"You cleaned up." Mel leaned over, smiling, until the side of her head touched his. She adopted the voice one uses when talking to babies or kittens. ”Aw. Feeling bad about how much better I am at it than you?” She snatched the offered roll from his hands and leaned back, sitting, against the pillows. Mel pulled her knees up and rested her arms on them. ”Speaking of which, you’re all grown up now. You should really start making your bed. ”

Jared looked at her, the bun halfway to his mouth and gave her pointed look. "Really Mel? After sex all you can think about is me making my side of the bed?" He shook his head before biting into the roll. "You never cease to amaze me that's for sure." He said smiling and pinching her cheek.

Mel ate the last of her first roll in one more bite, watching Jared. She was glad they had turned the lanterns by the bed on. Mel swallowed, and rested her chin on her arms. ”Well, you see Jared, I, unlike you, have more than one thing on my mind,” she told her. “For example, right now I can name at least six things I’m thinking about."

Jared laughed. "I could probably name a few of those things. Like you're probably thinking of sex, buns, something to do with either Wanda or Jamie, showering and/or cleaning." He said smirked and running his fingers through her hair absentmindly as he bit into a roll.

Mel nodded as he listed. He was pretty good at this. ”Let’s see…Sex? Yes. These buns? Very delicious. For Jamie I keep wondering why he’s always so obsessed with seeming…cool and what I can do for him. You’re also right about the last one; I’m thinking about washing my, and probably your, clothes tomorrow, since you don’t do it nearly often enough yourself,” Mel listed. Now that she had started, it was hard to stop. ”The parts you forgot? As always, I’m worried about Seekers; I’m wondering if one of them were to fly directly above us right now, would they see the glow of our lantern; I’m adding to the mental list of things we need to get on the next raid and debating which ones are sensible; I trying to calculate when, for how long, and with who we should go;”—here she gasped for air—”You also forgot the part where I’m think about how Anne is a total fucking bitch and wondering how long I’ll be without shoes because of her and I’m stressed about what she’s going to do to Wanda and if Wanda will be okay again and how that’ll affect her relationship with Ian and if he’ll be okay and then if the Seekers could see the lanterns from above us, could we lock her in a room with them and all run away? And would she be pleasant as a soul or just lead them all to us, and how would that affect Wanda and the others—both me leaving her for the Seekers and her leading them to us—or would they just be okay since she’s pretty much unlikable anyway, and oh my god I can’t believe I’m stuck with wet tennis shoes!” Mel stopped, gasping for air again after saying the entire last part incredibly quickly and in one breath. Her chest heaved up and down. Mel noticed that somewhere along the way she had straightened her legs and flung her arms out to beside her. She glanced up at Jared. ”I’m also worried that I might be getting too stressed,” she added in a tiny voice.

Jared's eyebrow raised as she started ranting. "Wow." He muttered before sitting down so he was facing her and rubbed her leg. "Must I point out you're always stressed out? Jamie is the only teenager in this thing, minus Wanda but she's considered an adult and all since she's 19, that's why he tries to act cool and like an adult. Seekers are flying over during he day only because they can't fly during the night and see anything. Wanda's...well...Wanda she got through worse things then a bully. Anne, I have no clue about her, never talked to her. Wanda probably would object to leaving anyone with those Seekers since one shot you. She wouldn't dream of putting anyone in danger." He paused and smiled at her. "And I don't wash often because I have two pairs and I only shower every second week." He joked tickling her stomach.

Mel’s breathing slowed down while he spoke soothingly and, perhaps even better, massaged her legs. ”I know that,” Mel said, leaning her head back. She meant everything he had said (excepting the final joke, of course). “But, still. I worry.” She smiled and looked back up at him. Another new thought struck her. Jared had said he never even spoke to Anne. “That’s right; you don’t know about the Anne situation.”

Jared nodded and lowered himself so his head was on her stomach. "you don't have to tell me about it, if you're made at her, I'll take it as I'm suppose to be mad at her to." He said knowing that if she was still made this conversation would end up Mel probably threating Anne's life.

Mel nodded. Her hands went to stoke Jared’s head without her even noticing it. She wouldn’t give the full rant—that would probably get rid of all the air left in her lungs. However, she did want him to know just to be on lookout in case. ”All you really need to hear is that Anne is after Ian.” Mel smiled at the comforting weight on her stomach. It was a good thing she always had Jared there for her.

Jared turned and looked up at Mel. "Seriously? Ian's unavalible. He wouldn't even give her a second glance if he was up to dating anyone else." He said before staring back up at the ceiling and closing his eyes relaxing. He streched before rolling over and looking at her. "Are you going to get changed?" He asked her tucking a piece of her hair behind her ear. "Or are you going to wear my shirt that I was going to wear tomorrow all night long?"
