The Pattern Room
Smiles at Jade's comment. "I will and I know Ari will do our best to not let you, Ballad or Lance down."
He feels her pain as she talks about Lance. "Don't worry, I won't say anything. I too look forward to him having his confidence back and successfully walking the pattern. I am sorry that there isn't more I can do to help. But based on what you said, I might make it worse."
He gives her a quick, but comforting hug. But then is momentarily speechless as he meets her gaze as the light of pattern play over it.
*smiles* "I have faith in Lance, even he doesn't have it in himself at the moment. And I know that we will come together and unite to face this menace. But, I am also looking forward to learning and exploring."
As she turns back to her work, he can't help but smile fondly. to himself he thinks "She is so kind and caring. Worried about us. She has a calming presence." Jon is slowly becoming more relaxed, he is still alert for danger, but he isn't as stiff as he has been. Feeling safe and comfortable for the first time in days.
*smiles* "It is amazing isn't it?" he says to Ari. "Are you OK?" there is a hint of concern.
