Arya
His question leaves me deep in thought.
Turning away, I occupy myself with my shoes.
He leans down and picks Dove in his arms.
"Where do I take her?"
I avoid his gaze.
"Would you rather take her to your room?"
He raises an eyebrow.
"So you intend to leave me with the Psycho? If she stays with me, then you have to stay as well - I'm not taking any chances".
Heaving a long sigh, I finally meet his gaze.
"I can't, Xian Xi. I have to do something".
His brows arch up.
"I have to bury Han - the Annihilator - properly. The Peace Corps already think I killed Arigana, now they'll think I killed him as well. I also have to find a way to bring her body down from the noose and bury her. Also, I have to do some research on Dove's condition".
His expression softens.
"You do not have to do anything alone. You can ask for help when you need it".
I smirk.
"Don't be nice to me, Xian Xi. It doesn't fit you".
My snide remark wins a grin from him.
