[He's not sure what to say about that for a minute. But the answer still seems obvious to him, with what this place can do.]
Why stay there? It's not too much to ask they set you and Kieren up somewhere else. Not a whole other world, you can still talk to your family, but - out of that town. The way you talk about it...
He's not from the same bit of time as me. I'm - from just after his friends funeral. He decided to stay in Roarton; that it needed someone trying to change it.
[He doesn't exactly know much about the position from experience, how a good or good one shouldn't be, but Jem's his model in that absence of knowledge. Quite firmly placed.
With a little sigh, he settles back against the headboard, letting his eyes slip shut.]
[She's not sure she is. Good sisters don't get angry at their brothers for doing what Kieren did. Jem certainly never made his life easy after he got back. She's been cruel; she's been crass - but she loves him unconditionally.
She says nothing, resting comfortably against his chest. Her own eyes fall shut, too and she breathes in tandem with Cole. ]
[Slowly, the two of them doze off, comfortable in one another's arms - maybe because they've finally released so much tension the last time they were in bed together, so this kind of physical comfort doesn't come with a question mark. They could, would, and have - just not now. Not this time.]
