I have arrived (Accalia)

Accalia rolled her eyes, as he feigned an unknowing attitude and casually leaned against the wall, rolling his own eyes in turn. She couldn't help but smile as he mentioned the 'priceless' nature of the Doctors face. She didn't comment, though, and took his hand when he offered it.

As they stepped outside, Accalias smile grew and the trees around her seemed to reach toward them a little bit. She turned to Jason. "Hey, woah. Do you see any hobbling here?" she faux glared before releasing his hand, walking up ahead of him, "and it is pretty romantic. The drama, the intrigue, the life or death scenarios." She didn't really believe that, but eh!

Oh har har.

He would watch her as she pushed off and started walking. Damn, he hated to see her go but he looooved watching her leave. He grinned, eyes coming back up to her face, having been thoroughly inspecting his new girlfriends rump. Hey, he could look at the menu! Didn't mean he had to order.... He would walk up to her and firmly take her hand before planting a rather excited and haphazard kiss on her lips. 

"Right. Very romantic."

This was a strange feeling. One he hadn't felt as often as he would like.

Happiness.

"Want me to walk you home?"

After his rushed and rather clumsy kiss, Accalia felt herself flashing back to something that she reaaaaallly didn't want to think about. When he pulled away, her eyes were wide and a look of horror was on her face. Upon seeing his smile, she tried to form a small on her own.

"Yeah... sorry, I just got a bit dizzy," she lied, smiling softly at him and leaning over to kiss him on the cheek once before pulling back. "Actually... I'm not sure I want to go home..." she muttered. Her and Q were in a bit of a rut... and she didn't want to go back to that right now.

"Can we just -erh- go to yours?" she said, looking down at her feet in embarrassment.

Jason's eyebrows came down in concern, his smile fading. Dizzy? Okay...maybe. She seemed fine just before he kissed her and then during the kiss she got dizzy, yet didn't wobble? Her head was fine in the attacks, other than the normal bumps and bruises he got...still, he wouldn't press it. He trusted her- if she told him it was dizziness, it was dizziness. He would nod and step forward to take her hand and hook it around his arm.

"Your my girlfriend now, weirdo. You can come over anytime you want without asking."

He'd head out toward home!

Girlfriend. That shouldn't feel so weird.

Once they were at his place, Accalia stood awkwardly in the middle of the living room with her arms folded over her chest. This wasn't something she had ever done before, gone to a guys apartment. I mean, obviously it was fine. This was Jason, but she wasn't used to this sort of thing. She swayed uncomfortably on the spot...

It didn't help that something else was on her mind...

Her thoughts were interrupted, however, when her phone buzzed and a SUSURO BLAST lit up the screen. She lifted it to read. "Oh my gods..." she muttered, staggered breaths in between each word. She looked up at Jason, "Is this true?" she asked.

Jason gently took the phone, confused a little at the look of horror on her face. He read over the message and scowled. He wasn't scared or aghast- he was pissed off. Jason hadn't told anyone about it, which meant Tere had to have. And if she didn't, he would love to know how this person writing at this trash mag had managed to find out about something that happened while they were far away from the island, out at sea, where nobody could hear or see or spy. Hell, even the crew of her ship had been on another island at the time.

Still, he had to be careful about how he approached it with Accalia.

He wouldn't lie.

"When I first got to the island, I met Tere. It was before I knew who my father was, as I hadn't been claimed. Me and her hit it off- now, keep in mind I was scared, I wanted to fit in...I didn't know what to do with myself. Tere was confident and forward and it led to us getting personal. Just once. A few days later I was claimed. I threw up, she threw up when I told her. We both swore to keep it to ourselves and die with the knowledge so. Yes, it's true. But not knowingly."

He would walk backward and lean against the wall by the door.

"I don't know what this writer thinks is news, gossip, or 'the right' of the rest of this island to know, but it's not at all the picture they are painting. It was unwitting, unknowing, and not...willingly. Does it bother you? Kuz if so, welcome to the club."

He stared at her, clearly unashamed. He had moved through that and accepted it as an event that happened- another reason to deck his father when he saw him.

Acclia held perfectly still as he explained himself, her heart pounding loudly in her ears. Of course it bothered her, but she could understand how it was an honest mistake. She slowly nodded, her ability to blink coming back as she processed the information. "It's... It's okay," she finally said, letting herself calm down a little. "Susuro is tricky. She has ways of finding out information that people think is completely safe. I don't know how she does it," she admitted. "But..."

She wanted to come clean now. She knew his secret, something that clearly was a traumatizing experience in his life... but her secret wasn't an accident. It wasn't innocent. And it certainly wasn't horrific. She shook her head and looked down at her feet. "This makes me want to admit something to you... something you're not going to be happy about," she started. She almost took a step back, but she didn't want him to think she was afraid of him or anything.

Jason furrowed his brows as she accepted it. He would tilt his head a little in question.

"What's that?"

He didn't know if he should be scared. Her look made him more than a little worried. He would push forward onto the seat and hold out his hand, expecting her to take it so he could bring her to sit next to him.

As he held out his hand she lifted hers slightly, but let it fall back into her lap. She looked up at him with worried eyes. "If we're going to do this, I mean, really give this a chance, we shouldn't keep things from each other," she started, trying to give a sound explanation as to why she was about to say this to him.

"I kissed Geoff. The night before we went on the Quest to find my father," really Geoff had kissed her, but what was the different if she kissed him right back?

She felt a sick knot in her stomach as she kept her eyes on him, a bit surprised that she was brave enough to do so.

He stared, blinking. What? She'd kissed her ex? He leaned back, looking away for a moment. How...was he supposed to treat this, exactly? Maybe he hadn't told her of the reason for his leaving, and that was his problem. Was he supposed to treat this in a certain way? That's like waiting for someone to give you a nobel peace prize before slaughtering a village. Okay...a bit of an overstatement, but the example held in the hypocrisy. Or...so he felt.

"Wow..."

He shook his head, would stand and walk out, closing the door gently behind him!

OOC: Jason won't be back tonight, so it's up to her if she stays!

So, was that it? She had forgiven him for his situation with Tere, hadn't she? She hadn't forgiven that he didn't tell her about it, though... so maybe him walking out on her like that was karmas payback. At least she had said something. At least she had come clean. Maybe, eventually, he would be grateful for that much at least. But, there they were. He had done something terrible on accident and so had she and now they weren't even in the same room anymore, let alone the same building. She wasn't staying here, not after he had walked out.

But she was used to people walking out, wasn't she?
