#jadenkeventry

"The Beach Boys are most certainly festive! Have you not heart Little Saint Nick?!" Shea called out after a group of teenage girls walked away giggling like they'd won some major war, "I'll be you're all on the naughty list!" She shook her fist after them, glaring at them and their haughty attitude. "Stupid teenagers. Thinking they're so much better than everyone else." Shea continued grumbling until they were out of sight. And then she shook the mood. Last thing she wanted was to end up like Darcy the Grinch. She shivered at the thought.

She turned to continue on back to her apartment when she spotted her favorite, tallest reindeer. She squealed happily before taking off running, one hand on her santa hat so it wouldn't fall off; only releasing it once she reached him and she jumped up onto his back. "Jadennnn!" she said, hugging him around the neck, and wrapping her legs around his waist. She hoped he was used to this. Pretty much 85% of the time she spent with Jaden was spent in piggyback rides. "Hope you're feeling festive today!" she said, reaching down into her bag and grabbing one of the 18339 santa hats she carried around, then pulled it down onto his head.

It was a rare night when Rose actually went and sought out Jaden Keventry instead of the other way around. Complaining that if she was gonna resign herself to an uncomfortable night's sleep, she might as well sleep on a lumpy couch instead. Especially when that same couch was in a house that boasted central heating and the promise of a real breakfast in the morning. In all honesty, Jaden was kind of like the big brother Rose always wanted.

Not that Sage was a bad big brother or anything. It's just that now he lived a few towns over, so where else was Rose going to turn for any helpful brotherly advice and/or nudging towards health and wellness?

Plus it helped that Oxford Barr was much more casual than the other places Rose tended to frequent (thanks mainly to Pax's rich tastes and her likeliness to see him at such places, if Rose was honest), so it was easy to pop over after closing up the shop. Didn't have to worry about showing up in her high-rise cutoffs and Marvel Pop-Art tank top. Everyone else was dressed about the same anyway--Fall didn't really set in until November in Oxford.

Gaige might have been lurking. She didn't do it on purpose; nor was it really a conscious decision. It was just something that kind of... happened. She'd been cleared of rehearsal today because the coach had some business that needed to get done; and so instead, GG had decided to go shopping. She'd been through almost every shop in the square, but was still hanging around like she was waiting for something.

And within ten minutes of her lurking, she turned a corner and ran smack into what she'd been waiting for. Jaden. Before she even had a chance to stumble back from their collision, his large hands had gripped her arms and held her just where she'd been... right up against him. Suddenly she wished she were wearing a parka or something so she couldn't feel every line of the muscles on his chest and abdomen. It was making her remember when she'd seen those muscles without any shirt covering them...

Josie was on a mission tonight as she walked through the doors of Oxford Barr. After a painfully long day at work which consisted of way too many distractions (one in particular that was really getting on the blondes nerves and his name was Kol Svansson), she decided that she needed to just sit back and unwined. And what better way to do that than drinking until the sun came up?

Normally Hax was her go to guy when it came to this sort of thing; Unfortunately, the man was off doing some unwinding of his own which most likely consisted of committing petty thefts in the next town over. Either way, it hadn't been enough do damper Josie's plans, especially considering her visit to the famous bar and grill would allow her to see a certain werewolf.
