"Absolute promptness it will be," Jada assured her with an exaggerated wince, "Give or take about 5 minutes." It was lovely to have someone to talk to again who wasn't five, staff, or someone she knew through her evening adventures as Scylla. Just a nice, normal conversation, with a nice, normal old friend. For a nice, normal lunch. Bless, it was Jada's grown up Christmas wish come true.
Fiona's comment about fish made Jada's nose wrinkle in tacit agreement. "Fast food places for one, though those should be avoided as a whole." Though that didn't stop her when she was feeling particularly munchy at 1 AM. "Though, fast food french fries and milkshakes- for victory." she had no shame in that. Or she did, but she was hoping this would be a no judgement zone.
"Sounds like you have been busy," she said with warmth, "I never finished a degree. Nursing is an excellent choice, with all the.... problems we have in Destiny City, we need all the well-trained nurses we can get. But keeping up with that while working your parent's business must have gotten difficult. I'm impressed." Though she supposed the design firm required a little less on the international travel front than what Jada had been doing for the last few years.
Casually dating. With a wistful sigh, Jada shook her head. "I have a few exes. No one I fully clicked with, and... I've yet to meet someone who gets to know me and doesn't start deciding the alimony would be better than actually sticking with me." her lips curved. "I'm apparently either a terrible mess of a personal life, which I'd believe, or they've never heard of a prenup." And the people she'd met before she got clean, casual was all they knew. Jada wanted something a little more akin to loyalty, or at
least mutual affection. "Still looking, I suppose." She just had to be pickier, now, with the twins as her wards.
Tilting her head, she thought back to the time she had been gone. "Took the opportunity to explore some. Did some modeling- nothing runway, I'm far too short for that- visited some other countries. Worked for a while in a lawyer's office, a friend of dad's. Got fired. Went exploring some more. Avoided responsibility." she leaned back, resting her hands in her lap. There were gaps that she didn't know anyone well enough to share. Weights on her heart, mistakes she had made. Hope. "And now I'm back."
From Outer Space.
