~3rd Person POV~
The discussion is over. Drake, Light, and Sora weren't able to get many helpful answers from Jaxx since Ajax had fronted instead. And when they were finally getting somewhere, Ajax had left, leaving Jaxx unconscious in his seat.
Since there wasn't much more to discuss, Sora ushered Light and Drake out and recommended that they go to their rooms. As they were leaving, Sora had noticed where Drake was previously sitting, the dent in the wall was camouflaging back with the rest of the wallpaper. Sneaking a glance in Drake's direction before he closed the door, Sora took notice of the gamer's hand shoveled deep into his pockets.
Sora crosses the room to the door, pulls it closed, and locks it. Jaxx stirs consciousness as Sora folds his arms tightly over his chest.
Jaxx blinks, looking at Sora, eyes heavy with exhaustion. "What happened?"
"You gave us away," Sora hisses through gritted teeth.
"No, I didn't," the redhead retorts, stretching and sighing satisfactorily. "I don't think they believe me anyway. You put up a good act with that reaction."
Rolling his eyes, Sora sinks into the edge of Jaxx's bed closest to the chair. "You have to be more careful, okay? That was risky."
"I don't think it was," Jaxx's voice has a hint of uncertainty, yet amusement.
"Of course, you don't," the actor snickers, wiping his tired eyes with the back of his hand.
Jaxx nods. "I like taking a risk. Especially when it's obvious."
Leaning forward, Sora reaches out and lets his palm rest against the side of Jaxx's face. A solace surged through his palm to the rest of his body as he felt Jaxx's cheek stretch from a small smile. It couldn't be helped, Sora returned the grin, even if it was worn out.
"Do you think we'll win?" Sora whispers.
Jaxx raises his hand to take hold of Sora's resting on his face. "Mhmm. I've already managed to confuse them quite a bit, and I don't think there's much more I can do to make them positively doubt me. "
