The night started out as it usually did with the museum's exhibits waking from their "sleep" and beginning to walk around. Octavius stretched, straightening his armor before making his way to the edge of his diaorama. He climbed up onto the ledge that overlooked the cowboy diorama next door. As he looked over the scene he realised something was different. There were new structures littering one side of the area. There was a small indian village added to the diorama and tiny indian people were emerging from their teepees and going about normal indian activities.
The roman general made his way to where Jedediah's tent was only to find it empty, the golden haired man nowhere to be seen. Octavius asked a few of the other cowboys if they had seen Jed. One finally pointed in the direction of the indian camp. Octavius made his way there, pulling up short when his friend came into view. Jed wasn't alone. The cowboy was conversing with a small indian maiden just outside one of the teepees. The two seemed mighty friendly what with the way Jed's hand was resting at the small of the woman's back. They were laughing at something that Octavius had missed prior to spotting them.
The sight of Jed and the beautiful woman made Octavius' heart clench for some reason and the words Jed spoke next nearly made him grab his chest in pain. "I'm mighty grateful y'all got put in my diorama~" Jed's voice sounded way more cheerful than Octavius thought he should've sounded. Octavius cleared his throat, the deep sound startling Jed and the indian maiden. "Am I interrupting anything?" Jed's body jerked as he was startled and looked over to see the black haired man with a scowl on his face. "Oh hey buddy! I'm glad you're here!" Octavius rolled his eyes. 'Sure you are...' he thought spitefully. "I wanted you to meet Aabharana." Jed added, gesturing to the woman which he had been conversing with.
Octavius walked over to them the rest of the way, never taking his eyes off of her. "It's nice to meet you." He said stffly. There was a moment of awkward silence before Jed coughed making Octavius and Aabharana jump. The young woman briefly excused herself from the situstion snd kissed Jed's cheek before leaving quickly. Despite the peck on the cheek Octavius struggled to fight back a smirk.
