Hearing him stutter a little, she looked up with a hint of a smile. "Thanks, really. You're not used to being around someone crying, I can tell. I really do appreciate everything, though. I try not to let stuff get to me. Generally I'll go and train it out. Not like I really have anyone here, besides Jason. Well, nobody that I'm close to" she commented, her southern accent a little more noticable. Truthfully, she'd been through more trama than she was going to let anyone onto. She still hadn't, and wouldn't tell Jason the whole story of what happened in Japan. For a moment though, she looked over at DJ, sitting so close to her, his face concerned.

DJ nodded as he listened to her talk. It was very understandable for someone in her position to break down like this. He was never one to find himself in them, but found himself around people who were. But not once, other then now, did he ever think of helping someone. Taking time out of his own to do anything for them. He wasnt helped in life, so why would he need to waste his time wth someone elses?
But around her, Seing a strong person crumpling under such things, make him want to help in some way. "Well... No, i havent been around someone like this before. Ive never thought i would help someone before. Due to... My past, i came to have a cold heart to people who didnt directly effect me. I didnt want to involve myself in peoples problems when they did nothing to help mine. But after today... Well... I want t try."
He couldnt explain why he felt the need to try, but right now, he didnt need one. He just felt a want to help this woman and her sibling.

With a soft smile, Sidian looked at him for a minute. Slowly, she raised her hand, putting it on her cheek, her thumb stroking the soft skin for a minute before her hand dropped. "Thanks" she said simply. "Hey, I've got to get some sleep, but...you want to come to work with me tomorrow? It's fun, I just don't need to take a chance on catching shit from people tomorrow with me all gimped up" she explained, a little bit more of a smile on her face.

DJ felt her hand on his cheek and smiles softly, his head nuzzling into her hand gently. When she dropped it, he looked up at her and nodded as she spoke. "That sounds... Interesting to be a part of. I would love to join you." He got up and smiled softly down at her. "You know where i live. And um....* He looked around for a small blank sheet of paper and a pen, then jotted down his cell phone number.
After he finished, he handed her the paper and smiled again. "That is my number. It is pretty loud, so even at work, i will be able to hear you call. So dont hesitate to call me if anything is needed." With that being said, he stood straight and looked around a bit before back at her, offering her a little more help to get to her room if she needed.

She had to chuckle at his comment about her knowing where he lived. "I'm pretty sure I can find it". She nodded as he wrote down his number, making a mental note to put it up on the fridge and into her phone. His mention of work had her tilting her head a bit, but she waited until he helped her up and they were on their way to her room before she asked. "So where do you work?"

DJ gently helped her up and began to walk towards her room, relying on her to direct him even tho it was kinda obvious. When she asked him where he worked, he chuckled and looked at her as they entered her room. "I am a.... Hire on Bouncer for the local Clubs. I went around when i first came here, demostrated my skills to each a night at a time, and gave them my number. I normally have two to three jobs a night, moving from one club to another."

She smiled at him as they made their way to her room. Nodding, she guided them into her room. "That's cool" was all she said as they stopped inside.
Her room was her favorite in the whole house. Simply done, with a black dresser with white designs on a wine colored carpet, it was comforting. The bed was fairly large, and up a little higher than most, a black comforter with a large green, gold, and silver chinese dragon winding over it. The frame was made of a red wood, shining softly in the light of the random candles scattered over her dresser and the nightstand. The ones on the dresser were flameless, whereas the ones on the nightstand flickered with a very real life, setting a soft vanilla smell in the air. Her guitar sat in the corner of the room on its stand, its black body scattered with stars.
Guiding them to the edge of the bed, she lifted herself up with a wince, sitting on the edge. With the height of the bed, she was almost looking him in the eye as she looked at him, a soft smile on her face. "I know I've been saying it a lot tonight, but thanks"

DJ walked her to her bed and watched as she had a bit of trouble getting in. Whe he saw she was eye level with him, he gave a light blush and smiled. He heared her thank him again and chuckled, waving his hand. "No no. Its ok. I am just... Glad i got there before anything real bad happened. And now that you have my number... I can hope nothing like that ever will happen again." He gave a light nod to this.
He then found himself kinda standing there for a moment, dumbfounded at what to do as he had never been in a womans room before. Before he did anything he might have regreted, he pointed at the door and shrugged a bit with a smile. "I guess i will uh.... Head back to my place and call it a night. I didnt have anything signed up."

