Jake had swung by April's cabin to pick her up, walking along toward the Keep with her. She seemed quiet, but he wasn't sure why. Nerves? They'd done this before. He did note who her new cabinmate was, and he figured that was playing a part in it. "Everything okay?" He asked with a glance over to her. April nodded slightly, glancing briefly over her shoulder. "Yeah," she said softly. At his clearly disbelieving expression, she shrugged. "It's ..." She struggled for a moment with words that wouldn't come. "Cruel of them. To put him in with me." "Why?" Jake frowned. "I thought that'd make things easier. You know. Same cabin," his brows waggled playfully -- at least until April looked away. "What?" He said, frowning again. "I thought we had this discussion." She shook her head. "We did. It's ..." She shrugged. "Did he shoot you down?" April laughed, rolling her eyes a little. "No. Other way around." "I thought you wanted him." "I did. Do. It's just --" "April Brennan if you say he can do better I will freeze your feet and make you walk that way," he threatened her. "It's true though," she said as she glanced back at him, shaking her head slightly. "It's not up to you to decide. If he wants you, and you want him, stop putting fucking roadblocks up. We've got enough shit to fight in this place without ... fighting each other." She shook her head, gazing off into the distance and lapsing into silence. Having grown up with two sisters, Jake knew the 'I'm not continuing this inane argument that I'm losing with you' tells, so he shut up, too. He figured, given enough time, it would happen. He just hated to see her suffering pointlessly. "If there wasn't a threat of us killing each other in the process, I'd get with you," Jake said as he lightly bumped against her. April laughed faintly, shaking her head again as she moved to open the door of the Keep. "You say that to everyone though," she pointed out. "Doesn't mean it's not true. Just means I'm a whore," he laughed as he followed after her to the pool area. His eyes strayed to the door to the side, though exploring yesterday had already shown him what was behind it. More changes. More weird changes. Glancing around to see if either Otis or Bailey had arrived, Jake moved away from April. If no one was here yet, he planned to just play around with his ice in the water. If someone was there, he greeted them with a 's'up?' |
