Jenna and Mia: Kindred

Jenna and Garet are sitting in the common area, talking to each other when Mia enters the room. She searches for a place to sit and gulps when she realizes that the only place where there is room for her is next to Jenna. It's not that Mia doesn't like Jenna or anything. It's just…watching Jenna singlehandedly take down three Turtle Dragons with barely a scratch was more than a surprise. Mia concludes that Jenna is just as deadly with a rapier as Garet is with an axe, resulting into one very intimidating female Fire Adept.

Mia wants to punch herself. It's foolish to be so intimidated by someone when she doesn't even know her. Mia takes a deep breath and plops into the seat right next to the Fire Adept. Jenna is too caught up in her conversation with Garet to notice Mia's presence. Mia can't help but feel a little left out.

A moment later, Isaac comes crashing into the room. "Garet!"

"Huh? Wha—"

"What the hell did you do to my book?"

Garet's face turns pale. "That book…was yours? But it's a romance—"

"Who cares what it is? Where the hell did you put it?"

"I, uh…threw it out."

The room felt pregnant from the following silence. Garet is the first to snap out of it. He proceeds to run away.

Isaac pursues him. "Damn it, Garet, I was on the last chapter!" Within seconds, they're gone.

The two females are the only ones left to try to make sense of what just happened.

Jenna is the one who speaks first. "Isaac and Garet are…"

"…huge dorks," Mia finishes.

The Fire Adept turns to look at the Water Adept next to her. She smiles. Mia returns it.

The blue-haired cleric decides that Jenna has a very pleasant smile. It wouldn't hurt to put in some effort to see that same smile more often.
