Jamie doesn't hear who agrees to this plan; certainly he is not at all sure that he is in favor. Nonetheless, somehow they end up moving towards a house that Jamie is feeling too grey to notice anything about except for the skeleton in the front hall.

Even in his current state, that gets Jamie's attention.

"It's a long story," Jamie says quickly, doing his best to project confidence and health. "I had a bit of an accident."

Joris bites his lip, then shakes his head quickly.

"It was me-"

"Not to worry," Adam says quickly, before Joris can get started in on demon knives and guilt.

There's little hope of getting rid of Vanessa now, but Adam gives it a game try anyways. (He wishes Jamie would stop looking like he's about to fall over. It isn't helping.)

"Joris and me gave him first aid. He's Jamie, by the way. This is Helen, the one without a face."

Vanessa ignores Adam with the ease of long practice.

"Let me look at it once," she says to the ill-looking boy. "Adam doesn't know the first thing -"

Joris does know first aid.

But his quiet "I do," gets rather lost under Adam's much louder protest of the same.

But the red-haired lady - Adam's sister - takes not the slightest notice of either of them.

If Jamie were feeling better, he might protest as she drags him off and up the stairs towards the kitchen. As it is, he can just manage to shoot daggers glances back at Helen and Joris - this wouldn't be happening if they'd stepped up to the plate! - before they're out of sight.
