"I bet you he does. He just doesn't voice his concerns because he's in a position of influence." James replied, "Don't be so hard on yourself, Yue. You've been through a lot, cut yourself some slack."

Yue was silent for a moment. "... If I trust him... then I can't trust you," she whispered, eyes starting blankly at the sky.

"How so?" James asked quietly as they reached the top of the hill.

"He told me to never trust anyone but him," she explained quietly.

James nodded, "He is protective." he agreed. "Take a look at this, Yue." he said quietly, moving her in his arms to better see the view from the hill. The valley dropped away before them making the red and orange sky look even bigger. The smog and pollution which normally looked so ugly over the far away city now only added to the pristine color. James sighed a little, "When I see beauty like this... it always makes me wonder how there could be any evil in the world." he mused, eyes glazing over a bit.

Yue didn't say anything as she stared blankly at the sunset.

James stared for a moment longer before looking back down at Yue. "I guess you have a choice to make." he said quietly, "You're an adult and can made the decision of who to trust on your own. You're a strong girl, you'll figure out what to do regardless of your brothers influence." he nodded before looking around. "It's getting late." he mused.

"... Why do you have so much faith in me?" Yue asked suddenly.

"Because you care what others think more than you let on. You're strong but are also sensitive and easily hurt by those you care for." James replied as he slowly leaned in, "In short, you're a secret sweetheart, you drowned kitty," he whispered with a kind smile.

Yue was silent for a moment as she looked back at James. "... It's impossible for you not to flirt, isn't it?" she said with a sigh before looking away again.

James laughed, "Hey, I'm being honest." he replied "Anyway, who would flirt with you right now? You look like shit." he teased before heading to the jet.

Yue didn't seem to like that very much. "My tablet," she reminded him roughly.

"I know." James hummed in reply, "I'm going to get it after I set the ruffled kitty down." he nodded as he walked up to the Jet.

Yue didn't say anything more.

So James put Yue in her seat before running back for her tablet. He picked it up and then paused for a long moment before touching the screen to see if it was unlocked.

The tablet was password protected. But three guesses what the password was.
