Ivan, please say it for me...!

Ivan: Fine. Albino does not own Golden Sun or any of its characters, or the Djinn.

Ivan winced as he saw Garet charge forwards, mouth open and face red in anger. But his face immediately began paling as he caugh sight of the badly-injured Mars Adept in Ivan's arms.

"Oh, my..." Mia began, both hands over her mouth and her eyes wide.

"What happened?" Garet stuttered, his one hand, with its accusing finger now dropping to his side.

Piers frowned as he came up to both, looking over Jenna. "We have to take her inside," he commented. "Ivan, go put her on a bed."

Ivan chuckled sheepishly. "Well... Alex hurt her because Mernardi and Saturos told him to." Jenna threw a confused look at Ivan, but then realized that he'd used his Mind-read Psyenergy.

Ivan smiled sheepishly, then was led into the inn by Mia, Piers, and Garet. They ignored Issac's, Felix's, and Sheba's startled expressions.

"Who did that to her?!" Felix demanded, following Ivan. Ivan knew that Jenna had been out on a walk, but then Alex all of a sudden had ambushed her; that was horrible. Out of nowhere when she had no protection, and with Venus Djinn--such a dirty trick!

The Jupiter Adept thanked Mia when she held open the room door, and he crossed over to the bed on the left, placing the bleeding Jenna on it.

He then pointedly glanced at Garet, telling him to go and calm down Felix. The Mars Adept nodded, and ran down the stairs--tripping. Ivan winced as he heard voices.

"AAARGH! YOU HURT ME!"

"AAAGH! IT WAS NOT ON PURPOSE!"

"WELL, BEING HIT IN THE PLACE, THE GUYS' TENDER SPOT ISN'T SO PLEASURABLE!"

"...Sorry!"

Ivan sighed, then glanced at Mia and Piers. "So, uh, can you help her?" he asked softly, while Jenna tried to sit up. Piers put a hand on her shoulder, and muttered, "No, lay down; it's less painful."

He then glanced at Ivan and Mia. "Can you two get out of here so I can heal her?"

"Why?" Ivan asked, but blinked when he saw Mia's stony expression; her arms were crossed "Piers," she hissed between clenched teeth.

"What?" the male Mercury Adept replied. "You do know what you have to do to heal her?"

"Yeah, check the extent of the injuries done," Piers replied, just as lost as Jenna and Ivan were.

Ivan blinked, mind reading Mia. He grimaced; her reponse wasn't going to be pretty. "And to do that, you...?" Mia hissed. "Take off the clothes-" Piers stopped himself, then grinned sheepishly. "Er. You do that, then. Come on." He grabbed Ivan's arm, dragging him out just as Mia exploded.

Ivan was happy to be downstairs now. He glanced at Felix, Garet, Issac, and Sheba, who were all glaring at Piers. "What?" the Mercury Adept asked nervously. Ivan shook his head; he pitied Piers right now.

"Don't you dare try to talk to my sister again like that," Felix snapped at last and he stood up, grabbing a book as he stomped outside.

"Er, honestly, what'd I do?" Piers asked softly, grinning sheepishly. Ivan sighed. "Well, they probably heard you," the Juptier Adept said, "And Mia's yelling."

He pointed upwards at the ceiling, where Mia's mutterings could be heard, though not made out.

"Oh."

Garet chuckled, "I wouldn't have minded, though...!" That earned him a hit from Sherba and a rather foul word from the usually-quiet but mischevious Jupiter Adept.

Ivan blinked, then shrugged and listened for the all-go. But Mia still hadn't finished? Geez, what made her take so long to do Ply... Unless...

Ivan gulped. Then he ran upstairs at the speed of wind, literally. Being a Juptier Adept had its uses sometimes.

Poor Garnet. At least now Ivan understood why the Mars Adept always got caught when he wanted to steal cookies from the jar... Although, how they kept vanishing was a mystery to him.

He ran to the door, swallowed, then opened it. He was surprised by the sight.

Jenna was sound asleep on the bed, covered with two heavy quilts, and nothing but her face--which had been cleaned up, due to the apparent lack of blood and her now visible cut-- and the rest of her head was visible.

He glanced around, looking for Mia. It looked like she was tired, and was lying in a chair, her back reclined aganist it. She was almost dozing off until Ivan showed up. "Oh!" she says, standing up quickly. "Heh... I'm sorry," the Mercury adept apologized.

"It's alright," Ivan said with a grin. "I understand; you're tired! It happens. It must be very tiring, after having to help Jenna after she got hurt so badly..."

Mia nodded thankfully, then left the room.

Ivan frowned. They'd just got the inn's rooms that day, and they had yet to decide who shared which rooms, since there were four rooms with two beds a room.

Jenna's was already decided, but the others' weren't. He laughed, then began to go downstairs. Ivan smirked as he saw the banister, and got an idea, grinning... This was going to be fun.

Thank goodness no one had seen his grin. He grinned hugely, then grasped the banister, swinging his leg over.

Felix, who was sitting at the table, didn't even notice...
