[ jade lets out a little laugh - it's not quite a giggle. ]

I see... Well, Dirk, I want to know what your intentions are with my grandson! Are you going to do your best to make sure he's happy?

[ this is the most ironic roleplaying jade's ever participated in. ]

And you will make sure to go on as many movie dates as he wants, and to be honest when he asks you what you want to do on a date?

[ okay, cool. there is one tiiiiiiiny thing she wants to see if he'll promise, though. ]

You'll accept all of his compliments and see them for what they are, too, right?

[ after all, jade wants dirk to be happy, too, even if that means being kind o sneaky about getting him to accept some people think he is just. so. cool. ]

[ hmmmm. how to word this. ]

Relationships are tough! Sometimes... you have to be selfless enough to accept what someone is saying is just the honest truth. Or... talk to them when they need it.

[ #hangupsoverdavesprite ] Basically... I want you to let Jake show affection for you, and not just rebuke it. Because I think he can make you happy, but you have to be ready to accept that, first. Is that weird? You can court him, but I want you to be happy and feel better about yourself, too. I think Jake would like that.

[ jade extends a hand, the other gripping the wet flowers as gently as possible. ]

Okay! You have my permission to court Jake.

[ oh, yeah, she's gotta seem menacing or something, that's how it works?... uh. ]

Do you know about how wolves hunt?

[ oh. jade pouts, briefly, before letting go of his hand to place her's on her hip. ]

Let's just say that you will be assuming wrong about how I hunt, even if I'm part Bec now, if you hurt Jake, then.

[ does that work? does it work? was that a good threat??? ]

[ aw, man. ]

I am not really good at seeming threatening, I'm sorry! I think I am supposed to be in this instance, but the best I can manage is threatening to beat you up, I think.

[ OH EW ]

Sounds more like a punishment for me!

[ as if she didn't make nearly that exact threat to roxy ]

Are you trying to ask to eat heart tonight?

Why surprised? I would think this is good news for you!

You know what I mean, mister! Maybe I should rescind my blessing, hmmmm...

...Just kidding. Even those threats are kind of empty with Godtier, aren't they? It would be a better idea to snap your spinal column just so, that keeps you alive but in a lot of pain and unable to move. You'd be a good rug with such nice, fluffy hair. Like a baby chick! You could serve as a reminder to all of Jake's suitors, I guess?

Wow, that was really morbid, I am sorry!
