Well obviously Katie wouldn't stop herself from doing something completely irrational. She was quick to do things without thinking. Jae just hoped he had enough self control to keep his hands off the guy who stole their friend. And she was right. Would Leah want to see him in such a violent manner? He had never shown that side of him to anyone. He had barely shown it to himself. He never got this angry. These emotions were new to him. He didn't know how to handle them. That's why he came to Katie to talk. She would remind him that he was the rational one in their group of friends. "Am I goin' crazy?" he asked as he ran his fingers through his messy hair. "I know all of this is important, but it's...surreal. I don't feel like me-self. How am I supposed to act like me if I don't feel like me?" Jae looked a little desperate for some sort of answer from his cousin, but he knew there was no logicality in what he was asking. "Ya know, I wanted to be an auror. Afta' tha', I'm not so sure. I 'ave no idea how Dusty goes to work like tha', everyday. I can't...I can't do it." He paused and pat Albert on the head, who had just made himself known again by pulling in the hem of Jae's shirt. "Guess I'll 'ave to start thinkin' about anotha' career huh?" he chuckled. "I 'ave to go find her." Jae nodded, as if reassuring himself that was what he had to do. "I'm supposed to be meetin' Dusty and Rocco in northern Ireland lata' today. Apparently they've got a lead. I've told them not to make a move until I can get there. They're scoutin' out the area righ' now," he informed her, a hint of urgency in his voice. "Hopefully they'll find somethin'."
James smiled. Not just any smile, but his familiar, award-winning smile. He felt a bit more like himself after this talk. Luckily for him, he and Katie sort of evened each other out when it came to their different emotions. He took in the hug Katie gave him with a bright smile and closed eyes. It was nice to feel something familiar. He hadn't seen his mother, father and siblings in about two weeks. The only people he had been with were Dusty and Rocco, and occasionally Leah and Rocco's father, Kyle. They all were different people while on the job so it really wasn't like he was with family.
The young man was about to kiss her goodbye and depart, but then a sentence stuck out to him, something that Katie had said only a few moments before. "Wait...ya 'ave some teenage dramas of the heart of your own? Did somethin' 'appen?" he asked, raising one eyebrow and smirking. That sentence just wasn't something his cousin said without a reason behind it. What could have happened within the two weeks he had been gone? Something about one of their friends? Danny? Orlando? Legend? One of those names stuck out more than the others. He instantly remembered a conversation he and Katie had in one of the corridors about one of those names.
Legend.
