Jade's Apartment 1} Rose and Jade
Rose hesitantly walked up to the entrance of the apartment. She was pretty nervous about seeing one of her close friends that she hasn’t seen in a while. She doesn’t normally feel like this around people, so she doesn’t handle it well. She slowly, softly knocks on the door of the apartment. “Hello.. Jade? It is me, Rose. I have arrived.” She wasn’t really sure what else to say, so she just awkwardly said the first thing that came to her mind.
Jade opened the door and smiled at her "Hey Rose!!" her tail wagged. She was so excited to see one of her friends and she pulled rose inside. "I'm so glad you came." she locked the door behind Rose "Welcome!!"
Rose stumbled ever so slightly as she got pulled into the apartment. She looked around a bit. “This is a very nice place you have here. And I am delighted to see you as well.” She lightly smiled at Jade.
"Thank you!! I worked really hard to make it look nice" She giggled her tail kept wagging. "Okay Okay I'll grab some of the stuff, have a seat...oh wait maybe I'll get you something to drink do you want something?"
She shakes her head “No, I’m alright. Thank you for offering anyway, Jade.” She sits in the closest chair or couch or something else she could sit on. She clutched her hands on her lap. Why was she so nervous? She’s never felt like this before.
Jade nodded and walked off to go grab some stuff. She came back out with a bag and set it on the couch. "I'm gonna get a glass of water too but you can look through the bag if you'd like" she walked into her kitchen and the faucet turned on.
“Okay, take as much time as you need doing that.” She was just so awkward today. Maybe it’s because she hasn’t had much interaction with people the past few weeks, so she doesn’t really know how to act around people. Still she tried her best to act like she wasn’t uncomfortable.
Jade grabbed herself a glass of water than walked back in. She sat down on the couch and took a sip before setting it down "I'm so glad you decided to come here!! I missed you a lot!"
She slightly sighed “Yes, I have missed you a lot as well. Have you spoken to any of our close friends lately? I have not.”
She sighed and looked ar her lap. Her ears flattened "I talked to dave a week or so ago but its been a while since I've seen him or john" she frowned sadly "I miss you guys but your always busy"
She looked at Jade with a smile
“I have talked with John recently about this thought I was having. I think it would be pretty nice if we all had a big sort of.. get together with each other. It would be nice to see everyone after a while. And Jade, you can talk to my any time i’m normally not occupied with something. It would be lovely to talk with you more often.”
"All four of us really need to do something, I miss hanging out with all of you" she sighed "and I'll make sure to get a hold of you more" she got in the bag she brought out and grabbed a jar of crystals "I miss the boys'
“Yes, me too Jade. I bet we all miss each other.” She sadly smiled as she looks at her hands on her lap. It was nice to see Jade, she hasn’t seen her in a while. But she just really wants for all of them to just hang out somewhere and talk about stuff.
She took some of the pretty rocks out and handed a couple to Rose. "Here you go sorry I'm a little less enthusiastic sorry, just thinking about everyone's upsetting me a bit"
"It upsets me as well. I will stop talking about it for now." She took the rocks and placed them in the center of her lap until she would use them. She did notice that Jade was being less enthusiastic ever since she brought the friend topic up. So she though she would stop so that she didn't make Jade more upset than she already is.
She poked the rocks in her own lap "I gave you Rose quarts," she chuckled a bit "they are healing"
She seemed to laugh a bit as well "Yes, I have observed that when you gave them to me." She wonders how everyone has been since she's last seen them. She wants to try and think about something other then her friends but she just cant seem to shake this slight sadness that she can't see all of them like she used to anymore. It makes her frustrated thinking about it.
She held her own stone in her hand and squeezed it. "I think we should get ahold of John and Dave soon, maybe I'll try and set stuff up I dony know"
Her eyes seemed to look less gloomy than before. "That would be.. very nice if we could all do something yes. I could help you set something up." She grinned softly at Jade.
"Squeze the Rose in your hand to charge it" Jade hummed smiling her big smile. She kept squeezing her own "also think off good things and good feelings to help. And I'll get us all together"
"Alright, whatever you say." She squeezed the object in her hand. Then she tried to get all of the bad thoughts and thoughts of stressing about things out of her mind to think about things that cheer her up, like reading fine literature and knitting things. Those were the things that at least calmed her down when things were aggravating.
Jade hummed and shut her eyes. She thought of all the things she loved and the good things in her life. Her tail started thumping against the couch and she happily sat. This dog girl screamed good energy.
