Dj buttoned his shirt up mostly now as he wasnt that much in a hurry. Walking slowly behind sidian, he listened to the conversation and saw her pay. He reminded himself that he would have to pay her back one day. Nodding to her as she gave him a tired smile, he walked over to her and took her arm, hooking it around his shoulder and walking her to the car. Opening the door for her, he gently set her inside and closed the door, the moved to the drivers side.
Getting into the car, he started it up and backed out of the parking space he took. He then began to return them home. "I uuhh.... Thank you for paying for me. I will repay you when i get payed next week." He spoke out as he watched the road, every now and then, glancing at her to see if she was doing ok.

Her expression was grateful when he looped her arm around his shoulders, taking some of the weight off her injured leg and so gently helped her into the car. Tiredly, she pushed her rich colored auburn hair out of her face. Her eyes held more gray than green,a sure sign she was tired and in pain. When he spoke though, she shook her head with a hint of a chuckle. Tilting her head, then turning it, she looked at him full on, a soft smile on her face. "It's the least I can do for you helping me. After all, you could've been in bed sleeping, and I'd be...." she let the thought trail off, the image flashing through her head of her own body laying on the pavement, Jason's by the door, blood pooling around them. She shook her head, her eyes dark before she closed them.

DJ made his way not to quickly, but enough to get them back home quicker then they got to the clinic. As she spoke, he glanced at her and saw her looking straight at him. He smiled a bit back and looked back at the road. Soon enough, they made it back to the appartments and drove into his garage. Parking the car, he got out, moved to her side and helped her out. They slowly made teir way to the stairs and he looked at it before gently leaning down and picking her up entirely in his arms in a cradling manner. Making his way up the stairs, he chuckled lightly when they made it to the top.
"Your ah.... Very light for someone of your stature." Setting her back down, he helped her to her door and let her unlock everything.

Sid squeaked a little bit in surprise as he lifted her up, her arms automatically looping around his neck as he easily carried her up the stairs. She had to laugh a little bit as he carried her, though, her eyes sparkling. "My hero" she joked, with a horrible version of her southern accent. It helped her to joke about things when she was stressed, even if they were true. At her door, she unlocked the one she could with the keys and knocked three times on the door. A moment later, they heard the chain lock sliding open, and the door swung open, a much more sober Jason peering from behind the door. "I'm fine Jason. Everything's ok" she said, hobbling in the door. Turning to DJ a little, she nodded toward the interior of the apartment. "Come on in" she invited with a soft smile.

DJ chuckled himself when he heard her joke and watched as the door was cracked open. Listening to what was said, he watched the door open wide and smiled lightly at the invitation. He grabbed her arm and hooked it around his shoulder once more, helping her into the apartment and moving her to their living room, sitting her on one of their chairs. Hearing the door shut, DJ just kinda stood there, looking around the room, as if wondering what he could do.

Sidian chuckled as he looped her arm around his shoulders again, even though they had less than ten feet to the chair. Ending up in her favorite, soft recliner, Sidian smiled up at DJ. "Have a seat. You want something to drink?" she offered, before looking at Jason. "Hun, can you get me a small glass of whiskey please?" she asked, rarely drinking anymore unless she had had a very long day.

DJ nodded lightly and took a seat on a chair near the one he had sat her in. Hearing her offer him a drink, he blinked and thought for a moment before speaking up in heavily russian accents. "Umm.. Hark Vodka if you have any?" He hadnt drank since he left russia, and felt that today was a good day for a drink, even if it was far from it.

