Cassie shakes her head, "We.. we didn't exactly meet very well the first time. Bit of a car-crash, really." She can't help but outwardly cringe. It was the one night stand that lead to more than they both bargained for. Cassie barely remembers the night. "I wanted to start again, I wanted us to get along, to be friends."

And now she might never get that chance.

"He avoided me for a long time, until.. I don't know, I guess he couldn't do it any more," she says gently. "He didn't want to be my Guardian and I don't think I wanted to be his Ward. I-I don't know.." She closes her eyes and rests against him, even thinking about it was exhausting. But still, the worry in her chest remains.

"He'll be okay, yeah?" Surely Mark will know. He's the smartest, brightest person she knows. He always seems to have a lot of answers, ones for things she doesn't. "It... it won't have hurt him?" She knows a little about Guardian and Ward relationships, but nowhere as near she wishes she did.

"Is anyone else from the Crowbar here?" she asks hopefully.
