rhapsodeity: (they can't live alone)

I am not...

[ jade's wrapping the flat section around the iron, curling it. her lips purse. ] I am not sure if I want him to know about... mine, yet? I want to... [ figure out enough that it's not as alarming. dad's the one you go to if the monsters are too much, mom's the one you go to if you want to dissect the monsters. figure out what makes them tick.

jade's interested in the latter more than the former. as much as she loves bigby, she has to admit she wants a scientist's mind at the moment, not a detective's gusto. ]
I wanna figure this out first.

There was... a dead man in the second, though. I recognized him.

[ jade irons out another section, larger this time. it turns out she's curling her hair for the evening, apparently. decided on a whim. ] It was Dave.

[ man, there will be a day jade can perfectly apply lipstick like that under stress. she's just not sure of when. probably whenever she has to put in actual effort towards her appearance. ugh. she pauses momentarily to watch her mother carve red into the corners of her lips, shaping them to her liking, with deep interest. she feels like she's seven again. ]

Yes.

[ immediately. she'd checked asap that dave was okay. jade sleeps like a log, so thankfully a morning text was all she needed to solve that problem... ]

He is perfectly fine and well, but when I saw him in my dre... my nightmare. [ she's right. it's a nightmare and goddamn if jade wasn't happy to see that it was just that. ] He... [ jade lets go of her hair to tag at her midsection in multiple spots. ] Bullet holes... Just... Everywhere.

[ it's hard but she looks determined to get the words out. she hasn't told a soul until now and it's been hard. ]

[ jade's always been the kind of child to hide her feelings, if they're negative. she's over the top about her bursts of happiness, with smiles brighter than the sun (buckteeth be damned), but when it comes to expressing sadness, she can rationalize it, bottle it up and put it away.

so her brow furrows and her eyes are a little wetter looking than they had been earlier, but she holds it in and goes back to curling her hair seamlessly. to the average person, it wouldn't look anything more than thoughtful. ]


It is not Déjà vu but, um.

[ jade's not terribly religious, but there is an influence, of course. her mother was raised pentecostal, her father is nebulous but not opposed and generally doesn't judge. as she's understood it, when life ends, there's nothing but heaven afterward. but. ]

It is like I... am remembering something I forgot. It felt important.

[ a short beat and jade breathes deep and slow, staring at her reflection. ]

I will definitely tell you.

Moooom!

[ not that jade fights against it - despite her shout, too, a grin cracks across her lips, and it's a laugh that echoes throughout the bedroom next. but it's a good reminder, you know, someone to bring her back to earth, nudging her with the knowledge that this is her family here. there's a lot of baggage to the wolfs, and it's understandable why: elizabeth and bigby had hard lives. they were teenagers deprived of normal existences in some way and that's why, jade imagines, they fit together so well. to that end, it's probably not a surprise that jade has her own problems, her own worries. her parents are great at what they do, and this is evidence of that, but teenagers are teenagers.

she's still smiling. ]


I know, we're all okay. I know. Even if it... If something happened to him before, right now, he's okay, and. [ it's unspoken but elizabeth probably knows what that silence means. it's a mutual family trait: sometimes what's not said says the most for them all. even if something happened to dave in this life, she'd stop it. ]

I'll tell Dad about it soon. I want to tell him myself, okay? Mr. Dawes having this problem as well means... you could be next so. Let us know, 'kay?
