*Lizzie managed a smile and squeezed his hand.*
"Thanks, Jake. It means an awful lot for you to say that."
*She looked to the door and back to him.*
"That mean you ain't keepin' her?"

"...not forever..."

*Lizzie wasn't sure if that was better or worse. She just squinted back and nodded.*
"Aight. Now git gone. Before I don't feel quite so merciful."

*Jake flashed her a sheepish grin as he rumpled her hair and dashed out of the room and back down the hall, shutting his door behind him this time.*

"I think she'll be fine...just...she's mah kid sister, right? Bit of a shock..."
*He shrugged and sat on the side of the bed, running his hand over his face, lines of worry deepening around the corners of his mouth.*
"I just don't know what to tell her sometimes."

*Poe looked blankly at him for a moment. She had no idea what this situation required. She extrapolated a possible solution from his previous tenderness and knelt behind him on the bed, her hands rubbing his shoulders gently as she leaned down to kiss the back of his neck.*
"You will manage, I am certain. Is there anything that I can do to be of assistance?"

*Jake rolled his shoulders under her touch and sighed lightly, then looked back at her curiously.*
"That...the interruption...it didn't spoil the, uh, mood for you?"

"You ain't a mite shy, are you?"

*Poe offered a confused smile.*
"I see no reason to be. Would you prefer it that I were?"
*She continued to rub his shoulders skillfully.*

"Mmmno," *he said, his smile widening.* "Damn--'scuse mah language--but where'd you pick that trick up?" *he said as a knot in his shoulder sprang loose with a delicious release of tension and a strangely pleasant, humming ache as his blood began to race.*

*Poe lowered her eyes, her smile and affections constant.*
"I have made a point to learn whatever I can from those kind enough to teach me."
*She brought her lips down to his ear.*
"Jake...you are very kind. Will you teach me?"

*Jake's muscles bunched under her hands, contracting into a rock-solid mass.*
"Aw hell honey, you're already head of the class..."
