Thanks  

She stiffened at first, not sure what to do. She wasn’t really used to being hugged. 

But it felt really nice… 

So she wrapped her arms around him and held on tightly, feeling tears trickle down her cheeks. 

aw

He whispered in her ear. "Let me help you. Please."

"Long answer would be nice."

Peter half-frowned. “Are you sure?”

Peter half-frowned. “Are you sure?”

"I don't really care. What I don't want is some sort of demon from your past coming and hurting my friends, because you failed to elaborate on them. Okay?"

“Oh, you don’t have to worry about that. I only have one. Ana, though…. well, she’s got… more. None of them are tangible things, though, and we shouldn’t be a problem. Unless her magic goes all haywire again.”

"Will they try to hurt my friends?" Cricket said, crossing his arms.

"Good. So... what's your story, then?"

“Well, both of us got whisked out of our normal lives to this weird, crazy, magic school for heroes. They gave us magic, put us through a lot of hell, challenged and trained us, blah blah blah, but Ana couldn’t take it anymore and used her power to escape. She was running for a long time, and I got recruited to bring her back. Then things started going mad and her boyfriend broke up with her, and she left again. I came with her, cuz she needs a friend. And things were changing. It wasn’t the same.” He shrugged. “That’s the short version.”

He whispered in her ear. "Let me help you. Please."

She sniffled. “I don’t need help,” she protested. 

Or… at least, she wasn’t supposed to. 

But she did, apparently. She was scared.

"That's... not that very good." he said briefly. "Sounds like a hard time."

“Of course.” 

He kinda had to be, after all.

“He started screaming,” Aden said. “I don’t know.”

. . . Are you sure? she asked, remembering their conversation from earlier.

"But he didn't get violent or anything?"

He… he probably could, actually. He was an Ennuller, right? 

But she didn’t need help. She didn’t need anyone! 

Yes I do. Because I’m not strong enough. 

I’m not strong enough. 

She nodded against his shoulder. “Okay,” she whispered.

Ria scowled at the scanny mcthingie. “That’s… oh, gracious.”

He groaned. The ringing was loud, but it slowly began to fade out and his hearing faded in and out

“You’re half mechanical, man,” she told him. “Your hearing… malfunctioned.”

Ria and Aden glanced at each other, not sure what to do. 

“Well…” Ria said. “I’d like to take a couple more in-depth scans, if you wouldn’t mind…”

Rose would have been offended. But she wasn’t there.

He looked over at her, already annoyed. "Remember the deal I made." he said, trying to stand and falling. "Can someone help me up?"
