"Step by step, we'll get through."

*Mx sticks its tongue out after the mispronunciation- Seems words even betray it, heh...

Anyway!!!! Hm, hmmm ....

-⏳🔆

Jane stifles a laugh.

My poor, poor precious worms ........ !!!!!!

((Worm typo, but. IT CAN STAY-))

-⏳🔆

But words are my THING.... im the WORD guy!!! Well, not guy, or gal, and I haven't done the word thing in FOR-EVER... BUT IM THE WORD FELLA!!!! WORDS ARE MY JAM~ If not justice done by words, then whats left!! ACTIONS!? PSSSHHHHHH....

*It playfully crosses its arms, jokingly hurumphing-

-⏳🔆

Okayokay, what I was to tell you was.. It really was fitting. But the stars aren't good enough of a descriptor, they don't do you just enough justice with one singular expanse of beauty.. the cosmos, maybe! Yeah! The cosmos!!! Perfect!!!!

*Mx smiles as it talks, continuing to swirl the tea in its palms.

-⏳🔆

"Oh stop it your making me blush!" Jane says doing a slow mock swipe at the air.

*Mx swirls its tea in its palms with an almost knowing smirk, but says no further.

Anywhos, I never did get to finish my sentence earlier!!! Before you got busy!!

-⏳🔆

So, Jane!!!

How'd you get into this line of work?

*It already knows, you've told it so yourself, but... it wants to hear it again.

-⏳🔆

I would love that, thank you!! I haven't had tea in a long while. Loooooonnng, long while..

-⏳🔆

Jane goes off and some how quickly returns with some tea. It shouldn't be possible to make tea this fast...

*Mx is fiddling with the collar of its shirt again.

So like.. what would you like me to do?

-⏳🔆

I would love that!!!!!

*SMILE AND NOD, MX, SMILE AND NOD.... THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY OF GETTING THROUGH THE THINGS YOU DONT KNOW

Though I must admit I HAVE been having weird dreams lately... not sure why, really!

*Mx says that with almost a wink... almost. Its hard to tell under those cloudy glasses.

-⏳🔆

Jane gives a warm smile back.

"Well if you need to talk to someone about it or anything really just let me know. I may be a talk show host but I sure can listen hahahaha!"

"Like how you listen to me about finances?" John says with a smirk.

"Oh John we both know that's your territory and I am far beyond such trivial low life matters" Jane says lightheartedly doing a mock wave with her hand.

Thank you again!!

*It combs its hair back out of its face with its fingers, as the pieces fall back in place infront of its glasses.

You're so kind, how can I ever repay 'ya~?

-⏳🔆

"Oh dear your presence is already enough to pay me back tenfold~" Jane says with a smirk.

Johns eyes widen for a bit as he tilts his head quizzically. He opens his mouth to say something but stops himself.

What a nice place!! Wowie!!!!!!

-⏳🔆

"Why thank you dear. You can stay here until we can find you a place of your own! As they say, mi casa es su casa"

((:sleepycatgif: I am ! nnnot awake))

The scene quickly changes and it seems they have just exited a car. The city around them is blurry and empty... The only building with detail stands before them. Its a highrise building that is very very very fancy. Oh my gosh they even have a ton of decorative plants! They eventually make their way to the room belonging to John and Jane. Its a decent living place way above average but somehow... Not extremely fancy if that makes any sense.

Thank you for the kind offer, though. I appreciate it.

*Mx twirls a strand of its hair in its fingers.

-⏳🔆

*Mx shudders, shaking its head.

*...

*WHAT.

-⏳🔆

"I beg your pardon?" Jane says having just stepped into the room to hear this.

*Mx chuckles nervously. Ohhh.. its made it so awkward, hasnt it...

-⏳🔆

Okay THAT isnt helpful, drats, uhhh- Salvage this, Mx, salvage-

*Mx takes a deep breath, pushing a calm smile and clasping its hands together. It speaks in a keel manner, but mostly in a way that its trying to rectify the sittuation before it gets out of hand.

Yes. Sledgehammer. But- I.. uh. It's okay now. I'm okay. Don't worry about it.
