she's not quite dressed yet, since putting her hair up is a lost cause without an extreme amount of hair spray. bigby's genes are relentless and the sheer volume of her lion's mane-slash-bird's nest is ludicrous, meaning that the easiest way to tame jade's hair is a thorough ironing. while elizabeth does her make up for the night (jade had made sure her father was excused so that she could change in her parents' room comfortably, of course), jade's heating up the flat iron next to her. she's got one of her shorter dresses on for the moment, because there's no way her father or mother would let her out of the house on a date with dave with her gams showing all their worth.
jade is still twiddling her thumbs, staring down at the iron. she's watch elizabeth pile on her make up countless times, just like she's watched bigby shave countless times. shuffling into the bathroom as a child under the guise "i gotta pee!" just to sit there and stare because the act of grooming yourself is so weird to you is a timeless classic. she doesn't do that anymore, though, because she's not seven anymore. jade has to groom herself now.
and now she's ironing her hair for a date just like her mother curls her hair for a date and it's all very different, and new and... it should be exciting, but. ]
Sooooooooo. Um.
[ good opener, jade. ]
Remember when you played that song on the guitar that neither of us really knew?
