75 Whats on Saturday? (2/2)

The almost middle aged man had cooled down after his fit of anger, then he turned to leave. The air was still, and Zuna clenched her hands into fists.

”You're screwed in the head.” One last sentence was said before he disappeared out the door.

Arius was confused. 'What's Saturday?' The question didn't leave him even as he focused himself on the situation at hand. He watched as Zuna's face changed. He took note of Jeffery running out after his brother, yelling about how he should stop overreacting. Arius was left in the room with Zuna and a puppy, and one of them was on the verge of tears.

”Come on now, It'll be okay...” Arius walked forward to comfort her, he noticed that she was trying to hold in the tears, and how white her knuckles were turning.

”I know...” She looked down at the floor until he couldn't see her face. She spoke shakily, with big gasps for air as if she were to begin sobbing soon. ”No... but... I did it again.”

”What do you mean?”

”I'm screwed up. Asrael was right, I have problems.” Her arms came up and she hugged herself, then she stepped away to go up the stairs. Though she was stopped by two arms that pulled her into a warm embrace.

”It's okay to be messed up.”

”Liar.” She looked up at him with her eyes brimming with tears. ”I'm almost as bad as Asrael.”

”You're better than me...” Arius heart hurt when he saw her this way.

Zuna leaned her head against his chest, in an attempt to hid her face. She remained quiet though, probably because she had half a mind to not say 'I know I'm better than you.'

Arius spoke again. ”While I wasted years trying to die, you were probably off somewhere happily climbing a tree.” He felt her stir between his arms at that notion, and so he continued a bit sorrowfully. ”Although you lack some common sense, at least you haven't tried to kill yourself.”

”How do you know I haven't tried?” She choked,  yet still sounded slightly better.

”You would have succeeded if you tried.” Arius smiled a bit as he thought about it. ”Even if you can't die, you would probably find a way. Also, your ability is only healing, and I haven't seen many fatal scars on you.”
