Hello, Jack.

Time for a conversation.

[The antidote that Owen had worked on, had been administered and once there was a good certainty that Jack was responding to it, he'd shooed off people he knew needed some rest or at least a hot meal.

Speaking of rest, Jack was dozing and thus barely aware that someone had crept into his room on spidery legs. At the sound of Saya's voice, he looked up and over at her, blue eyes still dull from the suffering of the past couple of days.]

Saya.

[She slid into the bed with him, her arms around his chest in a parody of a loving embrace. It was the kind of thing that would have suited Jack; her skin was warm, warmer than a human's, but she wasn't offering any kind of pain, but there was enough strength in her arms to stop him from fighting her]

Hello. I see you're on the mend.

Actiony like!

[Jack arched an eyebrow at her actions but he certainly wasn't in any shape to be trying to throw around his weight.

Instead, he turned his head to look at her.]

Finally.

[His voice soft, almost lover like, though it was only because she was so close.]

But it was an experience.

You know. I never intended on attacking anyone.

[She's quiet, her voice is soft, and moving against his skin]

Humans intrigue me. So do emotions. Things I'm not, and things I don't have.

[She smiled against the skin of his cheek]

I don't intend on hurting anyone who does not attack me first.

I can understand the difference between deliberate attack and what is a biological necessity.

[He knew she was what she was. She did it to sustain herself. He did understand that.

Turning his head slightly, he continued the tones of the unspoken conversation, his lips nearly brushing hers as he spoke.]

But I don't respect empty words, Saya. Least of all from my own lips. I knew before I entered your domain that it was a fight I could not win against you.

[His breath is soft, slightly minty ... hey, sometimes you just want a toothbrush damn it!]

I do not eat things that have lovers.

[She leans forward, that extra half inch, her brown eyes smiling]

I poisoned you because I had to, but the venom came from my own hand.

[And she kisses him.]

[Jack actually had more experience with situations like this than one might suspect.

He was Jack after all.

More importantly, despite the violence they had inflicted on each other, he now had a better understanding of what Saya was saying. He could learn.

So, rather than a self righteous stiffening of his lips, his mouth was soft, warm and even gentle as he returned the kiss.

As she said, the venom had come from her own hand.]

[She smiled into the kiss, and pulled back after a moment, but didn't move]

We're judges.

[handsomejack]

I'm a defender.

[And thus, had to know a passion for that which he chose to defend.

Emotion.]

[repairedbywebs]

Like the werewolves.

Only far less repulsive.

[She keeps her body against his. Is she enjoying this? Maybe - she doesn't get a lot of physical contact]

[He's probably comfortably warm, though no where near the feverishness he'd been before the antidote.

Lips give a small twitch, blue eyes watching hers, where they are so close.]

I over reacted due to emotion.

[An admittance of fault, an apology of sorts.]

But I defend that which I love.

[And this time, it was his turn to lightly press his lips to hers. Hey, if he didn't respect her, he'd never have made sure to impress upon her that his threats weren't idle.]

[She kissed him back, pushing closer to him, one leg curling around his. She's tiny; and she smells nice, if he notices it. Her fingers curve around his ribs]

Probably.

It was never my intention that you die.

[A weak shift of his arm, instinctive really to make a cradle that would be more comfortable for the person in the bed with him. Blue eyes close for a moment, a couple of breaths as he fights off a wave of sleepiness.]

It was only my intention to show you I would.

[That when it came to defending people he loves, he wouldn't just make idle threats.]

[repairedbywebs]

[Curling against him, her breath against his neck]

In a fashion, that's admirable.

[His breath now gently ruffling her hair.]

I told them you were defending yourself. They won't try to harm you.

Humans are not so easily placated.

[Her fingers are moving across his ribs]
