12 Jaime and Spark (1/2)

On the Ground Linri was comforting Jaime. He was patting her head and telling calming words.

”There, there. It's all right. Just let it all out.” Even though Linri was trying to calm her down his heart was beating furiously. He was almost killed by the person he was trying to find and possibly help. Remembering about it gave him goosebumps all over again.

After about 5 minutes Jaime finally calmed down and let Linri go. Her eyes were still reddish almost as if she could start crying any time.

”Calmed down finally?”

Linri was looking at the girl in front of her. She had long silver hair and green almond eyes. She was wearing a hoodie, a black skirt and striped stockings. There was a headphones around her neck. Now that he looked at her carefully he could see that quite cute but that was not out of his own expectations. Almost every character he met in the game was described as either handsome or beautiful aside from some special cases.

”Yes” answered Jaime meekly.

”Okay then. Good. So anything you want to say?”

”I'm sorry”

Seeing her look when she was saying sorry Linri felt quite bad. He felt like he had committed some unspeakably crime.

”I was not asking you to apologize. I was asking you to elaborate your situation. Why are you here? Haven't you said that Jaime was some kind of prodigy detective? So what's with this shit hole?”

”I dont know.” Jaime answered meekly again.

Seeing her confused look Linri could tell that she really didn't know anything about this.

”Anyway I see some chairs and a desk let's sit down there and talk. I feel very uncomfortable sitting here” Linri changed the subject. He didn't wanna force her to speakwhenshe seemed like she could cry any minute now.

Linri sat the chair in front of the table while Jaime sat behind it. If it was a normal situation it would look like Linri came here to hire her.

”Soooo I always to ask you why does Jaime always wear headphones? She doesn't seem like the type to listen to music.” Linri knew the reason why but he asked for it anyway. The reason why Jaime always wore headphones was classic music had a calming effect on her and it would help her think in her cases. Since he found out that running helped him think more clearly maybe listening to music could help Spark. He was also trying to confirm whether they were affected by the characters they became now or was it just a placebo effect it had on himself.

”Oh, it relaxes her and helpful in thinking.” said Jaime.

”So have you tried listening to it yet?”

”Of course not! How could I? Everything is crazy and I dont know what's going on.”

”You should try it. I heard that classical music can help people relax. I can see that you are still jumpy so why not try it. If it does not work it would be all right but if it did that would be even better and you can calmly tell me what happened to you.”
