*morning, Sheldons House*

[jayne_serenity]

Jayne showers quickly, once again, not a happy man. He woke this morning and Bagoas was gone, and he knew that the boy woke in the night, and spoke to Han. He had to be ready for when Pheobe came over. He had to be there for her. But he was really sick of being a doormat for every down and outer

Phoebe was quiet as she stared at the door in front of her. She wasn't sure why she had told Jayne, she was coming over. She didn't want him hurt. However, he had told her to come and talk to him...and with Jayne, she knew where she stood. He wouldn't tell her he loved her...and then make her feel like the worst human piiece of shit that ever lived.

She had seen the look in Piper's eyes when she had told her sister what Cole had done to her and she hoped Piper wouldn't do anything to get hurt.

She took a deep breath, and lifted her hand to knock on the door.

*hears the knock and comes quickly, pulling on a shirt over still damp body, hair still wet*

Pheobe? *rips open the door*

*odd look, quieter vioce* Phebes?

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe slips down her glasses and nods at Jayne, aware that she looks horrible.

"Hi Jayne..." She swallows. "Thanks for agreeing to see me..."

[jayne_serenity]

*pulls her in, looking angry and protective*

why wouldnt I?

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe removes her hat and shakes her hair free. She gives him a faint smile, so not like her usual self.

"I don't know...it's just been a very bad few days is all."

She gingerly takes off her trenchcoat and wrinkles her nose at the gash in her side.

"For future reference, knives caan be thrown incredibly fast."

[jayne_serenity]

I know that...

come on up to the bathroom and let me take a look at that...

*starts heading to the first floor bathroom, not waiting, demanding*

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe follows him, not even questioning him.

"I'm sorry you've had a bad week, Jayne. Anything I can do to help?"

[jayne_serenity]

lets just look at that cut...

*turns on the bright overhead light and gestures her to sit on the counter*

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe nods and sits on the counter, pulling up her shir so he can see the cut along her ribs.

"I cleaned it as best as I could when it happened."

[jayne_serenity]

not too deep - shouldnt need stitches, I hope....

*gives her a slight grin* always wanted to do this...
*pulls off her shirt*

now... *turns his back to get some bandages and surgical tape*

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe smiles and lets him take the shirt off. When he takes it off, it reveals that Phoebe is bruised over most of the upper half of her body.

"So I only need to get cut up to get you to take off my shirt, huh?"

She looks down. "I have learned this week that I am apparently the most naive and stupid female in the world. I'm thinking of having a t-shirt made."

[jayne_serenity]

who did this to you? *saw all the bruising, and is hiding the fact hes furious while he hunts for what he needs*

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe is quiet for a long moment. "The bruises and the knife wound? I got into a fight with a few people while trying to acquire some items for Professor Jerusalem. Also? Demons with claws are assholes." She sighs. "I'm beginning to think I'm not cut out to be the tough chick who fights things. I seem to get bruised a lot."

She looks at him. "I wonder if I could get Lizzie or someone else to teach me about being a proper lady or something?"

[jayne_serenity]

Yer as proper as ya need to be... and I never saw you as a tough chick type...

*comes back up with a long segment or three of bandages and some odd medical looking cream*

THis is gonna sting a bit, but it'll have ya fixed up by tonight...
you want me to threaten Spider for ya? Tell him that you need a body guard on those assignments?

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe smiles at him. "You don't think I need to be the warrior chick and do the fighting thing?"

She winces as he applies the cream.

"Nah, don't threaten Spider. He was only doing what I asked him to do. I asked for dangerous, and I got it." She shrugs. "However, I'm sure he'd pay someone to be my bodyguard when I do things like this."

Phoebe looks at Jayne and feels she owes him an explanation for the condition she's in. "I thought that physical pain would be easiier to handle than the emotional pain is."

[jayne_serenity]

Cause of yer sister and that demon guy?

and moneys good - tell Spider Ill do any bodyguardin or leg work he needs done... Might just keep me in classes...
