I laughed a little.
"I guess I was upset a little. But it was more.... it was more letting out all the upset I didn't know I was carrying around..." I smiled. "I don't resent you at all, Nami. I'm not sure that I'll agree with myself tomorrow, but right now... I think maybe you heal people, Nami. By tapping into that pain, you give them a way to let it out."
I touched my face, wiping away some of the tear residue.
How long had it been, since I'd really let loose like that?

In this moment I felt myself warm up a little, but I push that on the back burner as I stand again. A war smile on my lips, "Th-thank you." He's always says something that puts me at an emotional imbalance and this time I'm loving it. When he wipes away what's left of his tears I jump start again as the blush had began creeping up. "Do... Do you wanna tissue or something?!"

I coughed. "N-nah." I hate it when people see me cry. But maybe... maybe this was for the best.
"Does it happen a lot?" I asked, my bumbling self, charging ahead where I probably shouldn't.

"Excusez-moi?" I raise a brow and cock my head to the side in question. "Um... What exactly?"

"Uh... the thing." I coughed. "Where you see things that have happened to people."

"Oh... Um..." I shake my head. "Not too often... And when it does happen... Its not really with my consent nor the other person's... It just happens."

I nodded. "Makes sense." I looked around, sighed.
I didn't want to go. And it felt like I'd had so much to ask and so much to say... but I couldn't think of any of it.

I see him glancing around and my earlier fear grips me, the one that I associate with my long time friend, "You... You don't have to go yet do you?"

I shook my head. "I'll be here for as long as you need me."
Then I look her in the eye, and mine are serious.
"Namine. Did he hurt you, in any way?"

I had let my guard down...and if I'm not careful...Angel could end up hurt... or worse, "Huh...?" I force out a confused look and sounding voice. ''What are you talking about?"

"Please, Nami... don't lie to me..." I took her by the shoulders. "Did Angel hurt you? When he did... all of that."
I felt anger welling up inside me. I knew she was going to lie anyway; I already knew the answer, and I knew that she wasn't going to let me do anything about it.
The other day was the last time I'd hand her over to him willingly. I was an idiot, thinking her trusting him meant I should, too.
"You're afraid of him, aren't you? That's why you don't want me to leave..."

"I... I..." I couldn't lie to him, but I can't tell the truth either. Maybe if I just nodded mutely? No, that's not... Who I am... I'm the one who should be making him safe not the other way around... "I really suck... at my job."

I stopped.
It wasn't the answer I'd expected.
"What's that supposed to mean, Nami?"

"Here I am stressing you out after I said I would take stress from you," I sigh and look to the side. That's right... Keep going like this... don't let him know all that Angel has done. And besides... The vase didn't shatter that close to you...its all in your head after all. My inner most voice coaches as I give a weak smile to the floor. "Sorry."

I shook my head, sighing in annoyance.
"No, Nami," I said, "don't ever say that. Your job is not to take care of me; my job is to take care of you, and every other Otherborn for that matter."
But even as I said it...
"But... right now... you matter more than any of those others, okay?" I said. "So... I know..." I closed my eyes. ".....look, Namine, I know you're not telling me the truth... I know that... you can't tell me yet..."
And that hurt. Because... she should be able to trust me. As the Boss. As the Head. And... as a friend.
"....but if you ever need someplace to go, my couch is always open. And if you ever need someone to talk to, or, or if you ever decide to get it off your chest.... you know my number. Okay?" I looked down at her, into her eyes. I wished I could imprint those words on her mind.
