Anyone home?

(oh, ok)

Jay glared at him, "but I just ask that you not do that to me." she then turned her attention to Rain, "Alright he's told us all thirty chapters of his story and mine only has the one chapter and a game, what's your story while we're at it?"

She shrugged. "There's nothing to tell."

"Hey! No fair! If I couldn't get of with that answer you can't either. Spill!" Jay demanded walking over and poking Rain in the ribs.

Rain looked out over the water. It was so pretty.

"You don't get it; there really isn't anything to tell. I-I can't remember."

(she later finds out bit by bit)

Jay sighed and looked out at the water to, wondering how some one couldn't remember anything. "oh, well... you don't even know why?"

She shook her head. Rain felt the confusion coming off of Jay, and felt sorry she couldn't help.

"Well, I remeber running into this guy on my way here. He taught me how to shield my mind. But that's about it."

"Bah! Don't worry, girly! Worst case, you can always look at me and say "at least I'm not that guy!" eh?" Zack tried his best to cheer her up, though he wasn't used to dealing with people for any amount of time, so he was rusty at best.

She cracked a smile. Even though Zack was trigger happy, and not very good with people, at least he tried.

"One, I'm probably the least girly person you will ever meet. Two, you're not deffinetly not 'that guy'."

"Alrighty," Jay sighed as she stretched her wings out," what are we doing just sitting around? We have full reign of this tower thing, we're obviously bored, and we all have powers in some sense, or lack there of," she cast a glance at Zack, "who votes we do some thing other then site here on the roof all day?"

The moment Rain wasn't looking, Zack's combat knife whizzed close enough to Jay's head to slice a few hairs off and flew back to his hand where he hid it on the back of his belt. "And what do you propose, birdie?"

"Saw that."

Rain laughed. Zack and Jay would keep her entertained.

Jay froze, her natural response to something zooming past her face. Sometimes it worked, this time it seemed to have but she didn't even register what the heck it was that flew past her face.
Slowly each muscle relaxed and she turned her head to Zack who had asked a question, she didn't get the question, just the name.
"Please don't call me that." she asked.

The smile faded.

"How bout we play the 'be nice to eachother' game. I'll go down and find something to watch, and you two can get along."

Rain worked her way down to the common room.

Zack raised an eyebrow, impressed in Rain's perception, though he was more interested in Jay's response. "And why might that be, Birdie?"
