress Mirabelle chose, but wasn't sure if she was a fan of the length of it. Longer dresses were always a trouble to deal with. Jane wasn't sure of what she was hearing until Mirabelle began to speak. She wasn't sure whether she was supposed to listen or pretend like she wasn't there like some masters required their servants to do.
Mirabelle spoke of her love of her older brother, Reiji, of when she had been tortured. Jane's stomach dropped and her ducked head went even lower if possible. She felt like she was intruding on a moment that was only meant for her and Demetri, not for Jane whatsoever. She spoke of her nightmares and how she wished the family to be together again. Jane understood why she would speak of such things only to one or so person, as what she stated was horrific.
Demetri never interrupted, instead, speaking to clarify or make his listening known. Jane was hearing so much that she had never imagined. This family was as broken as any and just hid it from those that looked to them for care and help. She wondered who could have done these things to break this family, realizing only then that this family must have had more enemies than Jane had originally thought. It was a scary thought to know that this family was so broken and that they had enemies that could cause them such pain when they all cared for each other so, even if they did bicker and fight like siblings, it was only because they were siblings.
Jane didn't admit her fears as she sat, fiddling with a piece of her skirts. She looked up at Demetri and then down again, hoping to see what he was thinking but she looked down to quickly to see his response. When Mirabelle practically leaped into Demetri's arms, Jane felt more like an intruder more than ever before. She looked down awkwardly, then out the window yet again, unsure what to do.
When she looked back, Demetri smiled at her and she felt her cheeks flush. Why was she being like those girls in town who constantly giggled when the young lads winked at them? When he ushered for her to join, she gave him a confused look with a tilt of her head. Why was he so nice to her and so different than his siblings? She let out a laugh when Demetri said there was enough of him to go around, finding it entirely amusing. She wasn't sure why she wanted to, but she wanted to comfort Mirabelle as well, as if she were her younger sister.
"Very well, but for lady Belle," Jane stated as she gave a wink at her joy in remembering the title. She moved to sit on the side Mirabelle was not, but didn't lean into Demetri as much as she wanted to, instead, hesitantly, hugging Mirabelle across from Demetri. "Ms.Belle, I'm here for you as well," She stated softly as she ran a hand to undo a small tangle at the end of the girls hair.
She was suddenly aware of how close she was to Demetri, having only wanted to comfort Mirabelle, she hadn't realized how close they were. She flushed and tried to avoid touching him as much as she could, not wanting to seem inappropriate even though she did want to hug him too possibly... She wasn't sure what she wanted and his looks and words only made her more and more confused.
