Aeden spoke to her softly as she took the glass and drank, "Jakira, huh? That's a very pretty name." He watched as she kept drinking and drinking.<span style="font-style: italic">So much for such a tiny person...</span>He giggled at her question as she hid behind the glass. "Hahaha... No no no. Of course not. I won't stick you in a jar." He smiled at the tiny being before him, then turned and looked to the door at her look of horror. "Oh! Dad! I wasn't expecting you to come over!" He tried to keep the glass out of sight. "Do you have company or something? I could've swore I heard you talking to someone. Couldn't make out a lick of what you said though." Aeden used this to his advantage, "Oh no. Just thinking out loud."<span style="font-style: italic">I hope he believes this... Dear God do I hope he believes me...</span>"Hmmmm.... Alright. I'd hoped you found some company."<span style="font-style: italic">Phew... Close call... No telling what he'd think, though he's the one that told me the stories...</span>"What'd you come to see me for? Just couldn't get your handsome son's face out of ye mind?" He laughed a bit, cutting up with his dad was great when they weren't working. "TÃ³in aghaidh. You'd only hope to be as half as handsome as me." They both burst into laughter. "Yer mum had me bring ye leftovers. They're in the kitchen." He smiled at his father, "I appreciate that, dad. Tell her that for me. No offense, I think I'd like to be alone for now though." His father gave him a look of understanding, "Alright. You know where I am if you need me. Goodnight."<br/><br/>"Night." he called to him as he left. He turned back to his visitor, "I'm sorry if we scare you. You're fine, you can stay. I just wanted to get him out of here." He smiled at her, trying to help with her apparent fear.<span style="font-style: italic">Am I lucky...? Or was this chance...? I always believed when I was younger, but... Now seeing it...?</span>He took the shot glass and sat it on his night stand. "Sorry to take your hiding spot, m'love. I hope you're getting warm and feeling better. Now... What's your story? Do you feel like sharing it with me?" He gave her a warm, comforting smile.<span style="font-style: italic">I hope she settles down a bit...</span><br/><br/>tÃ³in aghaidh - ass face
