Unwanted reminders (tagging Tide)

"I don't know if you heard me coming in, but those rocks are damn sharp. Like hell was I jumping down onto them from a height that is great than I am tall in human form." She looked up at him, the bit of loose skin around her neck all bunched up. "I don't know about you, but i like not limping around." When he released her, she would gingerly pick her way back to her clothing. Shifting back into human form, she cursed as she found a sharp rock.

"Point is proven." Wiggling back into her clothing, she slipped her shoes on. "Okay. I'm ready." Picking her way carefully back, she tried to keep the cursing to a minimum. Flats really weren't the best option when it came to rocky surfaces. She would swear she felt every sharp pointy rock go into her arch. "Did you want to grab anything on the way back? I have access to the kitchen and I know where there is some chocolate cake about to be thrown out in the morning."

"Yes. When you least expect it since you know about it." And once she actually get some good shoes to do so. Before she knew it though, she found herself in Nec's arms, feet off the rocks. Her body instantly relaxed against his, muscle memory taking over. It wasn't like he was about to dunk her someplace. He wouldn't get his cake otherwise.

"Yes. If it is about to go bad anyway, I can totally have some before it is tossed. Anyone is. Lasagna hates food wastes and anything that can lessen it, he will do." Including giving the food to the employees or away to people as they left the restaurant. Usually it was mostly desserts as they were a bit harder to control on quantity, but there were also vegetables most nights and sometimes some meat. It really all depended upon so many factors that Jasper didn't know how he did it. "So no need to worry about anything."

"Oh. The pointiest one I can find. Only the best for you Nec." Laughing, she sighed as she felt the sand beneath her feet. And immediately in her shoes. But she would take soft sand over hard rocks anyway. "I was hoping you would say that! So come on!" Reaching out, she grabbed his hand and started tugging on him, laughing as she did so. Nec could totally out walk her, but for now, she was in the lead and was going to take advantage of it.

Jasper was enjoying this walk. The cool night air. Being with a friend. Going on a food raid. It was all nice. Walking the streets, she took shortcuts whenever she could. Leading him through the shorter side streets and alleys. Soon, she could see the back door of the restaurant off in the distance. "So do you want to just take the whole cake back to your room or what?" Letting go of his hand, she went to go pick the lock on the door. She liked to keep her skills sharp and still did this, despite having a key.

Jasper barked out a laugh as she glanced towards the swords, eyes ringed in blue. "Yep. That's me." Reaching into her pocket, she pulled out a key. "A thief with a key. Ever heard of practice? I like to keep my skills sharp." Opening the door, she gestured inside. "Did you want any food or anything?" Jasper wasn't thinking anything of it. Just a person down on their luck and she already knew that Lasagna didn't care if people like him ate the food there.

Glancing at Nec, she tilted her head. "Hey...Rocky?" Reaching out, she tapped his arm. "You okay?"

"Well, I don't know who else you will be talking to." She looked between Nec and this new comer. Tugging his arm, she tried to push him towards the door. "I know you can read Rocky. Find the chocolate cake with today's date on it. Don't worry okay. It will be okay." She would give him a reassuring smile. "Decide how much you want to take and then bring it back out okay?" She was trying to get him out of the situation. Once that wannabe Nec revealed himself, Nec hadn't...Yeah. Nope. Different problem.

"Now do you want something to eat or not? Cause my patient is gonna wear thin with you." She turned around, hands on her hips. "I ain't scared of you so don't even try it." And Jasper truly wasn't. She had faced down worst foes. She could face down this.
