"I-Iz.... It's not what-"
[b][i]The smile doesn't leave Jen's face as she hugs Omnus tightly from behind.[/i][/b]
"[i]I never got to properly introduce myself. I'm Jen Winters Ephiateus, Omn's wife-[/i]"
"Jen. Stop."
[b][i]Jen pulled away from Omnus, frowning.[/i][/b]
"[i]What?[/i]"
English
-
"No, Omn...it's fine...it's...it's..." [b][i]Iza turned and walked towards her apartment, her head still lowered.[/i][/b]
-
"No, Iz!" [i][b]Omnus chased after her, Jen in pursuit.[/b][/i] "[i]Omn? What's going on?[/i]" "Jen... just. Wait outside." [b][i]Eventually, Omnus's mechanical legs catch up to Iza.[/i][/b] "Iz, please.... It's not what it looks like...."
-
[b][i]Iza stopped, sighing. She turned back to Omnus, clearly sad and silent.[/i][/b]
-
[b][i]He stops, gasping for air.[/i][/b] "Look.... Jen.... Jen's just a childhood friend. We might've.... Considered...." [b][i]Omnus seems only barely able to get the words out.[/i][/b] "Something.... Romantic.... But that's long past...."
-
"It's fine, Omn...I don't mind...I don't...I'm not angry at you...I'm not angry at her. At all." [b][i]Iza sighs again.[/i][/b]
-
"Then.... What're you angry 'bout?" [b][i]Omnus is on the edge of tears, and he never cries. Like, ever.[/i][/b]
-
"Just...go spend time with her or something...I need some time. Alone..." [b][i]Iza shakes her head, looking as if she's ready to curl up in a ball and cry. Mind you, she hasn't done that in years.[/i][/b]
-
"Iz.... I'm so sorry...." [b][i]Omnus looks genuine. He'd never leave Iz; but Jen had been with him for years.[/i][/b]
-
"It's not your fault...it's not..." [b][i]Iza shakes her head some more.[/i][/b]
