"Oh it's um..." I started to speak as Jataya's form became clear to me. He was very interesting: his eyes were what was most enchanting about him. I smiled a bit as I blushed and lost track of my words. Thoughts were starting to form in my head, thoughts my doctor would say were "normal" but then not explain why. As much as I didn't want to interact with anyone before, those feelings were all gone now. I simply took in Jataya's face and continued to let the blush form on my cheeks.

"Your elbow," he asked again.

"Oh, right," I replied, looking at the bleeding gash. I used my other arm to prop myself into a sitting stance, but when the injured arm became necessary, I winced and fell back down.

"Here," he said, holding out his hand in assistance. I smiled again and took his arm. In that instant, something twinged deep inside me. He hoisted me up, but I almost stumbled back down again due to the sensation within me. Something about him amplified that missing feeling I felt. It rubbed me the wrong way right in between my groin and my belly button, but along with the discomfort was another sensation. The sensation of arousal and need... but for what?

Jataya looked down at me still holding his hand, then back up at me. Our eyes met and he smiled. "You're really cut up bad," he said, examining my elbow and allowing me to hold his hand some more. "Let me get this fixed for you, okay?"

I nodded and he led me by the same hand I still have yet to let go of. With Iren in the other, he guided us down the path.

"Jataya? That's a really interesting name," I said, finally breaking my silence, "Mine is James... kinda boring compared to yours. What kind of name is it?"
