Omar sighed and shook his head. What had happened to Jane was not something he felt he could talk about. He barely understood it. He didn't know if it connected to anything, it just made him worried. "Jane's...some shit happened to her, but she opened up to a cop, which to me is a sign miracles exist, and they're figuring things out right now. And then there's the fey courts" he shrugged. "It's worn me down a bit, but I'm okay" he reached over and squeezed her hand. "I'm okay, I promise"

"And you're sure Jane's okay?"
Aqua looked up at Omar in surprise. Jane? In trouble. But if she was talking to a cop... Then hopefully would get sorted. She squeezed his hand back, just as her heart clenched. The courts were causing problems for him again? All because of what she was... Of all the times she wished she hadn't been a faery. The thought crossed her mind many times as a child. It would have made her fit in easier. But now... She was conflicted because apparently, there were many things she didn't know, things Omar would have kept from her.
"What's going on in the courts?"

He hesitated and then nodded. "She was shaken up, but she's okay. I told her to look into troll magic, which is something only certain troll females can use" he gave a wry smile. If anyone could master it, it was his Jane. He sighed and shrugged. "Not sure. I pissed Davie off royally at a concert though. I keep seeing court fey following me, but the point was made last time they took me" he shook his head. "No, I think they just want me to remember not to do anything super stupid again, otherwise they'll leave me alone"

"And you think she can?"
Aqua looked around, worry clear in her eyes. She couldn't see another faery. Like magic recognized like magic. What if just being seen with her was enough to get him kidnapped again? She couldn't bear to stand it if he got hurt because of her - again. It wasn't a healthy way to live a relationship. Especially if he was punished for seeing her. He had only recently recovered from what they did to him last time.
"Why?" she asked softly, "Is there anything I can do to make them stop?"

"I know she can" he said simply. "She's my daughter after all. I have faith in her" He smiled and wrapped his hand around Aqua's. "Dearheart, we are fine. Court fey don't usually regroup so quickly. I'll give it another year or so before it's time to get worried" he laughed a little to show he was joking. "Seriously though, this isn't going to do anything. There have been troll/fey relationships before. They should come to accept that this time, it's for love" he squeezed her hand. "It's going to be okay. Eventually, it'll be okay"

"I... just don't want you to get hurt because of me." she said softly. "I get it... I don't know how things in the courts work and I'm younger than you but I do want to put my best into this... Into us."
She often felt like she was being called stupid (namely by Dorian) for not knowing the customs of her people. But that was like asking a 5th generation former immigrant to tell you about their entire family history. They grew up away from their former culture. They wouldn't know it. Aqua had thought of herself as a winged-human for the longest period of time. It made things far less complicated than the political game of the current court. The way they would hurt people like Omar who had done nothing wrong but confess he loved someone as broken as her.

Omar rolled his eyes. "Dearheart, just ignore the rabble that's trying to keep us apart and focus on me, us, our life together, okay?" How could two people so broken find love together? he was asking himself that every day. But they were finding love, all the time together, and slowly putting the pieces of their lives together. He was looking at centuries by her side, despite species differences. He was looking into little half brothers or sisters for Jane and what that would entail, in short he was looking at a life and eternity being with Aqua, happy with Aqua, healed with Aqua.

"It's not easy to forget how they hurt you." she said softly.
She squeezed his hand this time. Sunshine refused to tell her the extent of the damage the faeries had done to him. But Aqua could see the faint marks on his hands, the tell tale signs of scars. She had felt so guilty. If only she had realized sooner, if only she had managed to talk to him immediately after the concert, instead of getting stuck in the crowd after the event and being unable to find him in the mass. But she was trying to look past that. She wanted things to work out for the both of them. He had made her happy for the first time in a very long time.
"I'm sorry... I'm bringing the mood down, aren't I?" she sighed. "We should be focusing on right now."

He sighed. He'd come to accept the fact that he was going to be hurt by the fae. It was his lot in life to be their toy to toss around and break as they pleased. Davy especially. He looked down at where Aqua was looking and gently pulled his sleeves over his hands. "Focus on me, okay? Not them. Just focus on me" the scars would disappear with time, but her guilt probably never would and that worried him. Was she with him because he had been hurt? if that was the case, he hoped she let him down slowly. He smiled at her change in subject. "Dearheart, we can focus on whatever you want. I just want to be with you"

Aqua blushed. She hadn't been on a date so long she didn't have anything to talk about except for work. She had let her hobbies go when she lost Terra. Focusing only on work as if to stop the grief from consuming her. She threw herself into making everyone else happy that she forgot about herself. She was slowly rediscovering what made her happy with Omar. He was far too kind, too patient, too generous for his own good that it made her heart ache.
"Riku says that Weiss is singing with you," she said, trying to change the topic to something lighter.

She was so beautiful and she didn't even know it. The blush was vivid on her delicate skin and contrasted so perfectly with her hair. He was slowly rediscovering beauty again. Once he got his daughter back and had really realized he liked Aqua, he had started focusing on beauty again. Beauty and things other than music and misery. He was rediscovering happiness. Which, he realized, he hadn't enjoyed for several hundred years. Not since...Not since he was living in his home village. He was so full of true happiness now his heart hurt sometimes. He nodded at her conversation starter. "Yes. We did a recent festival actually. Charity concert for an orphanage. Good girl, she sang all about her pain, like I do" he looked immensely proud. "Best therapy in the world in my opinion"

"That's a good cause..." Aqua said softly.
She had remembered growing up in the orphanage after her parents died. It hadn't been particularly easy, considering what she was. And funds were always tight. She still sent them donations from time to time. Made visits to speak to the kids. Warn them about stranger danger and if they were ever hurt come to find a police officer. But it was good to know that Weiss' pain had benefitted a good cause. That she could flourish despite the things her parents had put her through.
"Thank you for helping her."

"She likes the place, and I like helping the kids. It works perfectly" he smiled. "I help wherever I can. You never know where a good smile will change someone's life, or a song at the right moment will help someone through a rough patch. I might be rough to assholes but I like this city, I want to breathe life back into it"

"I know you do," she said. "I want to see this town thrive too."
She had poured her entire being into the town. Trying to give more than it could take. For a while, the town had beaten her down, everyone had, including her own kin. But she found good friends and Omar, who helped drag her back from the edge. Just when she thought that leaving the human realm had been her only choice to get away from the pain and suffering. She had been at the end of her rope and they brought her back, restored her faith in humans.

He smiled. She was so perfect for him it was insane. They both had the same goals. "We're going to save this town, bit by bit" he said to her earnestly. "We're going to help everyone we can and it's going to save this town, somehow. You saved me Aqua. You made me see not all cops were bad, and I'm eternally grateful for you in my life" he was ready to propose right there but she needed time. And after all, he had eternity.
