Addison nodded. she leaned back on her heels and finally let the breath she was holding out. "You scared me!" She exclaimed softly.

Jay chuckled. "I appreciate the sentiment, really, but you really shouldn't bother." He looked off to the side, smile gone. "No one has in a long time."
Tears sprang to Addison's eyes. "Well get used to it." She said softly, but with a firm and fierce and almost protective undertone.
Jay turned to her, bolting up. "Wait, no no no no no don't cry! I just, I…"
Addison gave him a small smile. "Relax Jay. I'm just a really big softy."
Jay couldn't stop himself from smiling as well. "I wish I had more people like you around when I went missing."
(This is so great! I gotta sign off for tonight, see [or I guess read] y'all tomorrow!]
“… wait you went missing?”
(see ya!)
Addison put her hand on his shoulder. "I'm sorry that you had to go through what you did." She said. Then she transmitted, I'm sorry. I'm still learning how to comfort people.
Jasmine stands up. "I'm gonna go back in that cave."
Jay sighed and looked down at his hands. "Yeah. I, uh. I was 12. I went exploring in the forest with my sister, and I got lost. I just kept wandering, and, um. I was technically killed. That was when Cyprus hijacked my body and ran around wearing me like a suit for a year." He wiggled his metal leg a little. "He's the reason I'm a whole lot of nuts and bolts."
Addison nodded. Nothing seemed to faze her. Yet, she was pretty accepting of differences.
“Oh.” Lucille frowned, she patted him on the head and went to the others.
Jay stood up. "Well, enough touchy-feely for one day! Let's go back to figuring out whatever ridiculousness is in that cave!"
"NO!!!" Addi shot up, terrified. "No one goes into that cave until we can figure out what happened."
"We already know! Cyprus used it as a distraction to try and take me over! I'm sure there's nothing really dangerous in there."
"Are you sure? What about the warnings on the cave walls?"
Addi shook her head. "Guys the words………………….they were warnings. If we go in there again………………." She couldn't bring herself to say it.
"We NEED to though Addison. We could find something important in there."
"Maybe I can sonar the cave?" Jay suggested
"Jasmine…………………………………………..that cave is literally called 'Death's Lair'."
"Well in my opinion, it's no 'Death's Lair' unless there's an angry two headed dragon hiding in it somewhere."
"That's pretty much what Katuku is. But………………….scarier."
"I don't care. I'm going back in."
