Bag packed with her sketchbook, raw meat, and grapes, Kanaya found herself ready for the journey to the park. The walk from her new place was a bit longer than before, so even though she lingered while choosing a workout outfit -- a simple white shirt and roomy ankle-length red skirt -- she overshot the timing and arrived nearly twenty minutes early.

She tucked herself beneath a tree near the upbeat dance class, pulling out her sketchbook. The wispy hair, flabby arms, and neon leotards would serve as good drawing subjects and an easy-to-follow beacon for her fellow superpowered peers to home in on.

A Foolish Man

[hoperidesagain]

Jake didn't turn himself around until he was sure Feferi had become more clothed, shaking his head as he rubs at his eyes. This woman was too much to handle and he barely even knew her. Lord have mercy if he were to get to know her better. Which honestly when she wasn't being a whirling force of attempting to kill him, she was nice to be around. He'd just have to get better at handling the deathly times.

But something else caught his attention as he felt...It was hard to ever explain. But he had felt this before with Dirk at the cafe after his incident...and when he had been talking to Jane. Like something negative was just sucking in the light around an area...and he realized it was just a soft feeling coming from Jane. She was losing hope about something.

So he walked himself over and clasped her shoulder with his hand, giving a squeeze and then a thumbs up with the other. "I'd love to spar with ya, Janey! And...uh..." He glanced over his shoulder, leaning in and regarding her with caring eyes, voice soft for just her to hear. "...you okay there? You seem a bit...down."

A Foolish Gal

[mustachioedmaiden]

"I'm alright, dear." Jane said with a little smile, hoping that it passed as convincing enough. She hated how her heart skipped a bit as he looked at her like that, her own eyes meeting his warmly. But now, knowing what she knew about Dirk, she wasn't sure she could say anything more on good conscience. She walked away a bit from the group, shooting a meaningful, understanding glance back towards Dirk before turning to face Jake head on, setting her stance. "It's been a while since I've sparred; ever since dad died I just haven't had it in me like I used to." she said, quickly changing the subject. "You'll have to forgive me if I'm a bit rusty."

Emotions Are Difficult

[hoperidesagain]

Jake bit his lip as he was a bit worried about Jane, if he was honest with himself. Something was nagging at him that there was more going on with her than she was letting on, but she'd just say something if that was the case right? She wouldn't not say something. That'd be silly. Right?

He shook his head of those thoughts, letting her walk a bit ahead. "Hold on!"

He turns back to Dirk and Feferi, giving them both a small wave and clearing his throat. "Strider, we should probably talk again soon. And Feferi, I uh...Hope to see you at the cart again! There'll be another fish sandwich or two with your name on it. Have a good one!"

And then he was off back with Jane, smiling to her and clapping her on the back. "Don't worry. I'm sure you'll mop the floor with me."

Dirk: Abscond

[coltblooded]

Jane was looking at him strangely, but he didn't get a chance to ask about it before she and Jake were saying their goodbyes and wandering off. He waved absentmindedly to them. His mind was elsewhere as he imagined himself locked in his quiet, dark bedroom.

He nudged Feferi with his foot.

"Hey. I don't need to spar with any of the amateurs, so I'm heading home."

[lunaquatic]

Feferi slid an arm around his waist and leaned into him affectionately before looking up at him. "Do you want a ride?" she asked. She didn't feel particularly interested in sparring with amateurs either but there were still a lot of people to interrogate. Still, she'd brought him and she'd take him home too. They could discuss what they had learned and perhaps he would have more information about why Jane said her mother had been THE Betty Crocker.

[coltblooded]

Dirk tolerated the affection for a moment, then gently nudged her away. He shook his head in answer.

"I'll walk." He replied.

He glanced around the park until he spotted Dave. He didn't look like he was in any danger, so Dirk went against his gut instinct and let him be. (Though he did send him a quick text, letting him know he was leaving.)

"I'll see you around."

He didn't wait for her to answer before he walked away, heading in the wrong direction before he remembered they'd been forcibly moved. He changed course, but kept up his slow pace. He wasn't really in a hurry.

[lunaquatic]

Feferi watched him go, then cupped her hands around her mouth when he was some distance away. "Message me when you get HOME!!! Or isle come check on you later!!!!!" she called, grinning. She didn't think he wouldn't make it home, but it never hurt to be sure.

She propped her hands on her hips and surveyed the area, wondering who could best use her unique skill set next.
