Joren shrugged. "Maybe," he said, not sounding too certain about that plan. "I just can't afford to have anything happen to you, Ravyre, or the rest of that group on my account."

Alice snorted. "I think you blame yourself too much."

Joren lifted his head, an eyebrow raised. "Oh? I think I have every reason to."

She gave a small smile. "You didn't possess Jane and make her want world domination, did you?" she asked softly.

Joren jokingly resumed his thoughtful stage for several, long moments. "Nope. Don't think so."

Alice's smile widened. "See? Nothing to worry about."

Joren glanced at Alice. "If you say so." He forced a small smile and stood up. "Well, I guess we should go back..." he suggested, now completely soaked from the rain. His spirits darkened as he realized Feren was probably waiting for his answer, which he hadn't quite come up with.

She sighed, and murmured, "I suppose so..." She came to stand next to him, gazing up, as now when he was standing, he was farther up than her. She gnawed on her lower lip for a moment, just staring up, examining her face. And then, in a lightning quick motion, she raised up on her toes to press her lips to his.

Joren's eyes widened at this sudden action, then closed as he returned it. Several, long moments passed by until he pulled away. He looked down at her with a sincere smile. "Thanks, Alice," he murmured.

She returned the smile, mumbling, "Any time..."

Joren grabbed her hand and started to walk back, the trees sheltering them from a good majority of the rainfall. His bad arm was starting to feel much better now, though he'd give it the rest of the night to heal.

Alice trotted after him, sticking close to his side. She gazed up at his face the whole time, silent.

When they finally arrived back, Feren turned back toward them, his eyebrows raised. Ravyre remained beside Demi, Eden, and Nell as they approached Aaron, but glanced at the two out of the corner of her eyes.

Alice chewed on her lips, savoring Joren's taste. Obviously, her mind was wandering, but she blinked, trying to drag herself back into the present.

The lead vampire finally approached Alice and Joren, his arms crossed, his eyes questioning. Finally, he fixed Joren with a hard stare. "Have you made up your mind?" he muttered. "Yeah," Joren answered simply, matching Feren's tone. "And?" "I'll help you." Feren nodded, pleased at this answer. "Alice, if you don't mind, I'd like to have a word with Joren. I'll want to speak to you later, however."
