"Honestly Jas, I have no idea..." Andy confessed, "Something weird happened at Xisa's castle. I...don't know how to explain it."

".......I saw it."
Jasmine sighed, still staring at him. She was very quiet as she continued, "I didn't see everything. I don't know everything...but I saw it. I was going to leave and come find you..."
She still remembered the terrifying images that Kevin had showed her that day, and how panicked she had gotten, wanting to help him. She hadn't liked what she had seen, and but she believed that Andy was better than what he had appeared that day.

"Saw it!?" Andy yelped, "How did- how could- how could you see it?!"

Jasmine nodded slowly. "Mr. Uruhane showed me. Some magic of his own, he could see you, and said you weren't doing well, and I got upset, and to make me feel a bit better he showed me what you were up to..."
Well, of course they both would know that what Jasmine saw definitely wouldn't have made her feel better. She wasn't too sure what exactly she could get away with telling Andy and what she couldn't, so she conveniently "forgot" a few things now.
"I was really tired and can't remember much else. All I really remember was seeing you acting completely opposite of how you usually do, and it made me worry...because I know you. I know you're better than that."
She pulled some blankets over her and gave him another smile, then. "You're...a good person, Andy. I want you to always remember that, okay? I'm glad you're fine now, and I want you to tell me that you know, too, that you're a good person."

"Y-yeah," Andy smiled, "I-"
"ANDY?! That wimp!? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! The loser can't even lift a sword, I'm better, stronger, and a faster warrior than Andy can dream to be!"
"...Yeah...yeah I know..." Andy frowned.

"...Tell me."
She stared at him. She didn't like that beautiful smile of his disappearing like that. "Look me in the eye and tell me that, yourself. Tell me 'Jasmine, I know I'm not like that guy you saw. I don't know what that was, but that's not me. I'm better than that, I am a good person.'
...I want you to say it because it's true."
She smiled up at him, hoping he'd have a bit more faith in himself, and at least see what she thought was so amazing about him.

Andy lifted his head and took a breath and said. "I know I-"
DIE!
"I...I know I..."
DIE
"I...I..."
DIEEEEE!
"I can't!" He yelled out, the last yell in his head sounded so real... he was panicked.

Jasmine stared at him for a long, long time. She frowned, sighed, and then slowly brought herself up again, but this time she got out of bed and onto her feet. After so many days of being stranded in bed and not feeling anything but pain in your legs, she had to admit it felt like she was just learning to walk again as she slowly made her way towards Andy.
She didn't think about what she was doing, she only acted because she saw what was undoubtedly fear in his eyes. When she got close enough, she reached out, put her arms around him, and pulled him into a comforting hug.
"Andy," she said softly, "everything's going to be alright. I only bother and care about you so much because you are a good person, whether you want to say it yourself or not. I know I'm not wrong, it's like I said, we sages have a bit of a sense - we know who we're dealing with.
The only thing that's really changed since we met is that we've become good friends, and that only makes it better because each day is enjoyable having a good friend to be around."
Her heart pounded as she said it all. Most of what she was telling him was out of being a comforting friend, much like Kara had done for her in her time of need. At the same time, everything she was doing and saying was scaring her, it felt like she was in front of hundreds of people and she was afraid of saying the wrong thing and failing horribly.
The boom boom BOOM rang even louder in her ears as she tightened her hug a bit more and finally added, "I'm glad I met you, you know."

Andy wanted to protest, he had his image to think of. But he gave up, his head fell on her shoulder and he sighed.
"Thanks Jas."

Jasmine smiled and nodded. "This is what friends are for, but it shouldn't be you thanking me. You did just save my life...again."
'...Um...dear self: you should uh...probably let go of him sometime soon. I'm sure he wants some quality time with his personal space today.'
With that, she let go of Andy and backed up a little, still with a smile, albeit a really giddy one now. She tried to give him as persuasive of a look as possible as she asked, "Can I see that nice smile again? I'll stop bugging you, I won't ask for anything more."
'(Except your heart!)
Yes except--WHOA, WHAT?! (Nothing!) ....who are you? (Jazzy's brain) ....But I'm her brain.
(Yes, but you're the stupid part of it - I'm the one that's connected to her heart and emotions and hormones and other spontaneous things that she should listen to more often but doesn't because she's stupid and listens to you, the stupid one.)
Well, thank you for the fine insult. Now if you excuse me, the girl needs to go back to bed.
(DOES SHE? Sure, she may need sleep, but she doesn't want sleep. You know what she wants? She wants him to put his arms around her and get up niiiiccee and close and--)
YOU'RE NOT FINISHING THAT SENTENCE OH MY GOD SHE'S GOING TO BED - JASMINE, GO TO BED RIGHT NOW.
(Hey, you're more uptight than I thought! I wasn't even going to say anything dirty...yet...)
....This meeting is over. BED, JASMINE.'
Jasmine blinked - all of this seemed to had gone on in something like two seconds. Silly thoughts, that's what Jasmine was going to call them. Silly thoughts. No thinking of her friend like that at all.
She headed towards the bed again, just like she made herself think she was going to do.

Andy blinked a few times, She wants me to smile? Okay...okay... think of something funny, hmm... oh, Zelos turning into a chicken and Xisa being one of the guys from Sesame Street!
Andy smiled as he felt himself about to laugh, he overdid it. But still, the image was funny.

Jasmine accidentally let out a slight squeal as she erupted into giggles. She had no clue what would have suddenly put him in such a good mood, but whatever it was it did a fantastic job. She felt so good seeing him smile.
"That's it," she said, "you need to do that more often, you know."
Jasmine slowly climbed back into her bed and lay back down again, staring back over at Andy for another moment more. "You should probably go get some rest yourself. You're still training, right? If you have any injuries, you may want to have them checked out by my mother, I don't think I'll be able to quite yet."
And almost like she was right on cue, the door opened and Hala poked her head in. Her face was red yet, but she appeared much better now than she had only awhile ago.
"Look at you, distracting her when she needs to rest up. You can discuss your next adventure later, everyone needs to eat and sleep," Hala said, shaking her head and then leaving the room again.

"All right," Andy stood up, his body was a bit sore from his fight. Not to mention the place in his chest where Xisa stabbed him was a bit sore too. "You got some sleep, I'll check on you later."
