I shook my head and once again, tried to keep my temper under control. "Okay, puppy. I promise." With a sigh, I started following him to my car. I kept a slow pace and walked a bit behind Jacen, paying attention to each footstep.<br/>When he sat down, I got on my knees by his side and checked him around.<br/>"All right, you had your chance to try". My voice took the tone it always had when I was really serious. "Now, you'll be quiet and let me help you. Don't you see your pride is not helping anyone? It doesn't help you, since you feel more and more pain. It doesn't help me, since you screw the work I'm doing. So, be quiet, and allow me to carry you, okay?"<br/>I didn't really wait for an answer. Whether it was a yes or a no, I'd do the same - move closer and try to place my arms under him.
