Well the sunlight did wonders for the mood in the group. Well for everybody's but Jessica that is. She was actually for once walking in front of the group instead of the back, though of course she had to bump hard into Ceylon first. While Newt luckily catches her I had grabbed her arm earning a glare from Jessica "cut it out, we don't have time for this" I warned her. She had nodded but her scowl never left her face.
Now for the second time in one day we are taking a break, all thanks to Emme again. I sometimes easily forgets shes just a little girl who can keep up with us, usually she can but not after the trouble we went through last night not to mention those stairs.
Ceylon and I were sitting away from the group on higher ground 'to keep watch' I had told the group but it was more for selfish reasons.
I missed just joking and talking to Ceylon, since we started this mission we really didn't had the time, even less so after we met the boys which is only been a few days but still.
"So" Ceylon begings a big smirk on her face, the same she have me when I had said I wanted to talk I don't kow what she meant by it though "you were hugging Thomas?" She states all innocent like but her smirk gave her away. Wait what? Hugging Thomas. Confused I look at her.
"According to Emme you to were hugging this morning" she lauhgs when I face palm myself.
"We weren't hugging, he was just cleaning my wound" I huff but I immediately regret it when her smile disappeared.
"How many times shall I have to tell you to stop beating yourself up about it?" I ask her and she gives me a weak smile.
"Rest of your life" she says half joking.
"I'm going to spent the rest of my life doing much more important things" I say in the best arrogant Jessica impression that I can. Earning a chuckle from her. "Besides if my memory serves me well I think Newt had made that clear for you as well" I tease her making her look the other way.
"I think your brain is more damaged then we thought" she mutters back making me laugh.
"Ah, so he did" I smile at her "well I'm glad, it was suppose to be me but I'm glad you could find comfort in him" I continued.
"Yeah well he isn't that bad" she mutters again still avoiding my eyes.
"What happened exactly?" I slowly ask her. She doesn't responds right away like she's looking for the right words.
"Well he had seen that the whole 'it wasn't your fault' speech didn't work so he tried to cheer me up, and then-" she stops a deep frown on her face "well I just really needed a hug and..-"
"And when he hugged back you let your tears run loose" I finished for her. She nods fave falf burried in her arms. Now I really feel guilty, I should've seen that she needed a shoulder.
We sort of fall into an awkward silence and to stop that I decided to change the subject.
"So" I start in the same tone she did with me "you slapped Jessica" that does make her smile and look at me again.
Innocently she shrugs. "she was really getting on my nerves" she explains not a hint of guilt in her voice, not that I blame her sooner or later someone would slap some sense in that girl.
"She keeps calling you a murderer why are you so calm, I mean you are often calm but I am way calmer then you will ever be" she says half joking.
I shake my head smiling though she does have a point we don't often loose our cool.
"Everyone in the group including you" I start, pocking her cheek with my finger before she pushes it away "looks up to me as their leader, if I can't keep my head cool when I get insulted how can you trust me when things really go sour" I explain and she nods, it was something she probably had already figured out.
"But trust me I have dreamed many times that I slapped her or shot her, pushed her of a cliff...all accidental of course" I smile just as innocent as she did a second ago.
"Of course" she says laughing making me laugh as well.
Suddenly she girns at me "very clever of you by the way taking advantage of my mood swings" she says trying hard to sound accusing. Confused I look at her.
"Yeah, we were talking about your hug. And cleaning a wound doesn't usually equals hugging"
Suddenly I have to blush "I eh, well I don't-" I stammer
"Careful now brave leader it is almost like you are about to tell me a lie" she smirks at me taking full advantage of my embarrassment.
I want to hate her sometimes.
"I'll be honest I don't know why he was invading my personal space like that, nor the fact that I didn't really minded it" that only made her grin worse.
I can see it in her eyes, thousands of jokes and sarcastic comments are running through her head.
But instead I get "I know the feeling" which actually doesn't surprise me since she had opened up to Newt last night.
"Pfft guys, am I right" I say impersonating Jessica again. We both look at each other before burst out laughing.
Which attracts the attention of the group.
"Oi you are suppose to keep watch" of course it's Jessica who is the first to complain.
"Apologies your Grace, I got distracted" I say half bowing my head to her. Ceylon next to me tries to hold in her laughter but fails misserbly.
Jessica does her hair thing again before taking a sip of her drink. But her attitude is this time directed to the others as well since I can clearly see them snicker as well.
