She nodded slowly. "If I've done anything…"

He looked down again. "You've done nothing wrong.."

"Do you want me to stay, or go?" she asked quietly.

"Stay…?" He mumbled.

"Alright," she said softly. "I'll stay." She set the basket on a chair and walked over behind him to massage his shoulders and back again.

He leaned his head back against her stomach and shut his eyes.

Pierre tensed and raised his gun, fear tearing through him.

The first enemy gunshot fired from the opposite side of the camp, and then chaos burst like a bubble.

Bullets flew, shouts reverberated through the field. Pierre fired and dodged, already stepping over slumped bodies. His heart pounded.

"No! No!" Pierre heard the last bloody screams of a full grown man. A man who loved his own Edonine somewhere, who had fallen in love as quickly, and died quicker.

He leaned his head back against her stomach and shut his eyes.

She smiled and moved one of her hands to smooth his hair gently.

Oh.. Jane always knew how to get to him. It made John feel better, a little, it was easier to forget when she was right there. It was easier to focus on her touch than his own thoughts.

"Are you feeling better?" she asked softly.

"A little…" He replied softly.

"Would you like me to pour you more wine?" Her hands moved back down to his shoulders.

"Yes.. yes, please," he tilted his head back and peered up at her.

She kissed his forehead. "Alright, hold on a second." She walked around and refilled his glass.

He kept his eyes on her. Maybe it would blow over soon..

She handed it to him and smiled. "Here you are."

He lifted it to his mouth to take a generous swallow.

"When should we give Chadine her gift?" Jane asked softly.

"Later," John insisted.

"Alright," she murmured, going back behind him and massaging his shoulder again.

His head fell back again, his eyes slipped shut. "Mm.."

She smiled sweetly and did it in a way that she knew he liked.

"Where'd you learn shoulder massaging?" John laughed quietly.
