---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back in Haven city, Torn was at the Naughty Ottsil fixing up some things and doing some paper work at the same time. It was stressing him out because he was thinking of several things at the same time it was almost too much for him. Ashlin walked in on him with his work. Torn paused to look at her, and go back to his work.
"Something you need, Ashlin?" He mumbled, staking papers at the bar table. She shook her head frowning, "I'm just a little disappointed in the justice system right now. We've lost 2 good soldiers, Torn." Ashlin sighed. Torn stopped again looking down.
"I'd say one." He sighed slowly. A moment of silence had sunk into the room.
"Why did you hit her?" Ashlin asked, crossing her arms. Torn glared at her, "She doesn't know when to shut that bitchy rebellious mouth of hers." "That gives you no right. I'm disappointed in you, that you hit a woman. It's not like you to do something like that." She sighed quietly. Torn stood up, scratching the back of his head.
He turned his head away from Ashlin. She walked up to him and slammed her hands loudly on the table up close to him. "Don't you have any respect?" Torn stood up glaring at Ashlin.
"I do have respect! Can't you see that I'm busy!"
"You're not always like this when you're busy, and I know that for a fact. Something is bothering you." Ashlin protested, looking straight at him. They paused, and the tension grew in the room every second. Ashlin sighed slowly. He was about to protest, but to Torn's surprise she kissed him lovingly on the lips, and touching the side of his head with her hand softly. His eyes widened in total surprise but eventually closed them. Torn eventually relaxed. After Ashlin broke the kiss slowly, Torn had a dumbfounded look on his face.
She grinned and cat walked out of there. He touched his lips for a moment with his fingers, and put his hand down. His heart raced the rest of the day as he slowed down with his work.
Back with Jak and I stuck in the wasteland; we were taken into this new city. I was on my back on this stone. I grumbled as I got up to see my surroundings. It had a natural, rocky forest feeling.
What the... Where the hell are we..?
I turned to look at Jak, and Daxter was in the water next to the stone I was laying on. "Ahhh... I love water. Oh yes.. Desert bad." He said. Jak was sitting on a stone, and his feet was in the water. His hair was cut in the back, and the sleeves of his blue tunic was torn off.
"Jak, look at what they did to your hair." I said softly.
He reached to the back of his head, "I know." He sighed. Jak looked at me as I stood up and jumped from my stone to the bigger one Jak was on. I sat next to him putting my feet in the water.
"Look at you!" He smirked, holding the back of my hair. My hair was in one tight braid from my head to the middle part of my back. My abdomen was also covered by a black covering of cloth, and tied at the back. "Come back from the dead, have you? I was ready to have my monks pray for you." That gruff sounded man said, walking in. We all reared our attention towards him. "I am Damas, king of Spargus."
"Spargus? Wait.. Nobody lives outside Haven's walls." Jak commented. "Ah yes, we are the forgotten ones. Thrown out, and left to die. Just as you were." Damas commented. I didn't pay much attention since I was so tired. Sleepy, I just for some reason leaned up next to Jak. We had done a few missions, including killing some wastelanders in the arena. It was a breeze for Jak. For me, it took about 5 minutes longer.
After we both completed the challenges, we did even more stuff. This big guy named Kleiver challenged Jak at a race. If Jak won, he got a vehicle. If Kleiver won, he got Daxter. Of course I couldn't race, so I watched. After Jak won, Kleiver said over his little TV like intercom, "Aaagh! You win, skimmer. You have that little vehicle of yours as long as you live. I wonder how long that'll take."
I met Jak over inside the parking zone for all the vehicles. "I watched you out there on that race. You never change." I smirked, crossing my arms. Jak grinned, "You've got that right." "Hey Jak.." Daxter started off as Jak leaped out of the car. " Do me a favor and don't ever bet me on anything again. Had me worried there for a second." He said sounding uneasy.
I laughed walking up to them looking at Daxter, "What is there to be worried about? Jak has gone through races you couldn't race. Hell, he's kicked ass on the track in Haven."
Jak started to blush smiling, and Daxter rolled his eyes, "Easy for you to say." He grumbled. I noticed Jak's blushing, and I was thinking if I over did it on the compliments.
Why am I doing this? Why am I saying all this about Jak for? Maybe subconsciously I- NO. Impossible. Pshh I'd stop myself if I did. Or.. Would I...
We walked into the city. The sky darkened, signaling the start of night time. "It's getting dark." Jak commented, looking up at the sky. "No duh." Daxter grumbled. "We need to find a place to stay for the night. It's going to be a long, agonizing day tomorrow." I sighed, scratching the back of my head. Jak nodded. Daxter shook his head, "No! We don't need a place to rest! I don't like this place already." He sounded panicky.
"Daxter. Enough with the drama. We're going to find a small empty house to stay for the night." Jak said beginning to sound irritable. I searched for one looking through random windows. When I found one, I waved my hand, "Jackpot." I said grinning, opening the door.
Jak walked up the stairs and into the little home. I looked around seeing any sign of anyone living there like personal items, food, pets.
Nothing. Jak closed the door and looked at the bare surroundings. Stone walls on each side of the room. A few chairs, and a small kitchen on one corner. There was a hallway linking off to only one room, which was the bedroom.
"That Damas guy seems to have room service around here. Nobody lives here." I said sounding off from the bedroom. There was just a queen sized bed and that was about it. No door or anything, either which was annoying. I like privacy.
Jak walked into the bedroom following me. "It'll do perfectly." He sighed, sitting on the bed. "What. All three of us are going to sleep on one bed!" Daxter protested. "It's big enough for several people, Daxter. You don't have much of a choice unless you want to sleep on a cold hard stone floor and nothing else the rest of the night." Jak explained. Daxter sighed and leaped off of Jak's shoulder and walked out of the room.
"I'll be right back." He said. To our surprise, he left the house entirely! That came to Jak's attention and he ran out for him, opening the door seeing him leaving.
"HEY. Where the hell are you going?"
"I'm gonna get some fruit. I can't go to sleep without something to eat."
Daxter stopped and looked up at Jak, "You guys want anything?" Jak joked sarcastically, "Do you think they have new lives in stalk?" Daxter grinned shaking his head walking off. I was still in the bedroom, laying down resting my head. For a moment I think I fell asleep because Jak had probably come back into the room and laid down next to me, because I didn't remember him coming back in. My eyes were closed, and I had my arms crossed the whole time.
Jak laid on his side, looking at me, studying my face. I sensed he was there, and I opened one eye slightly seeing him eyeing me. I grinned weakly, "What." Jak blinked, blushing and turned his head away positioning himself to lay on his back. "Nothing. I'm just cold." He said quietly. I sighed and turned over on my belly and wrapped my arm across his chest slowly.
"Happy now?" I laughed, resting my head on his pillow between his shoulder and his head. He smirked rolling his eyes, "Yeah. Much better." Jak wrapped one arm around me so I could get closer. We snuggled a little. I rubbed his bare arm slowly until he fell asleep. I fell asleep at one point or another as I did so.
Daxter came in finishing off his fruit and closed the door. "Jak, Laona, I'm back." He greeted. Nobody said anything because we were fast asleep. Daxter blinked in the living room.
"You guys MUST be tired if you ignore orange lightning!" Daxter turned towards the hall way and went down it to reach the bedroom. To his surprise he saw us all snuggled together. Daxter grumbled frustratedly, "Jak why is it that you take all the women with you." He smirked and walked out, "I'll give you guys a little privacy." Daxter leaped on a wooden chair in the living room and slept there for the remainder of the night.
