Sonya yawned before rubbing her tired eyes. Waking up was always a trying experience. Eventually, the blond woman got out of bed, taking a brief moment to stretch before yawning again. She also cursed Johnny as he had kept following her around all night, like a little puppy starving for attention. Which wasn't all that far from the truth, really.
Thankfully though, Sonya managed to lose him at some point between when the action star was talking about his next big movie and writing a book. She gave Johnny the slip and -finally- managed to get some shut eye. Sonya walked in on Kitana and Jade bathing, and was practically guilted into bathing with them. She wasn't a lesbian or bisexual in the least, but part of the reason she didn't want to bathe with both of them was that she felt insecure. Their bodies were practically in mint condition while hers(while modest and attractive) couldn't hold a candle to theirs.
"Sonya?"
"Hmm?" Oh shit. Sonya smiled to the both of them but had no idea who just snapped her out of her absentmindedness. It was Jade.
"I had the pleasure of meeting the young man Lord Raiden has tasked us with watching over." Jade almost purred as she said it.
The blond woman raised her eyebrow questioningly before Jade continued
Sonya would be the first to admit that she may not be that girly but she was definitely still a woman. And gossip isn't something that happens all that often when you're surrounded by mostly men. It was quite the revealing story, according to Jade. She almost had a hard time believing it herself. Kitana lightly scolded Jade and urged her not to make it worse on the poor guy, but Sonya couldn't stop from giggling along with Jade.
If it had been Johnny, Sonya would've made him pay. But, as it is, the ladies don't even know the guy. Thoughts on Johnny gave Sonya an idea, though. It was kind of mean, but it would be funny to see how the guys reacted. Sonya told her plan to both women who giggled right along with her. All three of them nodded in agreement and put their plan into action!
Sonya was busy putting her plan into action, but with as bad as the guys played pranks on each other(and the women) it was time to fight back! And the women were going to hit them right where it hurt.
Smiling as she took the seat next to Johnny, who seemed surprised Sonya had done such, Sonya waited. But maybe Johnny was growing on her. Maybe, by a tiny smidgen.
The self-proclaimed martial arts guru leaned over and started flirting with Sonya, as per usual, but she didn't mind. Normally Johnny was tuned out when he got long-winded but the man didn't seem to have that much steam today. If he would just shut his trap long enough Sonya -might- consider him attractive. Might. But he didn't, and now things were just... complicated.
Jade and Kitana soon joined the rest of the group, along with Liu and almost everyone, short of Raiden and Jay. It didn't take long though, especially with Jade and Kitana both sitting to Sonya's left. The three women purposefully started the small talk, murmuring just loud enough about size(though what the size was of specifically was oddly never disclosed). Then, as if on cue, Jay walked in. To say he wasn't handsome would have been a lie. Sonya had to work not to stare when she saw him, now that she was able to get a better look without the man fleeing the room. He blinked a few times, gave all of us a general nod before moving off for the kitchen.
As soon as he was out of earshot Jade let out a long, slow breath before whispering something to Kitana. Sonya was on the lookout, and first came Johnny. She flashed him a pretty smile but could tell he was curious of what was being said between the other two females. Sonya then leaned forward, mostly pretending to be reaching for more water, and quickly snuck a peek at the other guys around the table. From the expression on each of their faces one could tell they were a bit .nervous. Perfect.
Sonya then leaned to her left and nodded as Kitana muttered something to her, before covering her mouth with a giggle. This actually reminded Sonya of high school, go figure!
Jay reappeared, the door from the kitchen opening, and then without warning from Jade, "Jay, I want you to know that you should not be ashamed to have such an appealing body. Most women and some men in Edenia would be grateful to have you as a husband."
Silence.
Someone(possibly Johnny) coughed lightly before Jay nodded stiffly, then said, "I will, uh, keep that in mind, thank you." He'd then give an awkward smile before stepping back and closing the kitchen door. His face was bright red before the door had even closed. All the other guys at the table were either suddenly really hungry, or pretending they did not just hear what was said. Even Sonya had to glance to Jade with a curious eyebrow. She returned Sonya's look with a helpless shrug that basically said 'Too much?'
Sonya gave a light shake of my head before excusing herself from the table. She decided she better do damage control, mostly since it was her fault there was now this lingering awkwardness. The Earth-realm operative stepped into the kitchen, ready to mend fences when she noticed that the man she was supposed to be apologizing to wasn't even there. Aside from an untouched bowl of oatmeal, he wasn't in the kitchen. Sonya then spent the next ten minutes hunting him down, going from room to room but each room turned up empty. A walk around outside came up empty too. Standing near the steps, Sonya started to lightly hum to herself and wonder if their guest was avoiding them all, or just the women, or even just Sonya in particular(far-fetched on her end, but she is a woman after all!).
Jay's location was revealed finally, thanks to the sun. Sonya happened to sit down on the steps, waiting for a moment before she saw movement on the grass. It took her a few seconds to realize that it was a shadow. It dawned on her that he was on the roof! Aha!
Looking up to see a single leg swinging back and forth on the ledge, Sonya nodded in triumph. After cutting through Liu Kang and Kung Lao's room and using their balcony she reached up to take a hold to the edge when she thought she heard Jay talking. Sonya didn't want to be nosy, but a few seconds worth of listening couldn't hurt either. The group had just met the guy after all, so he could possibly be dangerous! Even Lord Raiden wasn't omnipotent!
Sonya wasn't close enough, sadly, so she pulled myself up, managing to almost bring up her head to see when her feet slipped. She gave a brief, "Ah!" of surprise and dangled there before she heard someone say hide. This would have to be processed more, but later, as risking a two story drop was not on the agenda today. The dangling blond was about to shout for help when a hand unexpectedly reached down and a strong voice said, "Here, take my hand."
Sonya looked up to see Jay, offering her his hand. She hesitated, but he made no show of pulling his hand away so she finally took it. It looked like it took no effort for him to pull Sonya up, and when she questioned him on this later he said she was actually very light. Take that Edenian bimbos!
Sonya didn't question him about this right now though, instead taking a second to catch her breath. A smile was first offered before admitting the truth, about everything. She did feel bad, after all. Jay's reaction was not actually what the blond operative thought it would be. Hell, she expected him to boast, or to rub it in the other guys faces at a later point for some sort of bragging ritual, but all her blond counterpart said was, "Don't worry about it." Sonya then received a smile before the athletic male was turning back to look down over the roof.
"Are you wanting down?"
She would to admit to the fact that her mind wandered with exactly 'how' he was suggesting getting her down, but before she could think about it he dropped to one knee before hiking a thumb at his broad (Oh so deliciously broad)back, "Hop on."
