Welcome to Gaia! ::

She stopped with the giggles, but she was still smiling. "Since it looks like my gifts fit alright, I suppose there is nothing else in particular."

Well, there was that one thing, but Sherry was fine with pretending it never happened. Yes, yes she was.



Sherry decided it was best to ignore the weapon. "Are you saying," she gave Jake a questioning look, "you don't want me barging in here on a regular basis? I mean, it wasn't my original intention, but the door was open. And you have a history of not answering when I knock, so...." Every awkward feeling came back. "Sorry."

[A.V.]

Every single word he said was spot on.

Sherry sheepishly looked down at her hands. "Sorry," she repeated. "It was habit. And then I just, felt really weird about watching you sleep." She shut her mouth then, afraid to say anything more. Her mouth just liked to run away with her when she was nervous.



Sherry rolled her eyes. I hate it when you two are on the same page.

not.> Armagnac was grumbling now.

Sherry would have looked at Jake, but by now she was almost too embarrassed to. He just had to call her out and be right about it. "Well," she climbed off the bed, "does this mean you'll actually answer the door in the future? 'Cause I'll stop barging in if I can count on you to answer."

"Understood." Sherry was nodding at the floor.

Was the weapon's voice full of what Sherry would call contempt? Yes, it was.

Sherry glanced over in time to catch of glimpse of the things Jake had uncovered. The book drew her attention, and she spent a moment or two trying to decipher what it was about. It reminded her heavily of a few other tomes she'd seen, the ones that had led them to that mountain.

Jake's question caused her attention to shift back to him. "Well, if you're offe--" Her hand flew to her mouth as she realized what she was saying. "Yes. Yes, I'm leaving." She was also turning bright red again.

Armagnac was laughing.

Sherry was at the door a moment later, but before running through it, she stopped and asked one more question. "Um. You wanna spare by any chance?"

Armagnac stopped laughing. What? Sherry asked the weapon. She just didn't feel like going and sitting quietly in her room. Too many ideas and emotions running around inside her. She needed to let off some steam.

She almost smiled at his agreement to a spar. But he had to go follow it up with that. So instead of a smile, Jake was given a smirk tainted with annoyance.

"Yes. Yes I did. And it means I'm going to beat the tar out of you." Then she smiled at him. "Seeing as I did wake you, and for that I apologize again, why don't you send me a message when you're ready?" She didn't know if he needed to eat or something.

"I'll be around." Then she nodded and slipped out the door.
