The Next Generation

[Lady Jenn]

"We'll be okay," Isaac replied. "Marla needs you more than we do, anything else you need before we go?"

[Lawshenk]

" just I am sorry but like I say having strange guys here is scaring me "

[Lady Jenn]

"Don't worry," Isaac said as they headed downstairs. "Like I said, you know how to reach us if you need us, look after Marla, as you can probably tell she's not as strong as she likes to sometimes tell people."

[Lawshenk]

“ who is?”  She smiled " thank for every thing though"

[Lady Jenn]

"Marla," Isaac replied as he opened the door. "She's knocked out and feverish, at the very least it's worth making sure she's alright."

[Lawshenk]

" see you then" she went up to her room"

[Lady Jenn]

Marla had opened her eyes slightly, but hadn't moved otherwise. "Hey..." she said shakily. "I'm sorry I scared you back there."

[Lawshenk]

" I asked the guys to go and I've seen worse"

[Lady Jenn]

"Can I have some water?" she asked, trying to sit up but failing. "I'm feeling way too warm right now."

[Lawshenk]

She moved the duvet " yes off course "

[Lady Jenn]

"I'm sorry I reacted the way I did," she said. "I should've let you explain rather than jumping to conclusions, I'll have to find a way to properly apologise to you at some point."

[Lawshenk]

"I find it hard to love "

[Lady Jenn]

"If it's any consolation I have serious trust issues," she said. "But...that's a very long story for another time."

[Lawshenk]

" mind in I join you in there?"

[Lady Jenn]

"Not at all," she replied, smiling. "It feels lonely being in this bed alone, I'd appreciate that a lot."

[Lawshenk]

She goes round the other side and hugs her, " been a long time"

[Lady Jenn]

"I don't even remember the last time someone snuggled up to me," she said, snuggling up to her. "This was worth the wait though, that's for sure."

[Lawshenk]

" last time I was this Close it was him" she held her tightly " I'd rather not yet "

[Lady Jenn]

"I'd rather just snuggle anyway," she said. "What happened earlier freaked me out, right now I just need to feel safe."

[Lawshenk]

" didn't exactly help me or my weak heart "

[Lady Jenn]

"What can I do to make it up to you?" she asked. "I've been told I'm a great cook, mostly because my mother is a better chef than some professionals are."

[Lawshenk]

" being here is enough"

[Lady Jenn]

"Just maybe don't ask me to cast any healing spells for a bit," she said, laughing. "It takes more of my energy to do that than any other spell in my armoury."

[Lawshenk]

" I would never want you to heal me and whislt your here what are your spells what else can you do?"

[Lady Jenn]

"I can change my appearance," she said. "Only for short periods of time though, beyond that healing and telekinesis...I've not really tried to find out."
