Jinto had been asked by Doctor Weir to show Leyma around and introduce her to her training as he was the only one closest to her age. He stood outside her door awkwardly and chimed it.
Leyma gave the door a distinctly untrustworthy glance and settled more comfortably on the floor beside the bed, her clothes spread around her in a neat ring. The last time she'd opened the door, a man dressed in green clothes had asked her to follow him--and when she'd demurred, he'd pulled her by the hand into a white place with needles and unfamiliar faces. Then the wraith had come, and she'd been alone with that too, hiding in this tiny room, hands wrapped firmly, if tremblingly around the ancient pulse weapon, determined to crack any wraith who dared enter across the face.
The door rings insistently again and she rolls her eyes, determined to be a little more persuasive if the man in green splotched clothes decides to bring her to the place with the needles again. She limps only slightly now, though it's not been more than a week--whatever these people are, they are fine healers, if a little rough with the needles
( ... )
Jinto smiled slightly and shook his head, shifting restlessly on his feet. "Oh no, the people here they are very good fighters." He replied with a nod before chewing on his lip, "Umm Dr Weir has asked me to take you on a tour of the city." He replied
She ponders a moment, stepping back to allow him entry. His lip slips between his teeth and she smiles at the gesture, so like what she'd seen Mori do so many times. The sight soothes her nerves, gives her the strength to say yes..strength she's been denied for many days. She'd fought in the beginning, refused to be kept here, refused to listen, demanded to be set free--but after the wraith, she'd become compliant and afraid.
Jinto stands before her, free and brave, and completely unharmed, and he reminds her so much of Mori she throws her arms around his briefly, thumping his back in a friendly manner.
"yes...yes, I would like to see your city, Jinto of Athos...very much indeed."
The door closes behind them and they begin their walk down the hall.
Jinto blinked in surprise. "Oh...okay." He whispered his cheeks flushing as she let him go before breaking out of his trance and running to catch upto her. "Umm yes...this way..." He trailed off scratching his head as they walked
