After the End RP discussion

.

Caleb carries Six up to the door of his house and kicks the door with his foot, "Open up Clare!" he calls. A girl opens the door letting it swing open. She looks from her brother to the girl, "Who is she?"
Caleb pushes past her setting Six on the couch.
"Broken rib." he explains quickly and his sister runs off coming back with some supplies.

Clare comes back and sits down watching the girl carefully.
Caleb is on his knees by the couch checking for wounds. "The most important thing is to keep you breathing normally." He hands her some water and some pills, "Those will help with the pain."
He waits until she's taken them to check for other wounds in case her rib had punctured anything else. "Probably cracked." he says and takes an ace bandage wrapping it around her firmly knowing their wasn't much else you could do for a cracked rib.

"I thought you were going to get supplies not a girlfriend." Clare says.
Caleb frowns," You're hilarious " he says with an eye roll.
"Who are you?" she asks her.

"What happened?" Clare asks,
"I did it." Caleb said. His sister shoots him a stern look," Was all that really necessary?"
Caleb decides not to tell her he had a gun pointed at his back.

"She looks kind of out of it." Clare whispers a bit too loudly. Caleb rolls his eyes," It's the medicine kicking in."
He looks at her," You can fall asleep nothing will get to you here." he says.

Caleb sits on one of the other couches watching tv as he tried to decide what to do with her. It would take a while for her rib to heal.

Caleb turned to look at her when he heard her mumbling getting a good look at her for the first time. He felt kind of awkward watching her sleep. She looked so peaceful when she was asleep, like a completely different person.

Caleb decided that it was definitely weird to watch her and stands going to the kitchen.
"Who is she?" his sister asked from where she was cleaning a few dishes.
"She didn't say." he says honestly.
Clare just shrugs and goes back to the dishes. Caleb goes upstairs," Call me when she's up." he says and Clare nods.

Clare hears movement and comes in the room," She's uuup!" she shouts. She turns to the girl with a smile. "I'm Clare by the way." she says.

Clare looks at her," You should lay down." she instructs.
Caleb enters the room," She's right." he says,"You wanna get her a water?"
Clare nods and goes back to the kitchen.

"I kind of do." he says simply looking at her.

((Yeah :) ))
Clare is pretty obvious to any tension and hands Six a water coming in the room.

Clare smirks and looks up to the ceiling seeing nothing there. "Sooo?"
Caleb sighs out of excuses to get rid of his sister.

Caleb gives his sister a look making a motion with his head trying to get her to leave and she only smiles. "So Six- is that really your name?" she asks curiously.
Caleb finds himself looking at the ceiling too.

Clare nods," Oh well that's a cool nickname then."
Caleb sits back in his chair listening, at least his sister was going to ask the questions so he didn't have to.
"Where are you from? Do you have any family? What group are you in?"
"Clare!"
"What?" she asks Caleb.
Caleb shakes his head," Take it easy would ya? This isn't an interrogation."

Clare's eyes go a little wide,"oh." she says simply.
What got Caleb's attention was the fact she trusted them. "You aren't to tell anyone Clare." he says to his sister.
She nods,"Of course." she thought it was sad that the girl didn't have any family no wonder she was OTW.

Clare shakes her head," No." she looks a little sad for a moment but quickly hides it," So where do you live?" she asks.

"Oh good! Then you'll stay here until your better?" Clare asks.
Caleb looks at Clare and sighs," If you want." he offers. He did sort of hope she stayed- he still felt bad.

"I owe you anyway." Caleb says with a shrug.
"Yeah! Finally another girl in the house." Clare says taking Six's rather noncommittal answer as a yes.

"Eighteen." Caleb responds for himself.
"I'm sixteen." Clare says," My birthday was last month. How old are you?"

Caleb returns her glance and finds himself giving her a quick half grin. "Yup." he replies.

