I empathize with you, I really do. People sometimes just get caught up in things without warning, spell caster's try to prevent these things though. Nym's eyes fluttered for a moment John, where's your daughter? Don't be alarmed, she'll be okay, but I need to know to keep her that way. I have a sense of something and I need to be sure she's safe Nym's eyes were kind, she was also attempting to dispel any anguish that might rise
John frowns at the sudden question and answers without delay "My daughter is a home and sleeping… " Johns breathing is coming fast and he feels like the walls were closing in on him and stands up rushes to the kitchen. He then fumbles with turning the sink on, feeling panicked and rushed. And is unaware that he is crying as he is doing this
Nym stands and within second is n the kitchen I'm sorry to worry you, you're daughter is fine. I promise. She hesitantly placed a hand on his back and gently rubbed in small circles, occasionally she would flinch from the change of emotions in John
John splashes his face with water and calms himself down then whispers softly "I know she is fine….I am just upset upon learning that my favorite little kid was killed. It is sort of surreal and reminds me that my job is important. That no matter how badly I want to ….I cant give up just because it is hard. " john turns the sink water off and turns to face Nym and smiles slightly "I'm sorry for being dramatic Nym…..So how were you planning to spend the night? " John winces and hopes what he said didnt sound too creepy or seem like a jerk changing the subject quickly and sheepishly looks away
Nym just smiled at his question Ice cream and TV, I don't do much at all at any time. Unless I have caster stuff to do.
John frowns feeling his curiosity press but ignores it and steps around Nym and walks back to the living room Well if you are going to be busy with that. I will leave and maybe see you tomorrow Nym , unless you want me to stay here and keep you company?
Wait, you're curious. You can't get anything past me. Nym chuckled If you wanna stay you can, but you also have a daughter at home so I won't keep you unless you want to stay. My home is always open to you and her.
Jackie rushed home and tried desperately to fall asleep. "Today was a crazy day," she thought to herself. "But tomorrow is a fresh start."
John laughs and covers his face to hide his smile Its seems I will never be able to keep things from you huh. I suppose I will stay and keep you company for at least a movie or something of your choice. And thank you for ….talking with me …..Havent had something like that in a long time
Nym laughed with him Not my choice, yours, the self over there is full of movies. She pointed to a built-in bookshelf by the TV Have you eaten?
John shook his head as he got up and browsed the movies "No…I havent eaten all day. I had a very busy day and forgot to eat" John then picked out a movie and put it in and smiled then turns around and looks at Nym "So how does your power lineage work? "
Nym walked into the kitchen Anything specific you want? She browses through the fridge What do you mean? She looked in the pantry with a confused look
What I mean is how did you aquire that intuition power? Did it take you long to find out you had it? Or did it happen randomly one day and you inherited it. John then stops and ponders for a long moment No I'm not hungry Nym.
Oh, that's what you mean. Well, the abilities are usually different from the parents of the offspring. How I obtained this was a ritual when I was too young to remember, but the intuition isn't the only part to the ability. Nym turns to him with a confident look You need something on your stomach. I don't care if you are immortal, food is great.
(I'll be back when it's the next day in the story.)
John pauses and stares at her completely surprised she even knew that " How did you know I was immortal? And wow …that is quite intriguing! I have never met someone like that before in my lifetime." John then reaches around her and grabs an apple and smiles "If you insist then I will eat …" John makes a sad pout face and whines in mock sadness
Erm, I said the intuition isn't the only thing. Nym looks down at the floor nervous You might've, but we don't usually tell people unless we have to. looks up Fine, I did say something. Smiles her crooked smile
John laughs loudly then leans in and whispers softly "I also have powers too , you dont need to be nervous Nym. Powers are a rare and lovely gift for someone and I think you`re are quite amazing even with or without powers !" john then turns and strides back into the living room and calls over his shoulder " Come on , I dont want you to miss the movie.
Nym looks down and blushes bright red Coming she slowly walks to the living room and sits on the couch
As Jackie lays in her bed she starts to realize her feelings for John. She didn't even need to ask to know it wasn't mutual. She was pretty sure he was in a relationship with that pretty girl. Why else would he be hugging her in her house? Jackie sighed deeply and fell asleep thinking about her messy little life and wondering how that girl who almost got run over was doing.
John leans on the arm of the couch as he is sitting on it and smiles to himself knowing he hasnt had a relaxing hangout with someone in a long time. And he thoroughly enjoys the movie and occasionally glances over at Nym as she watches as well
Subconsciously Nym chewed on the inside of her lip. She was nervous because of the emotions in the air. She looked over at John Can I ask a question, kinda thing?
john looks over at nym and nods in encouragement Yes you can ask me anything Nym
Can I try something Nym froze instantly, turned bright red again, spoke rapidly Wait, that sounded straight forward. I mean along the lines of my abilities. I'm still exploring them. I promise I won't hurt you
John laughed at her accidental innuendo then nods his head and smiles "Yes by all means, anything to help your abilities. I know it can be hard sometimes and confusing, at least for me it was"
