RE: Chapter Four (Jake and Kimiko)
Jake smiled tiredly. "A drink sounds great. Nonalcoholic, preferably." He knew he'd need a clear head for this.
"I thought you might want some company," he said, running a hand through his messy hair briefly.
He almost asked /are you okay?/ but realized immediately how useless that question would be. Right now, he had a feeling that Kimiko just needed someone to be there. He walked over to her slowly. "Actually, the drink can wait," he said suddenly. He wasn't sure whether to embrace her, or even lay a hand on her. He wasn't sure what to do, what might upset her, so instead he merely stood before her, letting Kimiko understand that he was there for her.
