((You're welcome ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) )) Jess smiled "He's a sweet heart, a little to angsty for his own good, but he has reason to be, you know, the parents getting killed right in front of him thing."

"Yeah, that's sucks hardcore."
*She was quiet for a while, unsure how to say what she wanted to. Finally, it just kind of fell out.*
"I'm sorry. About letting Crane get bored."

Jess looked down at the floor "It's all right, I mean I've done worse things" she pulled on her sleeves "I mean The Emcee did rape Toby" she looked up "it's nothing a good amount of therapy won't handle" she winked "from one that isn't crazy."

"Won't find one."
*Brandi shrugged, but she understood.*
"Don't think that Hannibal will be much help."
*Her eyes shifted in cold realization.*
"Besides, isn't this the one place that rape is supposed to be hotter than is appropriate? It seems strange to have regrets."
*She met her eyes quickly.*
"Not that I'm saying you have regrets. Or should. Or anything."

Jess waved her off "It's all right, I mean I don't feel bad about it, but, sometimes I feel like I'm becoming one of them, like I've been here too long."

*Brandi's eyes widened in realization and she nodded emphatically.*
"Exactly! Like it's this snowball that's rolling and getting bigger and bigger..."
*Her eyes grew distant for a moment.*
"So what do we do about it?"

Jess shook her head "I've been trying to figure that out and the only thing I can think of-" her smile was sad and flat "is to leave, at least for a little while and god I'm-I'm just not ready for that."
She took a deep breath "We all have to leave here at one point or another, although not at a time, that would really upset the balance." Jess was less talking to Brandi, than to herself, trying to figure out a plan. "I mean if I go away, I can get real help, not from the quacks here, ya know what I mean?"

"I do."
*It was something that Brandi wasn't sure she wanted to face yet. She'd ended up here on unsure footing, but even with everything that was going on, she couldn't fathom leaving again. She tried to smile.*
"Well, I may not have all of Hannibal's fancy papers, but I'm more than happy to listen if you need to vent."

"I appreciate that" she seemed to look past Brandi, as if whatever was on the other side of her head was the most interesting thing in the world.
"But I have a feeling, that something is going to get out of hand real quick with me, and I might not be able to get out" sighing Jess began to stand "I have to get back home, Bruce gets paranoid, when I'm out too long."

Bruce? Paranoid? You think?
*Brandi nodded. At least she'd found one of the stable-r ones on the 'verse, even if there were complications.*
"I understand. You're always welcome here."
*She smiled.*
"And we clean up pretty well, if you ever want to bring your man."

Jess blushed "I'm sure he'd love to, it's not like he knows anyone here, outside of me and Alfred."
She smiled and hugged Brandi "Thanks for the talk and the tea."

Oh he knows a few. Like Crane. And Lizzie. If he hasn't forgotten.
*She smiled in echo and nodded.*
"You are always welcome. Feel free to drop by anytime."

"I sure will" Jess nodded and walked out of the kitchen and out of the inn.
The talk helped, but the brown bottle in her coat, helped better.
Right?
((WOO))
