when he sits down next to her, the smooth blue of his suspenders and stockings are peaking and he supports himself with the help of the chair when he leans forward a bit. “they also complain about my worth, though.” a soft laugh slips over his lips and he pushes a few dark curls out of his face. “and why do you suppose I’m trapped? this is fun.” it’s not. obviously.
the buzz of her senses is something enticing-- it's like dipping her feet in a tub full of warm water, a sensation that's calming and comforting as she smiles easily at the male. her grip flexes instinctively around her glass as she shifts, bringing it up to hover in front of her mouth as she observes the boy over the rim.
her smile is placid, but the words make something curl in her gut, something like pity, something similar to disgust at the idea. she hums in response, chuckling as she sips at her drink. "a young, pretty face, i suppose." she murmurs softly as she pulls her drink from her mouth, eyes glancing away for a brief moment. jessica's stare returns shortly after.
she keeps her gaze on him, following him with her peripherals as he moves to sit next to her. her form doesn't shift, doesn't move-- stays still and relaxed as he leans in and speaks. one eyebrow raises, and she hums in thought. her wrist twists, twirling the drink in her cup idly as she chuckles softly. "i think doing a job like this makes you very worthy." jessica says after a moment of thought; knows the feeling of being in such a role-- the feeling of power it gives you, that so many people can be seduced, entranced with the tilt of a head, and breath on their ear. it's exhilirating. "not many people handle it, i think. you should be very proud of the job you do."
trapped is...a relative term, rather. it isn't exact, but it's close enough. positions like these are simple when it comes to words, but there's so much baggage; so many other things to consider in it. so many things that could happen-- ifs and whens occuring every passing moment. "if you have fun with it, then i guess that'd be fine wouldn't it?" her tongue swipes against her lower lip, eyes narrowing in thought. "but...let's say, you don't think it's fun, hypothetically speaking..." her voice trails off, smile sharpening just a tad. "i'd imagine they'd pay you a lot to say the same line over and over when you hear something like that."
“ mm, well you know as well as i do that i don’t need jewelry but i do favor opal so much. ” her attachment to the fire opal necklace left behind by her mother is always unspoken but it doesn’t quite match in this case. “ i didn’t think event planners also dabble in such arts. truly a master of all trades, aren’t you? ”
"of course it would." jessica offers flippantly, lips twitching up in amusement at the other's tone. she shakes her head, almost fond, and hums as she observes her for a moment. eunmi is a force to be reckoned with; charming and cheeky in a way that's almost entirely eunmi herself. it's something that jessica enjoys in brief little moments. "i'm sure many people say if you wore a garbage bag, it'd become a fashion icon." she muses dryly, fighting the urge to snort as she directs her gaze back to the other's face.
"no, you shine just as well without it." she adds on dully, bemused. there's a crooked smile on her face, and she gently tosses her hair over one shoulder; readjusting her arms as she hums in response to eunmi's question.
"i'm a woman before i'm an event planner." jessica responds mildly. "and i'm a woman who likes having taste. it'd be an absolute shame to my dignity if i couldn't do something as simple and easy as this." she's handled wedding and banquets with hosts in terrible wear that she's practically wrestled off to replace with something that suits her tastes more. every event she holds has to be at it's best-- and jessica will be damned if anyone is seen at something with her livelihood attached in something gaudy and tacky.
"isn't the phrase jack of all trades, but a master of none? that doesn't quite suit me, now does it?" her eyebrow raises in question, head lilting to the side as she curls her smile up; the faintest peek of teeth has it looking a bit more playful a bit more rogue.
her eyes carefully watch over the people around her, flickering around from face to face. it's boredom that keeps her in the moonflower, the drink in her hand and the curiosity scratching at her insides. she should have left hours ago, when she realized her target had long since left. a sharpened fingernail taps at the side of the cup, and she shifts in her seat-- folds of her pearl night blue dress moving against her fair skin. there are dancers a like, whispering couples and entangled fingers going behind closed doors.
