Jesse

I grumbled under my breathe. "Fine. Bring me dinner if that makes you happy. I don't need you to wait on me hand and foot but whatever, your choice."

I rolled my eyes "I barely wait on you and since you're obviously having a bad day it's the least I can do. Oh, Rex might be working on his hut tomorrow, I heard him busting things earlier."

I sighed heavily. "Yeah, figured he'd be pissed about this. I'll talk to him after he calms down."

I nodded "I know he's hurting too, I could tell by his face." I got up from the chair "I'll be back with your dinner."

I nodded. "Alright. Thanks Nat."

I went out and got Jesse some dinner together, I went back in a few minutes later "Here you go." I said, handing it to him.

"Thanks." I took a bite then looked up at her. "Wanna join me?"

"Oh, sure." I sat down in the same chair I occupied earlier.

"You gonna eat something or just watch me eat?" I teased her.

I smiled at him "I usually eat after everyone else is finished."

I smiled at her. "None of that, you shouldn't have to wait to eat until everyone else is done stuffing their faces. Come on, come eat with me."

"Oh, alright then." I said and moved over to set beside of him, I picked up a piece of fish and started to eat "I'm happy to see that you've cheered up some."

I rolled my eyes. "You know I never stay mad long, specially when you come in here, intent on cheering me up," I said, handing her a drink.

I took the drink in my hand and sipped at it "Well, I can't let you be grouchy. You're no fun, then."

I chuckled. "I didn't think I was any fun period."

"Of course you are, if not I would have told you." I looked at the floor "You weren't for awhile but it was understandable. You're much better now."

I shrugged a little. "I have my moments I guess. I'm not the... type of person to let other people know how I'm feeling, you know."

"I know you aren't, but I have learned to read you somewhat over the years."

I smiled a little. "Yeah you're good at that huh. I doubt really anyone else could say the same." -Jesse

"Then I guess that makes me special doesn't it?" I teased him, taking another bite.

"You're special but... that's not what makes you special," I said, focusing on my food, not sure where that had come from.

"Oh." I said, getting a little nervous "Then what does?" I asked.

"Just... the way you are with people... you have a kind heart, you don't find that much. You're very... whatever the word is... compasionate."

I grinned some, looking down at my food "Thank you, Jesse." I said "You are too, when you want to be."

"Um... yeah, thanks. I try just... that's not something that comes easy you know. I gotta have a good reason to be that way."
