"How did you get here, anyway?" Prop asked, tilting his head. "Despereaux certainly wouldn't allow you out this far alone, would she? Or did she just drop you off?" Prop asked, though still holding her close.

Jamie shook her head, casting her gaze to the ground. "Neither. I...just sorta left on my own. I wanted to come find you. And...I wanted to see. If anyone who had come back...see if any of my siblings that wanted to come home...see if they were...alright."

"Did you find anybody?" Prop asked gently, lifting Jamie off the ground and heading toward the stairs. "I haven't seen anyone in two years, you know that. I didn't even find Robin so I'd find it hard to believe that anyone's around here anymore. Besides beggers who just stumble by."

"I...I found Nexus, and her daughter Neurosis; which doesn't suprise me. They're sorta here and there, and have their own rather good hide-outs. Some of the other kids are inside still; trying to get back the house. And some of the others..." Her voice faded off into nothing, and Jamie sighed deeply. "Poor mom's probably a wreck."

Prop held her gently, carrying her up the stairs. "It's ok.. you don't have to think about them now if you don't want to. I was just wondering." He said, nuzzling her neck. He didn't like Jamie to be sad. Hell, he didn't like anyone sad.

Jamie gave a small smile, nodding her head. "Alright." She paused, realizing just now that she was being carried up a flight of stairs. Turning to look at him, she tilted her head. "Where are we going?"

"You must be tired, so I'm letting you sleep on my bed where it's nice an warm while I continue to work. Is that ok?" He asked, smiling gently. Then his smiled widened into a kind of chesire cat smile, just like Keegan's.

Jamie laughed upon seeing the smile, recognizing it immediatley. "Uncle Keegan used to smile just like that," she said with her own tiny grin. "I guess I am a little tired. Not that much though. I could help you with...whatever work it is you have to do."

"You wouldn't like it," Prop said, stopping in the middle of the hallway. "It's messy and smelly and it's talkative."

"Soooo?" Jamie asked, that child-like innocence appearing in her voice once more. "What is it that you have to do?"

"Clean out Selestial's stall again," Prop said, laughing. "She doesn't need it to be cleaned but she yells at me if I don't." Prop complained, rolling his eyes.

"I can help with that," she said with a grin, tail wagging gently. "I'm sure it'll be fun!"

"I really don't want to," Prop said, groaning. "I just got inside where i's warm and I just got to be warm with you," He said, pouting. "I don't want to back inside that cold barn..."

"Ooh, alright," Jamie replied with a smile, nuzzling his cheek sweetly. "You don't have to go back out there." Gently, she brushed down her skirt before turning her gaze back to him. "We'll stay in here where it's warm."

Prop layed her down on the bed and covered her with blankets. "Need anything?" He asked, leaning over her and smiling lovingly at her.

Jamie shook her head gently, retuning a smile just as loving as his own. "No. I have everything that I need, now that I found you." Her tail twitched gently, it's black tip sticking out from beneath the blankets.

Prop leaned down, kissing her. "Tell me if you want anything. I'll gladly give it to you," He said, nudging her cheek with his nose. He licked her cheek and rose to leave.

Pausing, Jamie reached out to grab his hand. "Wait. Don't go. I want you to stay here." Her ears pressed back, and her brown furrowed as she looked at him. "I...I don't want you to leave..."

Prop looked down at her, confused at first but then slowly smiled. "But of course," He said and walked around the bed to lie down on the other side. He kicked off his boots he had put on back in the barn and sat down beside Jamie. "I'll stay if you want."

"Yes!" Jamie exclaimed, rather loudly. Throwing her arms around him, she cuddled up close. "I don;t want you to wander out of my sight again. Because...the last time you wandered out of my sight..." she looked up at him, her eyes beginning to tear and her face holding all signs of seriousness. "The last time you left my sight...I thought you were dead."
