Jace nodded. “Yeah I-I’m good.”
He sat there in the awkward silence, not entirely sure of what else to say. He didn’t want to ask the intruding questions now occupied the space in his head. How did she die? How old was she? What was her life like before? His head was pounding slightly and he was sure it wasn’t just from the injury. His eyes widened at a sudden realization. If she was still roaming the earth, either the Reapers haven’t been notified of her death or they are just now learning of it and coming to collect her soon.
He grabbed her hand. “We need to get you out of here, now!”
If he was truly okay, she knew she should get going.....however, she still felt terrible. He wouldn’t be in any kind of pain if she had of just been paying attention.
Jumping at the contact of his hand, she attempted to pull away from him, however his grip was pretty strong. She would inevitably have to phase her hand through his to get it free.
“U-um, why exactly do I need to leave?”
She was careful not to mention her cousins, not wanting to drag them into this whole ordeal, just in case he turned out to be a danger to them.
