Jared felt his heart warm when she spoke his name; it had been sometime since someone had greeted him so happily. Most had spoke contempt or fear for him, so hearing her voice and seeing her smile made him feel quite good. But her expression changed, as did his own, exhaling a breath through his nostrils at the word ‘sad,’ he had almost forgotten how easily he could be read.
“Its’ nothing for you to worry about but seeing you again makes me very happy” He said smiling, this time much more pure then before, she honestly cheered him up “Yes lets go home….” Quietly he walked with her keeping his eyes open for trouble but things seemed rather calm so he was able to lower his defenses some, his defenses were never completely down. Due to this he always seemed a bit tense yet being with one of his few friends he felt much better.
