the elven leader continues to tend to him softly,"Theres no point in pride now, Dante. I'm young, but I am...no longer young enough to need you to always look strong." she stops and smiles down at him, nostalgic. "I recall several nights where you would sit down with me, and make sure I was eating, or sleeping...some nights when you watched over me when I was sick, and my new parents needed the sleep at night." she takes a deep breath and sighs, "So yes...I'm worried. I would prefer you were in good health all the time. But....I also don't mind caring for you once in a while." Jacob tilts his head, "Perhaps. I can always hope that he is too busy being in pain to keep it up" he smirks wryly, "but he is very stubborn." He stands for another moment of silence, his mind thinking back to other times. Far more chaotic times. Many nights ago, when he was much younger, and a certain leader of his protected him before he had even known Jacob's name. And then he pulled himself back to the present, and turned to the werewolf following him. "It's nothing. Not some grand secret. No mysterious spies or quests here. I simply didn't want my p-...boss" he clears his throat, "...to realize that he had snapped a rib when he cast me off earlier. I'm sure you're the keen sort, you would know how he would react." It was just another short walk, the small group quickly finding their way to Chi's room, where inside it appeared to be like a clean office, but in the ceter was a table with what looked like a shallow fish tank, filled with green water, chi, and a bunch of other bits of floating plantlife. It's quiet here. Sound proof walls, with the inside sounding faintly of office lights, and a soft hum that seems to be coming from chi. But for now, the small group stops outside the door, with Jeb patiently waiting for Ash to collect herself and be ready to go inside.
