"Hmmm..."
Crunch. Slurp.
"Jastin."
From the corner of the room, the moon caught on a skeleton hand. It shined delicately through the dark room as dull, grey eyes followed it, like a moth to a flame.
Creeeeaaak.
A full body then followed the hand, as it walked forward, sending a multitude of soft, glittering light around the room. Gold covered its entire structure, with jewels cascading down the bones. A clinking sound of metal on metal reached the recipient's ears, "Have you finished it?"
Crunch. Slurp.
A pale, feminine hand placed a half eaten apple on a silver plate. The thumb then reached up to plump lips, wiping away any excess juice from the fruit. Her tongue darted out, licking at her thumb. Her voice, bored and dismissive, answered him.
"Yes. Go gather Nu."
The woman leaned forward and the light from her laptop lit up her cheshire grin and platinum blonde hair. Her hand reached over to a side table and grabbed a beautiful, ornate box, encrusted with gold and sapphires. She then tossed it to the skeleton.
"It's an Eighteenth Century jewelry set from France, consider it payment for babysitting."
Jastin caught the box and creased his brow in annoyance. Such disrespect. He opened it carefully and gazed into it. Satisfied, he tucked it into a small satchel on his side, as wings of gold feathers spread from his back. He turned his head back to the woman, "Some would believe that A would stand for Abhorrent or Awful when being forced to deal with the likes of you."
She waved her hand to shoo him away, "And normal people would just call me an Asshole."
Jastin's skull was shaking with a chuckle as he glided off into the night.
