Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was a good thing Jake wasn’t voicing all of his thoughts, Sherry might have decided to smack him, however lightly, for thinking silly things like it would be better to be disposed of. Silly boy.

To be honest, Sherry was earning something from all this training, too, though she was happier about the time spent with Jake than about the actual training part. (Armagnac thought this was silly.) Training for herself was a plus, though, not the reason she’d agreed to help.

“Silly Jake,” she chuckled. At least he said he was feeling better, and he seemed know realize that he shouldn’t push himself too far. “You just try going after another titan anytime soon and see what happens. I will be putting a stop to silliness like that, you can be sure.” Another kiss was placed on his cheek. They would just have to find something else he could do, something that didn’t involve giant insanity beasts.

Sherry only grinned. “Yes.” It was indeed a threat, though she was still not certain how she would go about stopping him. Despite what Armagnac said, and what her job was, violence was rarely the answer. All in all, though, perhaps it was best Jake was horrible at reading between the lines. Armagnac was certainly grateful. (Not that Sherry had hidden agendas…Of course she didn’t.)

“Haha!” She had to laugh at his out loud musings. “You don’t want minipet duty? They are such cute things, though.” Still holding his hand, she sat down on the stool again. “You know, I heard about a few other assignments we could see about picking up. Supply runs, or something. They shouldn’t be too much trouble, but it’s something to do.”

She shrugged. “We could check them out as soon as you’re feeling better.”

Sherry really should know that Jake doesn't pick up on hints well...not that she was sending any. Besides, he was injured and depressed, so now was not the time-

"They are not all terrible. Lt. Fuzzyduke is a ball of delight...." She should make sure he was still down in the lab sometime. She had kind of donated him to science, but still, she'd named the little thing.

"Um," Jake's question brought her attention back to him. "I'm not quite sure. It looked pretty standard. One of them did. The other had certain lists..." Sherry looked thoughtful while she tried to remember. She'd been in a hurry when she'd learned about them. "Both had to be pretty standard. Involved shopping. I think a couple of the leads had specific lists, too." She shrugged again. "Look liked they involved actual stores, though. Not stealing or anything, since they came with a budget."

Sherry didn't catch that stare, but she still thought Lt. Fuzzyduke had a fine name. It wasn't like she was naming a child or anything. Just a ball of fluff made from fear.

"I think so," she replied to his first question. "I didn't see any restrictions. I think someone mentioned everyone being monitored..." she paused for a moment in thought, "and any personal spending is out of pocket. Fairly certain I heard that much."

She looked at Jake again. "Do you want to see if that's something that's still open? You know, when you're feeling better?" As in not right at this moment, considering everything.

Sherry wasn't cruel, she'd never dream of giving a child a silly name like that. Probably.

"I think so. I'm not sure what they meant, but I suppose they want to keep an eye on the money." She figured that was what they meant by monitored. It made sense, at least.

"Okay. We'll do it." She smiled again and stood. "I'll come and check on you again later." Sleep would be good for him. Squeezing his hand again (she liked his hands ok) she leaned over for one quick good-bye kiss. "Rest well."