"I hope so too" she said softly. There was a slightly uncomfortable silence, as neither of them quite knew what to do. His words broke it, and made her smile a little again. Running her hands through her hair, she sat up a little straighter, her expression tired. "Yeah, I'd say we both deserve some sleep after tonight" she commented. She didn't want to see him go, but wasn't going to say that. She actually felt safe with him around, like there was someone who understood. "I guess if you're going to go, just turn the lock on the handle before you shut the door. That will be ok for the rest of the night" she said, her expression reluctant.

DJ began out the door after nodding to her comments and seeing her expretion. He moved a bit past the kicten before stopping and standing there for a moment. He couldnt help but feel a need to stay near. True, he lived right next door, but that wasnt as near as he felt he needed. Thinking a little more, his body was already moving back to her room and he opened his mouth before even knowing the words were there.
"You know... I could uh... Crash on the couch in the living room if you think that would be ok for tonight. I uh... Dont exactly know why, but i just dont really feel like returning to my appartment tonight..." He didnt know what he was saying nor why, but he knew it to be a right thing, even if she rejected it.

Once he'd left the room, Sid had laid down, her arm underneath the pillow. She hadn't even changed, or covered up. She looked fairly small in the queen sized bed. Her body was borderline exhaustion from trauma, and she was giving in. Halfway asleep, she saw him come into the room. Closer to sleep than conciousness, she looked at him through lowered lashes before they closed. Her mind felt like it had a fog in it. "You can stay in here. Couch is really hard. Need a new one" she mumbled, barely loud enough to be heard. People tended to be the most honest when they were half asleep, after all.

DJ saw her almost completely fall asleep before hearing her answer and smiled softly. "Goodnight." He left the room, closing the door, not all the way, but leaving a small crack. He moved to the front door and put every lock on. The he moved to the living room and laid down on the couch. She was right. It was hard. But he just smiled softly and got comfortable. Today was a hard day and even though he wasnt used to being shot, he had been mentaly prepared for it for a long time. But sure enough, he slipped into slumber rather quickly and quietly.

A few hours from falling asleep, deep in REM, Sid's body tossed and turned. A cold sweat broke out on her skin, and her expression, instead of serenity, held fear. "No...no Kioro" she mumbled, a whimper to her voice. "Not...who I thought you were....get away...don't hurt me" The nightmare had found her again. The one she hadn't explained to Jason because she hadn't told him about Japan. A bit more tossing and turning, and she cried out, curled up into a tight ball, still deep within her sleep cycle.

DJ Slept soundlessly and dreamless, as he normaly did. But he was soon woken by a cry and his body went rigid as he stood quickly. His shoulder seared with pain, but that was put in the back of his mind as he moved with heavy thumps of his feet to her door and opened it quickly. He found her rolled into a small ball and whimpering. Without thinking, he moved to the side of the bed and grabbed her shoulder gently, shaking her a bit.
"Sid... Sid, wake up... Sid!" He shook her a little more.

Deep within her nightmare, Sidian felt someone touch her. Out of reflex, her hand shot out, grabbing the arm and pulling. However, unaware that she was still asleep in bed, she didn't realize that doing so would've only pulled the person touching her closer, seeing as she tended to be stronger than she looked. More shaking, and she woke up, looking with wide eyes at the end of the bed, where she'd accidentally pulled DJ. "Oh my god" she gasped. "I'm so sorry" she said, her eyes filling with tears as she covered her mouth with her hands.
Would she always be this much of a screw up? Quickly covering her face with her hands, she tilted her face down, embarassed that he'd heard her. "Kioro, you bastard" she mumbled into her hands.
