Tension?

Carson steps out of the shower and dries off, his head still throbbing. The water had felt good, but not good enough. Taking more pain killers was out of the question. He still hadn't had anything to eat, and popping more pill would just make him sick. Though even the thought of food itself made him nauseous.

Shaving quickly and getting dressed, Carson heads back to his bedroom. Finding Misty sleeping, he sighs a little. She was better off at TJY, but he didn't want to wake her.

Opting to leave her be, he goes to the living room instead where he stretches out on the couch to try and ease away the throbbing in his skull.


Jason looks up at Aerith, then at this newcomer, immediately feeling the tension. Swallowing his bite of sub, he sees the conversation getting even more tense, and the look on Aerith's face told him she was none too happy.

Acting on instinct, Jason rises from his seat. He gives a glance to Frankie, then looks at Aerith. "Everything okay?"