Sidian nodded, turning towards the kitchen, where Jason had went to get the drink, but she could hear him pause. "Oni-san, could you make mine a Sakki, choudai? And the Stolichnaya vodka?" she said in a voice loud enough to be heard, a soft southern accent sounding odd with her easy pronunciation of the Japanese words. "Sure" he said back, and within a few moments, came back with both of their drinks, handing them to the appropriate person. "Sakki. Wonderful stuff" she said, raising her glass a bit before taking a sip. "Got used to it in Tokyo"

DJ watched as she spoke out, hearing words he didnt understand. He just sat there and listened to things before his drink finally came a moment later. Taking it, he held it up as she did hers for a moment before not sipping, but downing the whole thing. The slight burn made his eye twitch and he just leaned his head back, letting his body feel the burn of alcohol again.
Shaking his head a bit, he handed the glass to the person who gave it to him and held up a finger. "Ahh... One more if you please. I havent had anything to drink in years, and being shot certainly calls for it."

With a chuckle, Sidian nodded to Jason, indicating for him to get DJ another drink. Quickly, she downed hers as well, sighing as she set the empty glass down on an end table. Closing her eyes, she tilted her head back to rest against the back of the chair for a moment. Opening her eyes halfway, she looked at DJ through long lashes as Jason brought him another drink. "I really can't thank you enough" she said to him, before closing her eyes. "Jason, go get some sleep. I'll be ok" she said, without even looking at him. She heard the footsteps going back to one of the rooms, and opened her eyes halfway again, looking at DJ.

DJ watched her nod and saw him walk back. Getting a little more relaxed now, he leaned back in the chair and sighed, looking at the ceiling for a moment, then to his arm, seeing her out of the corner of his eye. He moved his arm a bit, wincing at the feel before looking straight again and seeing the man return with his drink. Taking the glass and nodding a thank you, he sipped this one, enjoying the flavour.
He watched as she told the boy to head to bed and then looked at her with a smile. "No, there is no thank you required. I just did.... what a neighbor should do, no?" He began sipping the drink again as he watched the boy leave to his room.

His comment had her opening her eyes, sitting up a little straighter with a wince. "No, actually. Especially in New York, people seem to turn a blind eye to the violence around them. If they aren't directly involved, they don't care, or they figure it's none of their business. If someone gets killed by dealers, oh well, they probably deserved it" she said with a shrug. "I, however, decided to be different a long time ago. I will never let someone innocent in trouble be harmed if I can help it" she finished, talking more frankly because of the alcohol. She hadn't drank in a while, and definitally not Sakki, and it was getting to her a little easier than it would normally. With a sigh, she leaned forward, her head in her hands. Nights like this, she wanted a hug, someone besides Jason who really did care for her. She wanted someone to hold her, and reassure her that everything would be alright, the way she assured Jason. A soft groan escaped her as her hair fell down around her hands, curtaining her face. Tears welled up in her eyes as she was suddenly hit by everything that had happened.

DJ looked at her and listened as she spoke, nodding slowly. He had only lived here for a bit, but he didnt know it was that bad a place. He downed his second drink, and set the glass down. He felt a slight buzz, but knew how to handle his drinks rather wel due to his rather reckless past. Seeing her lean forward, he sat up and spoke lightly as he kept a watch over her. "Are... are you ok?"
He didnt know what to do or how to handle a situation like this and only did the thing he knew best. Ask.

Shaking her head, she looked up at him, her hair moving back to reveal the couple tears sparkling on her lashes. "Honestly? No. I'm used to being the strong one in control and nights like tonight scare the hell out of me. I guess it just hit me, and I've been alone dealing with this shit for so long that it's gotten really hard to deal with" she said, being blunt. "Sorry, you don't need to hear my bullshit" she said, hanging her head into her hands again.

DJ's body shivered a bit when he saw her crying, even if it was only a little. He was never around something like this, and didnt know what to do. Hearing her, he just sat there and listened till she hung her head again. DJ got up and moved over to her, putting his hand on her back. It was the only kind of compassion he learned, and it was from his teacher when he thought about the past.
Doing the same thing that was done on him, he just rubbed her back gently before speaking. "It is not.... Bullshit. You sound like youve had it rough, and its.... Very understandable that you would feel this way. I-if you need anyone for ahh.... comfort, ehh.. I am right next door. All you need is to ask and i shal... Help in any way i can."
