Realistic or Modern A Cupid's Guide to Love! [In Character]

Jace Sterling
Amaryllis
From one commotion to the next, the day seemed endless as Jace trailed behind Rue and Arashi, with Domi at his side. What awaited them was more bad news and the ever familiar flare of a headache that neared a migriane made itself known. Jace mentally ran through a list of things in his room that might be damaged by the faulty sprinkler system, but everything seemed manageable. What truly concerned him, however, was Domi’s side of things—and he would have to help clean that up too. "Do you have-- er, have anything in mind? On your mind? For the mission." Jace quickly surveyed the area, taking in the other residents of the apartment building. It was no surprise to see a sea of frustrated and anxious faces staring back at him, but one tenant stood out. A woman-Linally, wearing nothing but a bathrobe in the freezing cold. She had an oversized coat draped over her, but Jace doubted it was comfortable. With so many variables at play, it seemed unlikely they would get much done here. His gaze shifted back to Domi, still clinging to his arm, albeit a little tighter. Jace took note of the slight shiver of the girl's body that she tried to surpress. His own hands were beginning to feel numb too, a stark reminder that he hadn’t been prepared to be out this late. If he had known the mission would keep him out this long, he would have brought a warmer coat—one Domi could have used. "I think it'll be best if we went somewhere warmer for now," he said as the others started making their way towards the cafe, "the others are going to a-" "Hope to see you there, handsome." Jace froze, caught off guard. Before he could respond, Linally was already brushing past him. He watched her retreating figure for a moment, confusion settling in. What was that about? Her overly-friendly attitude had become something of a strange constant whenever they crossed paths, whether in the stairwell or outside taking out the trash. Complements and pleasantries dripped out of her lips everytime they meet and Jace couldn't recall doing anything to merit the closeness the woman seemed to imply between the both of them, but he couldn’t deny that it made him feel a little lost. Her attention, though never overtly invasive, always seemed a little too insistent. "Uh" Jace tried to continue, but the sudden encounter made him pause mid-sentence, "ah—yeah, the others are going to a... cat cafe? Let's stay there for a while, maybe observe." He finished the sentence, his mind already longing for the end of the day. But even when that came, he knew he wouldn’t get a good night’s rest—his bed was soaked, and a peaceful night seemed far out of reach.
