The gentle shapes of the mountains rested beside the sky, but Jade only had eyes for her tower, the white cylinder standing out from the blizzard's grey foam. It was where she was set to meet her enigmatic PesterOmni pal, after all, the very first person to help her to gain any sense of stability in the Omniverse, even if he was an eldritch creature at the time— who wouldn't be excited about that?
Brennon. Brennon wouldn't. Though she could hardly blame him, the dwarf being her prisoner and all (that would probably be kind of awkward to explain to her friends... yikes!), his constant scowling really, really got her goat. It was preeetty tough to stay positive about the whole thing with one travelling companion being grumpy all the time, but at least Rebecca seemed to be in good spirits!
Speaking of the Little Sister... Jade dropped back from where she had been walking beside Brennon, still keeping one eye on him in case he decided to tear off again. A few paces behind, Rebecca was stomping in the snow with great purpose, obviously delighting in the crunching sounds the frozen ground made. Bec trotted alongside the younger girl, his tail waving contentedly back and forth, ears pricked up and alert.
Without Jade even having to say a word, Rebecca glanced up at her, smiling.
"Daddy's on his way!" She declared, one foot landing on a rigid patch of clumped frost. Crnnch crnch.
Jade's eyebrows shot up to her hairline, slowly lowering as her brow furrowed in confusion. "Really? And how do you know that?"
Rebecca shrugged, her black hair springing up a bit when she did. Her misty yellow eyes focused on the tower, smile unchanged. "I just know!"
"Fair enough! He just might be there, too," conceded Jade, also giving the tower a thoughtful look.
Her eyes narrowed when she noticed several indistinct shapes moving around its base, busy as a bunch of pollinating bees and almost seven of them in total. Definitely not who she was expecting, then, and where was all that... ash coming from? Because it was definitely ash, she just knew it; the clouds puffing into the air were all greyish-black and a crazy mixture of vapor and dust, broken only by the icy tundra winds.
"Who are those guys?" Jade mumbled aloud, fixing her glasses so she could squint a little harder at the fuzzy people walking around on her lawn. They were pretty short, she supposed— maybe they were dwarves! But, that didn't necessarily mean they would be friendly... A closer look was definitely needed!
Shouldering her blue blaster gun, Jade set off with purposeful strides toward the nearest maybe-possibly-dwarf. The dwarf in her company shot her a wary look, following behind at a slower, yet dogged pace while Bec herded Rebecca into what he no doubt considered a safer position at his flank opposite from the impending confrontation.
Smiling determinedly, Jade nodded to herself. Good dog.
