Junia set down the ring and patted a chair next to her while she got up and walked around her workshop, gathering metals and papers. "What exactly did Cinthia say you were to do?"

"Be an 'ambassador.' She's just using it as a euphemism for police."

She chuckled. "I think that's just an excuse to make you stick around–for Tess's sake. You'll end up BSing everything." She tapped the table thoughtfully. "Policing multiple peoples is impossible. They have their own rules that they follow."

He sighed. "I'm just apprehensive about staying somewhere. I've been moving my whole life, seeing everything, not having to worry about if I see that one person I don't like today or looking good for someone that I will."
group
She raised a brow "You make that sound like you're worrying about it now."

"It's cause I am."

She went back to scurrying around her workshop. "Does this have anything to do with your father and Tessa?"

"Dad comes around and Imma rip his neck off. But it's Tess. Cin put all of the pressure on me to help her, and I have no clue how."
group
Junia shook her head. "Thia doesn't even know how. Is there anything you did with Tess to make her think you would be better for her?"

"She randomly burst into tears in a restaurant today, but other than that, I don't know."
group
She startled when she heard that. "She…cried?"

He nodded. "It was awkward."
group
"She's…. never done that in front of somebody. Well, except Andy, but she's mute, so she can't exactly tell about it."

He shrugged, not really knowing what else to say.

Junia flicked her fingers around, manipulating balls of metal to become earpieces and adding spells to help with suppressing the side effects of Runner's abilities. "Don't fret too much. Tess will help herself if she wants to."

He rubbed her face. "I guess."

Junia held up her finished product, scrutinizing it. Satisfied, she handed them to Runner. "Try these."

He slipped them into his ears, sighing through his nose in relief. "Thank you."
group
"You're welcome." She beamed, glad they worked and that Runner was satisfied. She picked up a spare lump of ore and twirled it between her fingers. "Y'know, while we're here… you might want to get something for Tess as an apology for leaving…" she smiled and shot a sly look his way.

"Daw, shit. Forgot about that. What should I get?"
group
She continued to twirl the ore. "Hmm. A ring? A necklace? Some pretty earrings?"

"Is she into that type of stuff?"
group
Junia gave him an 'are you serious' look. "She's a thief. Have you seen her stash? She steals from my shop every chance she gets."

"Oh, yeah. But I have no money."
group
"I'll send the bill to Thia." She tossed the ore in the air, then caught it again. "So, what will it be? You're customizing it."

"I am not the person you want doing that. Just…do what you think she'd like."
group
"Nope. You're customizing." She grinned. "More personal."

"I don't even know where to start." His frustration was beginning to build.

She sighed. "You're ruining my fun." She sat down and started sketching. She beckoned for Runner. "Come here."

He walked over, clasping his hands behind his back to hide the swirling dragon.
