sounds good to me. ( jill decided to walk next to grace. eyes looking around for a bit. )

it's okay for me. it's giving me a reason to do something different for a few hours. ( explaining softly. eyes momentarily washing over grace. )

[─┄┈ 🖨 @fbicroft]

( relief washes over from the accepted offer. ) i can show you our forensic labs, to s-—start.

( taking the lead, inviting jill to walk alongside her. ) midwest field's sorta big.. it must be tiring conducting these inspections, isn't it?

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 𝕵ⁱˡˡ 𝓥ᵃˡᵉⁿᵗⁱⁿᵉ. @starsbadged]

being around all the time — i did not really had time to inspect the department you're in. ( a soft nod coming from the other woman. )

of course you can show me around.

[─┄┈ 🖨 @fbicroft]

ah! ( if grace could get any stiffer, she'd be as sturdy as wood. ) i, i i can help! with.. well, if you're looking for someone to accompany you, that is. ( mien tilts at the older, hopeful. ) if you'll allow me.

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 𝕵ⁱˡˡ 𝓥ᵃˡᵉⁿᵗⁱⁿᵉ. @starsbadged]

grace just that this aura around her that made jill let her guard down. — at least she wanted to be friendly around her. unlike she was around everyone else.

" just a little surprise visit. checking out other departments and stuff. "

[─┄┈ 🖨 @fbicroft]

( oh, wow. her smile momentarily pulls grace out of her introverted bubble, blinking away the surprise of a very friendly militant ; shoulders stiffen .ᐟ ) it—-- it's surprising to see you here, miss valentine! are you here on b, business?

so many people though that about her. her being intimidating , which she actually wasn't when people knew her a bit better. a soft smile being placed on her lips.

" hello , miss ashcroft. how can I help you ? "

[─┄┈ 🖨 @fbicroft]

( stealing a glance, managing an awkward smile. jill carried an intimidating air ; owe it to her military experience, probably. everyone in the army seems to have that air about them.. ) h, hh—--hey! ^^

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 𝕵ⁱˡˡ 𝓥ᵃˡᵉⁿᵗⁱⁿᵉ. @starsbadged]

she got no problem with the blonde woman. grace more likely had this calming aura that made jill not loose her mind.

( she's ambitiously ignoring the elephant in the room. fixing her glasses, 🌀* )

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 𝕵ⁱˡˡ 𝓥ᵃˡᵉⁿᵗⁱⁿᵉ. @starsbadged]

he doesn't need to be scared. not like he did anything to make her mad. right ?

[ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠᴸᴱᴼᴺ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ𝕶𝙴𝙽𝙽𝙴𝙳𝚈 @requiemprotects]

slow blinking. a tad bit scared.

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 𝕵ⁱˡˡ 𝓥ᵃˡᵉⁿᵗⁱⁿᵉ. @starsbadged]

don't mind her staring at the * 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐑. she has a habit lately.

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 𝕵ⁱˡˡ 𝓥ᵃˡᵉⁿᵗⁱⁿᵉ. @starsbadged]

just a really small smile from her.

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 𝕵ⁱˡˡ 𝓥ᵃˡᵉⁿᵗⁱⁿᵉ. @starsbadged]

( See , she's stunning when she smiles. )

You welcome , Sheva.

[𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐕𝐀 𝐀𝐋𝐎𝐌𝐀𝐑. @SOCIUMADFINUM]

( Speaking of, there's a smile. )

Thank you, Jill.

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 𝕵ⁱˡˡ 𝓥ᵃˡᵉⁿᵗⁱⁿᵉ. @starsbadged]

That's kinda nice of you to say. You got a pretty one too.

[𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐕𝐀 𝐀𝐋𝐎𝐌𝐀𝐑. @SOCIUMADFINUM]

But when you do, it's a lovely sight.

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 𝕵ⁱˡˡ 𝓥ᵃˡᵉⁿᵗⁱⁿᵉ. @starsbadged]

Well, definitely appreciated. Even when I never really smile.

[𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐕𝐀 𝐀𝐋𝐎𝐌𝐀𝐑. @SOCIUMADFINUM]

Jill has a pretty smile. . .
