It had been an interesting past few days. Ever since the month became August, her mood had shifted to angst and sorrow. Once again, she had run away from Jushirou's home to try and sort things out in her own mind. Sorting things out usually meant a brutal homicide or two, but now that she was with the AMC and not an assassin, things had changed. Now that she was in a relationship, even more had changed. There was a sense of guilt she felt going to another man's house, but this was good for her. She needed to get out, to have fun, and to keep her mind off the anniversary of her brother's death.

Feeling as though she should be less flashy than an assassin, she wore something comfortable but still fashionable. That also meant that she was driving her cheapest vehicle, which was still more expensive than most motorcycles in the city. Holding her helmet at her hip with a bottle of vodka in her hand, she ran his doorbell. Within, she heard Captain Bradley moving about and toward the door

"Ah, wonderful. I don't imbibe often, but every now and then can't hurt," he laughed, taking the bottle and setting it down on a large oak dining table. There was several pastries and snacks on platters, as well as hot and cold tea.

"Please sit," he said, beckoning her to take the seat across from him. He placed down a pack of cards between them and started shuffling.

"So tell me a bit about yourself."

Jinx smiled this time, actually happy for the time being. Somehow, some way, she felt like she had been here before. She felt like they were old friends and she was coming over for a weekly poker game. Normally, in front of new company, she put a barrier between herself and the other person, acting almost hostile, trying to show that she could kill him in a matter of seconds. Yet right now... it was nice to be here and now, and be herself. Not too much herself, though. She needed to make a good impression for Jushirou's sake

"Do I?" he laughed, pouring himself a shot. He took down the bitter liquid with no expression on his face, quickly followed by another.

"Nothing like a little wetting to take the edge off, right?" he smiled, shuffling the cards once more and dealing them out, "Let's just try to have fun with it."

He shook hands with her, giving a slight nod.

"It's a pleasure. I'm glad to be here. I want you all to know that I'm always accessible and there never need be any walls between you all, and myself."
