Things had been so busy, but she had made sure that he was still as comfortable as he could be, checking on him whenever she had time. Walking in, she nodded to the guards and offered them a smile that obviously wasn't as bright as usual, then made her way straight to Jordan's cell. "Hello, friend," she said with a little wave.

When he sees her, though, his face does light up for a second. "Evie, hey. How're you doing? I thought the guards were gonna blow me off for a sec there."

It wasn't as easy as she had hoped it would be. "No. Everybody here is a bit tense, but I don't think they would blow you off. How are you, Jordan?" Back to Top   Aaron Silverman Legend Defense ...

That ninja guy who was in here, if your guys didn't take him out I was gonna bust out of my cell and give 'im a good beatdown."

Jordan stretches an arm out to put his hand against the glass, as if to comfort her! She's been so nice to him, he doesn't like seeing her upset.

And I know my history, know the news; I know what the Empire does, what they're gonna do if they're not stopped." He keeps his hand where it is, so Evie will see it if she looks up! "I can't hide from the real world any more. Not with this goin' on. I don't care if Hursley an' his goons are still out there... I want to help. I want to ask y'all to let me out, to let me fight alongside you. It's the least I can do for all you've done; bein' through what I've been, I'm not lettin' anyone else live like that if I can help it."

She was breathing in through her nose, trying not to panic. "I... I don't have the authority to make that decision, Jordan. I would need to talk to Jack."

Tell 'im I'm willin' to do whatever he wants, to prove myself. I'm serious about wantin' to help." He tries to give her his best smile, though after all he's been through, and with the reality of the coming war, it's not as strong as it could be. "And hey, before I go, maybe you'll let me do somethin' for you? Kinda pay you back for how good you've been to me - you've been the first person since I got arrested, outside of my family, to treat me like I'm human."

One of the guards turns around as if offended, but his partner puts a hand on his shoulder, like he's going "not worth it, bro". "You've got no idea how much it means to me.
