Once he woke up, Daxter quickly got up wishing Jak goodbye before quickly hurrying out of the door leaving Jak clueless as to what was going on. He told Tess last night he wouldn't wonder off and he'd broken that promise by saying at Jak's place practically all night, she was probably wondering where he was and where her breakfast was or her early morning wake up. She had told him he didn't need to do those things but he was her royal servant as much as her little brother so he figured it was in the job description to wait on her needs.
Once he arrived back to the castle, Daxter searched around for Tess trying to think of an excuse on why he was so late returning to the castle. I was trapped in a Yakcow heard for hours..They surrounded me..No too dumb. I got lost while having a look around the city..No...
He was pulled out of his thoughts as he walked past Tess' room and heard sobbing.Cryin'? Why is she cryin'? Daxter knocked on her door before clearing his throat nervously and speaking. "T-Tess? Ya okay?" he asked earning no reply, only a sniffle and that's when he decided to try the handle.
He slowly entered the room trying not to creak his boots against the floorboards as he slowly reached Tess' bed. "Tess? Sis? Everythin' okay?" Daxter asked sitting on the edge of the bed. The blonde turned around to him, tears trickling down her face almost breaking Daxter's heart with her sorrowful expression. She jumped at Daxter and hugged him tight sobbing into his regal red uniform. "S-She doesn't l-like me...S-She likes someone else!" Tess screamed into Daxter's uniform as tears leaked from her face onto his pants. "She? Who do ya mean? Likes who?" Daxter asked in confusion. Tess looked up at him as tears dripped down her face.
"K-Keira...A girl in a b-blue dress..I loved h-her...But she doesn't feel..T-The same.." Tess sniffled wiping her tears as Daxter held her with one arm. "Girl in a blue dress?...W-Who does she like?" Daxter asked nervously. He remembered a women in a blue dress being with Jak when he first met the man in green and began to turn a pale shade of white. She can't mean the chick with Jak right? They was just friends right?!"I-I followed her and a-asked her and she said a guy in green named Jak after a while..She's trying to get him to marry her" Tess hiccuped as she frowned.
Daxter gulped and loosened his hold on Tess. She won't do anything to him right?! "Y-Yeah still there's plenty of other people out there...Forget her" Daxter stuttered and looked down, his palms began to feel clammy. "I want him dead...You hear that? I want him gone maybe then she'll like me" Tess replied frowning. His stomach turned and flipped around uncomfortably at what his sister had just said and his colour completely drained. He felt sick but he had to do what she wanted, he promised he would do as she said since he had first come to the castle. "W-What?" Daxter asked swallowing as he spoke. "I want him dead..Is that a problem?" Tess asked.
Daxter gulped and shook his head. "N-No..It's..N-Not" Daxter muttered as salty tears threatened to sting his eyes. She wants me to kill him? But..I love him...But I have to do this..T-To protect her...
