Stop and Smell the World (Terezi/Jade)
It just so happened that Jade was still hanging around the slave hold, receiving the confirmation that sheâd been rented out by one Terezi Pyrope. Sheâd never met the teal blood before but sheâd heard nothing negative about the troll girl. Although honestly Jade never really trusted second hand accounts until sheâd made an assessment herself. The human girl perked up as she heard footsteps coming towards her room. Her head cocked to the side before recognition flashed behind her eyes.
Of course, she was being picked up today. Her suspicions were confirmed when she heard the high feminine voice outside her door. âBe right there!â Jade called back, rolling over and lifting herself up from her bed. She kicked aside a few stray pillows and blankets gathered by the door and pulled it open to reveal the teal blood. âSorry, I almost forgot you were coming to get me! The guardbots usually do the picking up.â Jade rattled off, opening the door wider to allow the troll girl inside.
âCome on in! Iâll get my things?â She said, trailing into a question with an uncertain lilt to her voice. Would they be leaving the slave hold? So far every master sheâd been rented by had done so. It stood to reason this would be no different.
The human girlâs response came quite soon after her initial call.  She stood outside for just a few more moments before the door swung open.  She grinned as Jade explained the situation, shrugging after sheâd finished.  âYeah, I know, but I only let the guardbots pick up for me when I want to be cold and impersonal.  Hardly what Iâd call a good first impression, donât you think?â
She stepped inside as the door widened, giving a nod at the uncertain statement. Â âGo ahead. Â We can head back to my hive when youâre done.â Â She seemed like the type whoâd be at least a little captivated by her hive, as well as the whole forest it resided in. Â Terezi looked forward to seeing what sort of reaction sheâd have- hopefully she wasnât afraid of heights, at least.
