Re: Aoife's Room

Aoife barely managed to wave and call back to Sachiel before he
disappeared down the hallway. “Morning Sach!” She said back,
hopefully raising her voice loud enough so he could hear her,
voice nervous and hesitant. The woman slipped into her room,
waiting a few seconds for Jasper to finish his exaggerated
stretching before she would take the spot he motioned for her to
take, cheeks alight with a blush and bottom lip nibbled on by
her teeth. She saw it; that sliver of tanned skin just above the
waistline of his pants peeking out as his shirt rose up.
Hopefully he didn’t notice her lingering eyes, which would roll
at his tease. “I’m not a kid..” She mumbled, breaking a piece of
her own omelet off with the fork before popping it into her
mouth. He was only two years older than her anyways.
The two continued to eat in a quiet peace. It wasn’t until she
was halfway done did Jasper break the comfortable silence that
formed between them. All motions halted; hand pausing with fork
poised several inches from her lips with a piece of omelet on
the prongs. What did he mean she had to be social today? She’s
been social - social for her at least. She’s talked to SueLyn,
Rashel, Kadira, and Sachiel! She’s been introduced to almost
everyone!
Aoife couldn’t help but to view his words as condescending; the
way he said it made it seem like she was some hermit, sitting in
her room and avoiding everyone. And the nonchalance of his voice
- it rubbed her the wrong way. She didn't need an intervention,
she'd get to know everyone eventually. Baby steps; it didn't
matter that hers were smaller than others, it would happen in
due time. He can't just force her to do something.
With an appetite suddenly gone Aoife put her fork on her plate
and waited until Jasper was done with his food before saying
anything, mouth dry and tongue heavy as she took his empty
plate. She stood up quickly, making her way to the door, eager
to leave the room so she would be out of the growing tension.
“You should probably change..” It was all she could offer before
leaving the room in a hurry, door propped open so he could
leave.

Jasper knew he had screwed up the second Aoife neglected to buck
back at him. Normally she met him with wit and playful banter,
but this time, he was greeted with only silence... He was in a
hole, but he still had no idea how deep. This social anxiety
thing really bothered her... When she told him that he should
change, he understood what she really meant...
"You should leave."
With a contemplative sigh, he did just that. He left behind
Aoife and closed the door, heading up to his own room, where he
could contemplate this as he showered and got dressed.
