Black Eye And Mind

Staying in one place for any significant amount of time was unusual for him, the young jinn was used to wandering. Yet here he was, living on this island, meeting new people and spending a lot of time with that girl Agnes. He wasn't sure what they're relationship was, but he liked being around her.

So he sat on his bed, cleaning his sword, he'd been training with it today, so he'd run the cloth over the blade, humming a little. He'd look up when he heard the knock, standing he'd set his scimitar on a table and step over to the door. Opening it he'd see her, "fuck, what happened?"

He'd usher her in, closing the door he'd gently take her chin in his hand and inspect her. "Did you even get these treated?" he'd motion for her to sit and grabbed an ice pack from his freezer, handing it to her along with water and a bottle of over the counter pain meds.

"Who did that?" he'd ask, looking her up and down, he could tell someone had beat on her and that was something be wouldn't stand for.

He remembered her mentioning that her relationship with her family wasn't ideal, that it was trouble. "Fuck....I'm sorry," he'd say, signing a little. Uncertain how to comfort her he'd put his arm around her shoulders, whatever happened he was sure she hadn't deserved this.

"She shouldn't have done this to you," he'd say, looking her over once more, "take the meds in a bit, it'll help with the swelling." Family shunning you, turning on you was something he'd experienced early on, with his grandparents and uncles. "Guessing you didn't report it," he'd say say, brushing the hair from her face.

"Look, you can't just let her do this, especially if it's gonna happen every time you two run into each other," he could tell already this wasn't a good situation, "I don't know what happened to cause all this, but...y'know, there's people here to help with that, and I'll help if he can," he had no idea what he could do to help, but he'd try.

He'd look at her, "we all make mistakes, and yeah some can be pretty shitty," he'd say to her, his arm still around, "but whatever you did doesn't give them the right to hurt you, not ever." Kadir didn't know what she did, the things her actions caused, but he knew she didn't deserve this.

In truth he wasn't sure what to do, so he'd give the best advice he could. "I'll go with you and....yeah, we'll figure it out," he'd sigh 's bit, "just..don't let her hurt you Agnes."

"Agnes...," he'd place his hand on her cheek, looking into her eyes, "you dying won't the fix the past, her hurting you won't make her feel better." He'd sigh a bit, "her killing you, over this, it'll make everything worse," revenge didn't help anything, he knew that from experience.

"She's....what? thirteen to sixteen?" he'd ask, tilting his head, "I killed someone when I was that old, someone who did a lot of horrible things and he didn't regret ant of it, so believe when I say, it doesn't help, if anything it turns all those emotions to a poison."

This wasn't easy for her, he could tell that much, and he doubted it get easy anytime soon. "You say you failed her, that you ran?" he doubted it was that simple, she didn't seem like a coward to him, "then step up now, talk to the school, if you die then she'll be truly alone and lost. You know what happened, so the school, your sister, they'll all need you to help figure this out."

He'd give her hand a squeeze as she held it, listening to what she had to say, he worried about where this was all going. "Ok, just be careful," this wasn't a good situation, and sounded like it could easily get worse, "if she does this again...don't let her hurt you, run to the school if it happens again."

The half jinn sighed a bit, "when you think you're ready to try and talk to her ask your shrink, maybe he can set something up." A professional would know a bit more on how to handle this situation, how to deal with it without it falling apart into something worse, "you're sister is probably really confused, lot of conflicting emotions right now."

Kadir would give her a squeeze around the shoulders with his arm, a hug, "and I'm always around if you need anything, doors' always open to you." She was his friend, maybe even something more than that, "hang out here a while, don't think you have a concussion but gotta be careful still."
