She was going to jokingly say 'a boyfriend' but it died on the way out of her lips "Nah I'm good kid go have some fun."

"Don't think I can, but if you're sure." She said standing giving her hand a gentle squeeze. "Get better."

"Thanks." She muttered and pulled off her Founder Pendant, handing it over to Mallory "Keep an eye on the place while I'm resting will ya?"

"Sure thing." She smiled and put the pendant on. "I'll keep it safe."

Mallory suddenly knew the locations of everyone she could name here as others were slowly added into her mind. There was a pleasant warm sensation that went through her whole body.

She felt strangely secure and looked at Ember. "Is it suppose to do that?" She asked looking back at the pendant.

"mhm it's the closet thing Haven has to a soul. It wants to keep us all safe."

"That's reassuring, rest well." She smiled starting to make her way out. But then she noticed Tiger wasn't there anymore. "Huh…strange…"

She could be found sitting against a wall, her head resting in her hands as she stared at the ground.

"Tiger?" She asked quietly looking for her.

“Hmm?” She mumbled, glancing at her before looking back at the ground, trying to hide her face.

"What's wrong?" She asked quietly.

“Oh, it’s nothing.” She smiled, though it was clearly empty.

"You sure?" She insisted sitting down beside her.

“Yeah…” Tiger moved her hair to cover more of her back.

"Alright if you're sure." She stressed going to read her thoughts.

Jake then saw the flower, noticeing it wilt away. ' Odd…it never does that..'

Just by the way Tiger was moving, it was easy to tell that something was wrong. She was thinking of something… a place, a dark room with barely any space.

"Where is that?" She asked her eyes flashing a blue and gold mix.

Jake followed his senses and followed where Mal was seeing Tiger in a not so happy mood, he went beside her and hugged her lightly. "you alright? you seem like you need a pal."

Tiger flinched as she was hugged, not getting to answer Mal’s question. She didn’t seem to really enjoy the sudden contact and seemed genuinely scared of it.

Jake stepped back away from her sensing she was scared, "im sorry."

She looked back to Mal, “W-What place..?” Tiger asked, still a little spooked.

"The place you were thinking of." She said her eyes flashing the purple and gold again. "The small dark room."

“How do you know about that…?” She asked cautiously, Her mind quickly cleared itself into some sort of mental barricade, only allowing simple thoughts to pass through.

Mallory knew she had just been blocked out. "Your thoughts. I can read minds. If it bothers you tell me to stop." She said simply.

Tiger said nothing, continuing to stare at the floor, trying to collect important thoughts before they filtered their way out. It was clear that she didn’t want Mal, or anyone for that matter, to know her story.
But from what Mal could get out of her, there were flashes of green that Tiger tried to forget altogether.

Down at the very opposite end of Haven Tempest burst through the door "HOLY FUCK!" He shouted as he rushed to his lab to keep a very large sample of Shadow matter safe, the other people who went on the mission slowly pouring in with chuckles

"If you don't want to talk I can leave you be." She replied standing up. She looked to the door and saw Tempest. "Hey, quite an entrance."

Jake heard everyone coming back. " Tempest is back!" Jake then ran to find everyone in the mess hall. But pausing running into Tempest, " oh gods im sorry ….TEMPEST!" Jake then rushed back next to Mal.