Caleb nods,"It's what we do." he says.
Clare yawns before smiling," Yup!"
"Why don't you heard up to bed?" Caleb asks his sister.
"Ohmygosh Caleb what am I 5?"
"You get grumpy when your tired." Caleb says with a fond smile.
"Whatever." Clare says,"G'night. See ya tomorrow Six." she says.

((Okay))
Caleb smiles a little at her," Sorry about her. She asks a lot of questions but she means well."

Caleb takes a moment to absorb what she said. Did she just compliment you? Your mind must be playing tricks on you.
"Um, do you need anything for the pain or- otherwise?" he asks.

He nods and catches her glance meeting it. She had pretty eyes. Woah woah woah! Hold up! You did not just think that! Now stop staring....anytime now would be great...

You are not allowed to like her Caleb she's an OTW you're helping her like any decent person would. That's it. "I should probably let you get to sleep...my door is first on the right if you need anything." He says standing.

Caleb walks back to his room and lies down but doesn't fall asleep for a while. Eventually he closes his eyes and falls asleep.
((Wanna ff to the morning?))

Caleb pads down the stairs suddenly remembering the past evening. He starts making pancakes trying to keep quiet so he doesn't wake her up.

Caleb finishes making a bunch of them and figures she's up by now. "Clare!" he calls down his sister. He puts a couple on a plate and walks out into the living room,"G'morning." he says handing Six a plate of pancakes.

Clare comes down the stairs and shuffles around the kitchen.
"No problem." Caleb says with a grin.

Clare greets them both and douses her pancakes in syrup. "Caleb can I go her supplies today?"she asks.
"Why?"
"Because you suck at it. I mean I'm glad Six is here and all but seriously."
Caleb frowns at her," Fine but you better be car-"
"yup!" she says slipping on shoes and leaving before Caleb could change his mind.

Caleb looks at her and smiles," Well I suppose that's a good thing. Do you drink coffee?"

Caleb laughs," Really? It's just a warm drink. It might taste weird though if you've never had it." He gets up and goes into the kitchen where he'd been brewing some and makes a couple mugs. He hands one to her.

Caleb smiles at her She has a nice laugh
"Yup- it takes some getting used to." he says.

"Well if you drink it enough times the taste isn't so bad. And it doesn't really have any health benefits, the caffeine is sort of addictive though. It sort of helps wake you up and get you moving." he explains with a smile.

"You don't have to drink it you know." Caleb says with a laugh eating some of Clare's pancakes which she had discarded.

Caleb watched her carefully ready to help if needed a slightly concerned look on his face," How bad does it hurt?"

Caleb nods," That's good then." He makes a mental note to check the bandages later. He takes another bite of the pancakes before making a face and putting them down they were soggy with syrup and way too sweet.

"You have a nice smile." he says before he can stop himself.

Caleb smiles and bites his lip. "Thanks." He grabs her empty plate and his and takes them back to the kitchen eager for an excuse to move. He couldn't decide which surprised him more that he'd said that, or that she'd returned the compliment.

Caleb comes back in and saw her blush. Her blush is adorable
"So Six- what do you normally do in your free time?" He says plopping down on the other couch.

"Nothing?" Caleb says with a smile looking at her," Well you won't be able to move around much For a while."

"Other than training or nursing random people back to health." he pauses here to smile at her," Reading I suppose."

Caleb grins," Well that's easily remedied." he says," I can teach you."

She's so pretty. Stop it! ...
"That's alright." he says and runs and grabs a small chalkboard.

He sits down next to her in front of the couch and behind showing her some of the letters.

He tried to take things slower as he wound his way through the different letters and sounds when Clare barges through the door and he jumps and curses," Clare! Are you trying to kill me?"

Clare shrugs and dumps some of the supplies on a chair. "What're you doin?" she asks.
"I'm reaching Six to read."
Clare smiles," Cool."

Clare goes into the kitchen and grabs an apple before she sets to work putting away the supplies that she's bought. Caleb grins back at six before continuing the lesson.