Rose wondered how she could keep all of this good energy in place. How was she able to be this positive about things? She questioned her feelings for a while. She really needed to stop stressing out about things and just relax a bit sometimes because it can get out of hand for her if there's too many things happening at once. Her shoulders relax a smidge and she tries thinking about more positive thoughts, still clutching the rock in one of her hands.
Jade opened her eyes back up and looked over at Rose "they should be good by now, thanks for charging that for me, I'm not sure exactly what spell we want to do I mean if we just charged Rose quarts probobly a healing spell hmmm" Jade tapped her finger to her chin as her ears wiggled.
"That would probably be it. Unless you want to do some other kind of spell I'm okay with that." She tapped her finger on her chin waiting for her response
Jade giggled and got up then she sat on the floor. She pulled out matches candles some salt a bowl and a peice of paper. She set up an area in front of her and put her quarts in the bowl. She took a match out and lit all of the candles she set out. "Sit across from me"
"Alright." She got up from where she was sitting and sat cris cross on the ground across from Jade. Her eyes seemed to sparkle in the light of the candle whenever she looked at things that were surrounding the area around her.
Jade hummed and made sure to do her protection before picking up a peice of paper. "I want you to think of healing, in general think of things getting better and things feeling good" she wrote somthing on the paper crumpled the ball and put it in the ball with the quarts. She lit a match and set the ball on fire.
"As you wish, Jade." She closed her eyes and rested her hands on her knees. She did her best to think about things eventually getting better and things that were positive as well. She calmed herself and tried to think as positively as she could.
The fire flared up as well as the candles as Jade said a small group of words "quarts heal and love the people in this room," she hummed and the fire swelled for a couple seconds before dying down. "Thank you"
"No problem. That was enjoyable, I'm glad that we did this." She lets off another faint smile to Jade at she rests her hands back down on the ground again.
She snuffed all of the candles out and chucked "I'm glad you liked it, I hope this helped you seem like you arent doing to well right now" she frowned
"Don't worry about me Jade, I am doing just fine. All that I am concerned about is how other people feel, do you have any troubles that you need to share at the moment?" She looked into Jades eyes reassuringly and tilted her head slightly.
She knew this Rose and she knew she just wanted to help. "No Rose I dont need to load you with all my issues I'm alright"
"I assure you I will try my hardest to help you with any problems that you are having. You can tell me if you have any concerning thoughts, ill listen." All she wanted to do was to try and help Jade out with whatever problems she is having. She did not want to get too into her personal space though, so she wouldn't push it too much.
Her ears flattened "well..." she pursed her lips. She didnt want to overload her stuff on Rose but she also kind of did want to talk to someone about this. "I'm just...I'm really lonely" her tail curled she felt bad saying anything. This was stupid to be upset about it she should have just kept her mouth shut.
"Well Jade, I feel lonely sometimes too. I feel like there is no one around who will really stay with me and I just wish I could make more acquaintances sometimes. But what I do when I am feeling like this is think of all of the wonderful people who love and care for me and then it makes me feel less sad and alone. I am trying to think of all the best possible solutions to make you feel better about all of this, because seeing one of my closest friends sad makes me a little upset as well that I cannot assist them with their problems. Would you maybe like me to stay with you for an extended about of time? It is not like anything would be happening where I live. I would just have to contact Kanaya about this and it would be possible for me to stay with you for longer. I'm sorry I keep blabbering about this I will be quiet for a second and let you think." She sighs, half smiling at Jade while doing so.
Jade smiled back at her "yeah Rose I think that would be really nice, I meant more romantically but i also just need some company, thanks rose it means a lot" she leaned over and gave her a big hug. Her tail wagged and thumped against the floor. It was nice to have a friend that cared about her this much.
She enjoyed the hug a lot. No one has hugged her nor she has hugged anyone for as long as she could remember so this was nice. She wouldn't let anything happen to hurt her closest friends because she cared about them too much for that to occur. She smiled wider than she had been before.
Jade let her go and giggled "itll be like a long sleepover!! You should probobly go get stuff and I'll clean up and make some room for you" she clapped her hands together "this is gonna be so so much fun!!"
She laughed "It shall be very fun indeed. Should I go and head out so I can get my things now? Or would you like for me to stay a little longer and chat. Your choice."
"Um we'll have plenty of time to chat while your here and I have to work soon so you should grab your things now" she stood up "here I'll grab you a key" she hopped off grabbed a house key that looked cute and handed it to Rose.
Rose grabbed the key from Jades hand and put it in one of her sweatshirt pockets. She nodded. "Alright, I should get going then and getting my things together. I will see you when you get back from work." She starts getting up from her sitting position and grabs the bag that she brought with her in the apartment.
"Bye Rose!!" Jade waved at her as she left before starting to get her house cleaned up and ready for another person.
