wishful thinking | jack & odette
[ @firedragonpriestess ]
•｡ ♡ Whereas he was almost completely certain that Odette loathed his guts and saw red each and every time she saw him, Jack actually - quite the contrary - still enjoyed visiting and spending time with her, albeit infrequent; nevertheless, he came around occasionally to poke a little bit of humorous fun and ignite the fire that was always ablaze behind her golden eyes - it was one of the features about her that captivated him in the first place. From the bottom of his heart, though, he genuinely cared for her and wished to know that she was doing alright; although they split cordially, there was a sliver of him that missed what they had. Jack knew that it was better for the both of them, however, that they remain friends - or admirable rivals - whatever worked for their fairly odd relationship.
Until she explicitly told him to leave her alone and not speak to her, then he would continue to make an effort toward maintaining the bond they share - he would respect her wishes if it arrived at that point - but she had to admit that she had too much fun toying with him and vice versa.
“Hey there, stranger,” Jack called out to her upon ascending the final step to the Dragon Shrine, offering a small wave and smile whilst the other hand held a Tupperware dish containing a few sweet delicacies. If all went according to plan, then he will win the unspoken game that the two were willing - and more than eager - players in. “How are you doing? Busy day today?”
