The boy turned to Torra when he heard his name.
"What do you want?" he asked flatly.

"Payback." The Demon replied, "For sending Jade out alone last night. You almost got him killed."

"If you want payback for that, you're not gettin' anything. The Necromancer took the offer for the job himself."
Anise shook her head.
"No, Sync. I don't think so. You don't trust so easily, and you don't give people choices."
"Ask him if he accepted it. He'll tell you."

"He wouldn't have had anything to accept if you hadn't offered anything." Torra replied. Speaking, and listening, was giving him a headache. He glanced at Jade.

"No...Sync wouldn't offer openly to me...but I accepted the work nonetheless," Jade said groggily. "It was my fault..."
"It can't be your fault. I don't believe you accepted without some sort of stress. Did he...force you into it with a curse?"
Jade's brow furrowed, as did Sync's. The former knew not how to answer, while the latter turned a glare to Anise.
"Why would I curse him?!"
"Because you don't trust."

"You did something." Torra said, still using the wall for support, "Jade's no fool. I doubt he would have done that on his own."

"Tch. You're all paranoid. I didn't do anything."
Sync stomped from the room, murder written on his face.
"Ion's healing's free, since you want 'payback' so bad," he called before he was out of earshot.
Anise clenched her brush tightly in anger.

Torra slumped back down against the wall, hand closing absently around the bottle of alcohol, "Bastard."

"Yes, we've established that from the other time you called him a bastard," Jade replied, swinging his legs over the side of the bed and standing with little trouble. Anise noted that and sighed in relief.
"It's good that Ion's healing helped you out," she said softly. "Don't mind Sync, he'd better not charge you for that..."
"Anise, are you certain you wish to keep your little secret even now?"
The smile that had been working itself onto her face was wiped away immediately.
"It's my secret," she said quietly. "I told you what you needed to tell me in order to hear my past."
"I know your past, but Torra does not. The reason I implore you is because I think it would be easier if he knew."

Torra snorted quietly at Jade's comment, but looked up, interest hidden, as they began to speak about Anise's past. The reason he hadn't further inquired about it was he didn't want to give any information about his own history. But if Anis was willing without him doing so, then great.

"Why would it be any easier of Torra knew? That doesn't even make sense..."
Jade sighed.
"Fine. Don't talk about it, and end up like me if that's what you want," he said quietly. "Either way, I'm going out for a bit. Do either of you want to come with me?"
Anise shook her head.

Torra wasn't sure, "Um, I'll catch up to you in a few minutes." He said, "I'm not entirely awake yet."

"Mm. I'll just go out, it won't take longer than fifteen minutes," he said. "Take your time waking up."
Putting a hand to his side, Jade pressed against the injury. It wasn't anywhere near as sore as it had been, so the cane leaning against the bed remained there as he walked out out of the room.
Anise watched him leave, then turned back around and began to brush her hair. She didn't mind that it was already almost done, she'd keep on brushing. It relaxed her.

Torra sighed quietly, standing once again. This time, however, he brought the bottle with him, and took a drink. He was still using the wall for support, leaning heavily against it.

When he realized that Torra was following him, Jade sighed, turning around.
"You look hung over," he stated, noting the demon's dependence on the wall. "Why don't you stay in the room?"
