Rayah Jackie covers my eyes and I sigh, letting her do what she wants.

Jackie I nod and glance down at Rayah, memories flashing through my mind, and I take out her braid, "Same for Ray. But...somehow different."

Jackie I flash a small smile and shake my head, bouncing Rayah in my arms, "S'Fine. Ray for that constantly." She buries her face in my neck, slowly falling asleep.

Rayah I swallow, hiding behind Jace the whole time as Jackie sits up, on full alert. Oh....sh*t.

Rayah I sigh, trying to stay out of all of this... When did things get so complicated?

Rayah Jackie glances at them, destracted for some reason, and I glance up at her as well before letting it go and closing my eyes.
