He shot a look over at Kazi and promptly turned himself back, using his angriest body language possible. "And now..." he added, with a pout that none of them could see. "... being out of order."
What was this?! As happy as Iliana was to see Jake, the look on his face made her doubt the feeling was mutual. Immediately saddened by the thought, Iliana felt the need to press further. Not about his hair, though it was a bit jarring to see. No, what matter to her was this look on his face. And were those tears? She HATED to see him cry. It broke her heart every time. "Fine, your brothers." She said dismissively. "But Jake, you didn't answer my question... What's WRONG? Has something happened?"
