*Lizzie eyed him suspiciously. A bath really would be better.*
"You're serious? 'Cause I don't have time for no games from the like of you."
*She pulled out a grey shift from her bag, but waited for his answer to don it.*

"Shit, Lizzie, we're practically outside. Go upstairs NOW." *he pointed to the ricketty staircase.* "Stay there until I come up and say it's alright. I'll get someone in the kitchen to boil some water for ya."
*he mussed her hair affectionately.*
"Sorry."
*he picked a piece of straw out of her hair that was the same colour.*

*Lizzie's lip twisted as if she really didn't want to say it.*
"Me too."
*Covering herself as much as possible she started up the stairs.*
"You gonna show me up or should I just knock until I find the right one?"

"Jesus Christ, no. I'll come with you."
*He passed her on the stairs and led the way, taking tight hold of her hand and not letting go.*

*Lizzie drug her feet slightly, trying to tug her hand free.*
"Aww...come off it. I was just playin'. I can get up the stairs on my own."

"Don't kid around 'bout stuff like that, Lizzie." *he ran the back of his hand across his dirty, sweaty forehead.* "'S why I'm here in the first place."

*Lizzie sobered quickly and lowered her head, lips pursed. She tugged the blanket tighter as they ascended the stairs. At the top she pulled his hand to get him to turn around. She didn't look up and her voice was quiet.*
"I'm sorry, Jake. I didn't mean to. Promise."

*Jake would've fired a pistol into his mouth if it could've taken that look off Lizzie's face.*
"I didn't mean that."

"It don't matter. It's the truth. It's my fault. It's all my fault."
*Tears started to well in Lizzie's eyes and she brushed at the angrily, trying to hide her face from Jake.*

*Jake took her in a fierce embrace, manure, horse blanket and all.*
"Don't you dare. Don't you dare!" *he said roughly, stroking her hair.* "What happened was no one's fault. It ain't nobody's business but ours."

*Lizzie nuzzled against him, her need for comfort outweighing her concern for the filth on both of them. Sniffling slightly, she pushed him back gently.*
"Just...we should get to your room."

((This is just a really close brother-sister relationship, right? I mean, I just want to check because that's what I assumed but now it's looking a bit fishy and maybe the 'verse has warped my brain.))

((No! No, Jake isn't... No. I was just checking, and I wondered, ya know, BECAUSE of Ashur and all and I thought maybe that's Brandi's kink with her characters, which, I'm not judging anyone, but I just wanted to clarify. ;D))

((Whatever do you mean about my kink with my characters? Surely you don't mean that all of them are depraved. I mean...well...Father Joseph is pure and virtuous.))
