With DJ closer to her, Jade is able to guide him over towards the couch. She presses gently on his shoulders to get him to sit down.

"I don't know anybody named Prometheus. The only Prometheus I've heard anything about is the one from Greek mythology."

@strenuusvenator

"Hm."

DJ had decided to enjoy the hot summery afternoon out on the deck that stretched out a bit over the water of the cove next to his house. He was lounging on a deck chair and looking at his phone wearing a light gray t-shirt and a pair of blue floral swim shorts.

Jade had said that she wanted to visit later once she had finished one of her hunts. He hadn't mentioned spending time out on the deck, but it was always an option.

His thumb tapped the screen again to look at her message once more...

Jade pulls DJ into her arms. She has to grit her teeth at the pain it causes her. She takes his face in her hands.

"He's not here DJ. It's just you and me. We're in your house. We're safe here. I won't let anything happen to you. I promise."

@strenuusvenator

She runs her fingers through his hair, listening quietly as he speaks. Whoever Prometheus is, it seems like DJ had every right to be scared of him. Jade would be scared of him too.

"It's okay to be scared. It's normal to be afraid, especially of someone who you know is stronger than you. I get scared all the time. It's scary to go out by myself every night because I never know if I'm going to make it back home safely."

Jade knows she has the conditional immortality but she would still rather not have to use it unless absolutely necessary.

Jade holds him close to her, letting him cry on her shoulder. She keeps stroking his hair with one hand while she uses the other to start rubbing his back again.

"I'm so sorry you had to watch that happen to your friend. What was her name? You said Prometheus was able to take people's rage away. What if you had tried to fight him and he did that to you? What if he'd managed to capture both of you? Would he have done the same thing he did to her to you too?"

She shifts so she can rock DJ back and forth in her arms while she holds him.

"I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Is that how you ended up getting some of your scars?"

@strenuusvenator

She continues to rock him back and forth, gently running her fingers through his hair.

"You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. But if you do, I'm more than willing to listen."

Jade smiles softly at him and kisses his forehead. She continues to hold DJ even though he's calmed down.

"Okay. I'll be right here when you're ready."

She runs her finger up and down his back soothingly.

"I've seen that one and a few others as well, the day we first kissed." She points to a spot on her abdomen. "I used to have a fist shaped scar here from when I died. I had a bunch of burn scars all over by body at one point too from when the Char Man took me by surprise."

@strenuusvenator

Jade smiles as DJ leans against her, even though her body hurts.

She points to the tattoo covering the scar on her leg. "I got this one from being too curious for my own good. This guy from another timeline said he'd tell me some information and in exchange all I needed to do was let him take a bite. I didn't know what he meant by that until it was too late."

@strenuusvenator

The blood that was trickling down her wrists earlier had dried at this point. She rubs her thumb over his torso.

"I don't see how you could have deserved to die over and over again. I can't ever imagine you doing something that would make you deserve that. You're a good person."

She shakes her head back and forth. The motion makes her feel dizzy and her face pales slightly.

@strenuusvenator

"Trust me, you didn't deserve that."

Jade rests her head back on the couch.

"Made myself dizzy, I'll be okay."

Me either. I'm excited for our picnic date!

Do you like picnics?

I haven't been on one in a while. Seems like a nice idea, though.

Jade smiles softly at DJ.

"It should have stopped by now... I would have had you take care of it earlier but I wanted to make sure you were okay first."

A blush spreads across her face as her stomach growls loudly.

"It's been hours since I've eaten anything.."

@strenuusvenator

"I think I'll stay put for now. Unless you need me to move?"

She reluctantly lets him go, wincing in pain as she moves her arms.

"Do you have any pain medicine?"

@strenuusvenator

"Hm."

I hope so!!! Rain is not ideal for a picnic. I hope it won't be too windy either!!

"I'm not going anywhere..."

Jade stays where she is, her eyes closed until he comes back.

"Thanks."

She takes two pills and stays still while he begins to clean the blood. She hisses when the cloth runs over a deeper cut.

@strenuusvenator

You never did get a chance to show me the docks. I'm still sorry about that. I'd still like to see them if you have time.

Do you like picnics?

I haven't been on one in a while. Seems like a nice idea, though.

I promise I'll do my best not to fall in the water! I can stay really close to you the whole time we're over by the pier and you can even hold my hand the whole time!

Maybe we could have our picnic over by the pier? I think it would be nice to sit and watch the water.

Do you like picnics?

I haven't been on one in a while. Seems like a nice idea, though.

Jade places one of her hands over his, trying to reassure him that she's okay.

"It's my fault. I shouldn't have struggled so much... It's just that the darker it got, the more likely it was for more demons to come out and I didn't want to be defenseless if that happened."

She sighs at the thought of using the peroxide. "Might as well just get it over with... Will you help me get up?"
