⠀ At this compromising angle, all it takes is a little crane of her neck to spy that wayward gaze peering her way. But a smirk is coaxed nonetheless. ❝ Enjoying the view❓ ❞ ⠀

⠀ It's been a 𝙝𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙘 day . . . Jade's allowed to 𝐮𝐧𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐝. #𝐒𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲 ⠀

⠀ ❝ Ugh—— it's just … I hate twiddling my thumbs between jobs. A girl can't dispatch monsters if she's already ticked off 𝘢𝘭𝘭 of the interesting quests on the board. There's such a thing as being 𝒕𝒐𝒐 efficient, I guess. ❞ ⠀

❝ … There's 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐲 to be found in an urban sprawl. It's just a 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 form of it. You know —— bathing in the 𝘨𝘭𝘰𝘸 of a city's light … it 𝘢𝘭𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 reminds me of home. Minus the calamitous beasts. 𝑯𝒐𝒎𝒆. That was a long time ago. ❞

⠀ 𝒀𝒆𝒔, she's awake—— 𝐍𝐨, she wasn't loafing around. 💢 She's been butchering beasts 𝒂𝒍𝒍 night. ⠀

Been a hot minute. Who still fw Jade?

It's a dipping into the spring kind of morning.
