Alex would never be allowed to introduce Jackie to her music playlist... lmao.

        “It’s open.” A knock emits from the opposite end of the office door and it’s her vocal chords that are the only thing to acknowledge it. Head remains down, pen still sweeping and scribbling across the form on the desk before her. Rude, she’s aware. But the last time she had an entire moment to herself? Never. She’s exaggerating. Maybe last Tuesday. Maybe. 

        But when her gaze finally lifts to meet another, her chin picks up and the writing utensil in her hand stops mid-stroke to drop. “Jacqueline-- Jackie.” A hand raises to grip the frame of her reading glasses, to pull them off of the bridge of her nose, to fold and discard them before pushing herself away from the desk and to stand up. Feet carry her over across the room, fingers smoothing out the wrinkles in her pencil skirt. Icy blues, wide. Her grin, wider. “Hi.”

“Here..” rising to her full height, Lexa stepped back from the suitcase she had been going through in hope for supplies they could take back to camp and took the few steps to where her companion was. “.. don’t say I never give you anything.” the soldier spoke after dropping the hat on Jackie’s head which covered most of her face. Backing a step away she admired her handiwork and nodded in approval. “Looks good on you.” the corner of her lips curled in a gentle smile, enjoying the lightness of the situation since the last couple of days when hell had broken loose. Literally, to some worshipers she encountered during he station at one of the makeshift camps. A prison, in her opinion. To keep them from harm and control the situation as scientist researched a cure against the rapidly spreading virus. It became nothing but a barrier when all were ordered to return back to base. A thin wall that would never hold if a herd of the walkers came, yet their boss didn’t care. 

   “What’s wrong? You’ve never seen someone with a black eye?” Black eye. Busted lip. Stitched eyebrow. It had been a long day yesterday. 

@bulletforged​ -chews popcorn- the fact that she legit stalked him through the woods with no fucks about her own safety for him. the fact that he knew she was following him cause he heard her and didn’t say a word cause he found it amusing af that she thought she was being stealth. and that he knew he’d protect her if shit went down.