a male worker catches her gaze, and the curiosity only builds. she has no reason for being here, just another nameless face to the masses-- when he gets close enough, she lifts her hand, reaching out to catch his gaze. her smile is small, subdued. her eyes are alight with question, and maybe its the liquor in her gut that pushes her to speak out. "you're rather babyfaced to be here." her voice is soft, lilted in amusement. her head tilts to the side, hair cascading to one side and revealing one pallid shoulder. "what's a sweet one like you doing trapped in a place like this?" there's a chuckle that follows, white teeth peeking out from the red, red, red of her smile.
she doesn't smoke typically. it leaves an awful smell on her clothes, leaves her throat feeling too clogged up-- cigarettes remind her of every vile man she's had to share a bed with. smoke on her tongue and leaving a vile taste in the back of her mouth. but sometimes, when days are rough-- when the weight on her shoulders presses a bit more into her bones, a cigarette is nice to shed off the excess stress.
she'll quit another day, she tells herself. flash on some perfume and pop in a mint, wash her clothes twice, and it'll all be gone.
her back pressed against the building, the night-life alive around her. a cigarette perched precariously between her lips as she flicks uselessly at her lighter. a brief yellow flicker of light greets her before it's gone as quick as it had came. a dying lighter-- just her luck. her eyes narrow as she sighs around the cancer stick in her mouth, tilting her head back. she counts to three in her head, before straightening up her form and looking around. she flags down the closest body near her, the corner of her mouth twitching up in a crooked smile as she tugs the cigarette from her lips and holds it between two dainty fingers.
"would you have a light?" jessica nods to the unlit cigarette between her fingers. "my lighter ran out."
there's a discomforting throb on her side-- a pain that's continuous. an injury unexpected from a kill earlier that day, one that jessica isn't at all happy with. the task had been completed, but not without a nasty fall on her side that's causing her nothing but irritation as the day had continued on. tucked into one of the private rooms in the casino, a peach tinted cocktail in one hand as she awaits her guest. she sips at the concoction idly, brows furrowed and pinched in pain as the stinging feeling around her ribcage continues more and more. she hopes it's just some bruising-- at most a fracture. she can't afford to being running around with a broken rib-- and the humiliation that would give her? jessica doesn't even want to think about it.
straightening up her form as the door to the room opens, she smiles easily, pained expression wiped and forced off of her face. the medic that greets her makes her body relax a bit-- sighing softly as she swirls her drink in her hand.
"dear persephone," the call of the medic's chosen name has her smiling. "i know it's...a little short notice, but." she grimaces as she moves, pushing off the couch she had been sitting on leisurely. her free hand lifts briefly to hover over her side, then drops as she thinks against it. she bows her head towards the other girl. "...if you don't mind, i would like your assistance." she's so prideful that it hurts to say it out loud, but it's easier to ask hani, a fellow member of corvus, then anyone else-- so she'll toss away the pride to ensure she'll be at top peak as quickly as possible.
it's one of the more materialistic attributes she has. she likes nice jewelry, clothing that's so soft against your skin it lulls you into sleep. she likes pretty faces with nice complexions and even sweeter smiles. she likes things with gemstones and accents that are fit for queens and kings. she didn't grow up with these sort of things, but oh, how she loves them, and god does she have an eye for the aesthetic.
even now, trailing her eyes down the girl's body in thought, head tilting to the side as she hums idly. she studies the fabric over the fair skinned girl carefully, teeth worrying her lower lip. the lavender looks lovely against eunmi's complexion, pretty enough that it makes jessica relax a bit. sharp fingernails tap a rhythm on her arm, digging into her skin when she gets caught up in a thought.
"it fits you, as usual." her voice is soft, quiet. her expression doesn't change from the studious one that still takes home on her features. "though it's...missing something. what sort of jewelry were you thinking of matching it with?" a pause. her eyes narrow as she clicks her tongue. "if you highlight your cheeks with something more translucent, it'll bring out the color nicely."
