[Excuse the owlish-eyed girl with the weird pasted-on smile. She has things to talk about!]

Attention...!

I will not use names, because I don't want to embarrass them, b-but...! I needed to tell a very particular pilot something very important! And that is this: if you do d-decide to propose to Miss L — to, ummmm... to your girlfriend, you should not give her a ring made out of spaceship parts. Because that's kind of strange to wear. I believe that sort of advice should be applied to everyone, though...!

Unless the person you love really, really, really enjoys spaceships.

I suppose we should all wear what makes us happy!

I do admit, I've always wanted jewelry... I-I mean, I know they're very expensive most of the time, but I've never gotten to wear any before. Maybe I should make some! Oh, but I don't think I would be very good at it... Is there a particular way to make nice jewelry, even for someone like me? Necklaces and rings and....

....

I don't think I can wear earrings. That seems like it would hurt.

Ah!! I apologize, I guess I've been thinking so much about different topics! Like — games, and stories, and stuff to wear, and so many new things that I've never gotten to enjoy myself before. I think I even have.... friends! Do I? Is there a level that I need to reach with people before I can be friends with them? P-perhaps there's a way to officiate friendships...

Maybe with rings, like marriage! Friendship rings!!

[thebarkside]

Iii'm... gonna bring you a present, okay!

[ wow, jade, way to be a creeper. but she sounds chipper, at least. ]

[voice]

[scrubscrub]

Ah!! A present, for me?!

You don't have to...! I-I mean, I'm sure there are others more suited for presents!

[voice]

[thebarkside]

Nah! I want to give it to you. That's okay, right? Where could I find you?

[voice]

[scrubscrub]

You're too kind; I'm aboard the Huntress!

I have to finish up some chores, b-but you're more than welcome to come and help yourself to some of the fresh tea I've brewed! I'm getting better at it, I think.

[voice]

[thebarkside]

[ she got pretty good at pretending to like tea when she was dating draco, but... ]

Hehe, sure. It sounds great. I'll be there in about... thirty minutes, okay?

[voice]

[scrubscrub]

That will be absolutely fine, miss!

I would never want you to rush yourself. Take your time!

[thebarkside]

[ jade will end the conversation with a little text smiley face, and true to her word, does arrive in almost thirty minutes on the dot. she's never been on the huntress before, so she'll be stepping light as she looks around for the younger girl. ]

[scrubscrub]

[SHE IS HERE.

And by here I mean climbing the kitchen counter to scrub the highest of cabinets.

Don't mind her, little lady at work. So focused, so determined!

... Despite the fact that everything looks super clean anyway.]

[thebarkside]

[ and whoah!! jade will just be a little alarmed and a lot amused, sort of idly moving to stand near her. ]

Sheeesh, you are up super high!! Do you want some help?

[scrubscrub]

Oh, no, I'm fine! I've been doing sort of thing for years; I have very good balance!

[She looks back and down with a pleased smile.]

You're Jade, aren't you?
