Dropping in on a new life! (Distain and Shibby )

Stephen smiled and continued to eat his eyes very carefully avoiding her Annabelle's eyes he did not want to catch her gaze.
 
Stephen had only just reached the half way point when she was coming back the table now nearly empty. He gave her a weak smiled as she walked from the kitchen.
 
Stephen got up slowly after he finished the mean and walked into the kitchen putting his plate away smiling placing his hand one Eliza's back. "Let me do the dishes today you get stuck with them every day!" He smiled it was a good way to avoid Annabelle for the day.
 
Eliza looked at him and said "Oh, well thankyou" she said smiling and leaving the kitchen. Annabelle knew he was avoiding her. She thought it was a bit childish that he refused to look at her.
 
What was making Stephens stomach churn while he was cleaning the dishes was the fact he would have to speak with Annabelle about getting some protection. He searched his pack when he found the pack from his family and he had none he had left them on the plane.
 
Well since he was avoiding her, Annabelle made it her job to seek him out instead. She eventually found him in the kitchen and said "Its not like you to be washing" she said.
 
"I figured Eliza had earned a morning off. Besides... i don't do a damn thing around here on a normal day at least this way im being useful. " His hands worked slowly making sure not to stab himself with a hidden fork or knife.
 
"I'm avoiding you because i decided to do dishes? That is a bit of a stretch isn't it? " He took a deep breath hoping to hide the fact she was right.
 
"No you just don't like me! For no good reason. Forgive me if i crack jokes from time to time. I risked my life to help your country your people before my country was ever even involved! " He turned facing her tossing the dish he was holding back into the water with a splash. "Did you ever think i crack jokes all the time because I am a bit freaked out? I am not a soldier! I am not french! I am 10,000 miles from home and my family most likely thinks I am dead!" He snarled at her walking from the kitchen not giving her a chance to respond. "Forgive me if i don't feel like being judged right now... you can finish the dishes. " He walked from the room and up to his bedroom he had no clue why he snapped like that he just lashed out and that bothered him.
 
Annabelle stared at him as he yelled. She frowned at him as he left. She sighed angrilly and began to finish of the dishers. If only he knew...Adrien heard the shouting and he watched as he left. He came up behind Annabelle and hugged her. "Its alright..".
 
Stephen grabbed his jacket feeling terrible for yelling at Annabelle he wanted to go for a walk. He hoped to to get out of the building with out being noticed. He slipped into the sewers wanting to get a moment to himself.
 
Annabelle held onto him and closed her eyes. Adrien whispered to her that he would finish off the dishers. She nodded and left the room.
 
Stephen got down into the the sewer and took a deep breath holding the photo of his family he needed so badly to let them know he was okay ... but how. After an hour he came out of the sewer and walked back up to his room putting his coat away going back down where everyone was hanging out.
 
Elise was sitting with the rest of them. Annabelle had told her about what had happened. Elise stood and she walked over to him and said "I need to talk to you.."
 
He said nothing simply turned his hand guiding her from the room, he then let her lead him were ever she wished to talk.
 
Elise walked down to the cellar and said "There's something you need to know about Annabelle..." she said. She looked down and said "When annabelle was younger, training to be a doctor, she was attacked by a group of American men....she got away but ever since then she has been wary of men and foreigners...it's why she's so protective of me...and a little afraid of you..." she said.
 
Stephens heart broke for several reasons, one being he had blown up at someone with a real reason for not liking him. Another being this meant Annabelle would most likely never come with them if they tried to leave meaning Elise would not do so. "I am very sorry I... didn't mean to."
 
Elise looked at him and said "I'm sorry for not telling you, I didn't think it was my place to do so" she said softly.
 
"Oh...she wanted to tell you she was okay with it...but she found it childish you avoided her..." she said softly.
