"Just the jacket," he said quietly, giving her a faint smile.

Mali nodded and took the jacket, ensuring that he was settled. "Want me to stick around or is there anything else I can do?" Mali asked as she perched on the bed of his bed.

"You can stay if you want," he said softly. "Not going to force you."

"I'll go tidy up the kitchen and if your still awake when I'm done I'll sit with you and if your asleep I'll just leave you be."

"Thank you," Jules said before sleep claimed him.

Laying his jacket across the end of his bed, Mali ensured that his boots were in easy reach as she didn't know where they belonged. "Sleep well, my heart." she whispered before letting herself out of his room, quietly she tidied the kitchen and then slipped out into the bright sunshine.

Celise lowered the hood to her cloak as she entered the "courtyard" to the house. "Hello, Mali, thinking about moving in?" she lightly teased.

"Celise," Mali greeted, "no I was ensuring Jules made it home, it's been a rather interesting day." Mali admitted, "Do you have a minute?" She might as well tell Celise what happened so she could keep the twins quite until Jules recuperated.

"For you, my dear, I have an hour," she said, settling down on a bench, after brushing the flock of doves off it. "I swear, ever since I got involved with Strongheart, all the cute furry and feathery animals started to appear en masse."

"They know about your love for a certain cute fluffy canine?" Mali lightly teased, "And I just might need that hour. Since it will be hard enough to believe on it's own, let's start at the beginning. As you probably know Jules came down to the inn to visit today. Bryant was there, so Jules used this opportunity to tell Bryant that Jules and I are seeing each other. Not exactly sure what happened next as I went to the kitchen, next thing I know Clarissa is running into the kitchen asking for help. I went to see what I could do and saw... Celise, Jules can walk. Not for very long, it causes him a great deal of pain but he can stand." Mali stared off beyond the courtyard.

Celise just sat there, silent, trying to put it together. "Well, at least that's a good sign, his being able to walk. Doctors had told us that he would never walk again so it shows what little they know." She squeezed Mali's hand.

Mali flashed Celise a small smile, "It's an amazing thing," Mali corrected, "But I'm worried about what caused him to stand. Something Bryant said to him caused Jules to face Bryant with his sword to Bryant's neck." she admitted, worried about how her mother and Bryant were going to change the scenario, after all both of them had a need to always be the best.

"He probably said you were faking your feelings or that because Jules is in a wheelchair, he'd need help to do anything. That and you know how proud Jules can be - and he would bring Strongheart into it if necessary."

"That's what I'm afraid of, if Jules asked for Strongheart to help deal with Bryant... Bryant is going to think it proves his point. Bryant has to have the best and no one opposing him, he thinks my refusal is a cute little rebellion and I'll come around to his way of thinking. Bryant likes to play dirty and I don't want Jules hurt."

"If my hunch is right, Bryant said something, Jules told him to back down or he'd have Strongheart help, Bryant said something about Jules needing help, which lead to Jules proving his point by standing a putting a sword at Bryant's throat, which wouldn't surprise me in the least," Celise said quietly, shaking her head. "I do wish Bryant would realize that because Strongheart is back, our "rank" is restored, and that is of the royal guard," Celise said quietly. "My brother was, is, Strongheart's chief knight."
