Jenny sighed and brought over the plates of food for them. Just curry from a place not too far from her house. She sat down and sighed, pushing fingers through her hair. She has no idea what she’s going to do and they’ve barely come close to anything. “Maybe I should just give up...” Not like she did it often in her life. Just right now is making her feel so overwhelmed. Like the world is crashing in over her.
Give up? Two words that Vastra refused to ever entertain. “Miss Flint, I assure you... there’s no need to give in. Not so soon.”
“It’s been days now and everything turns up as either a loose end or aimed at me. Any idea how discouraging that is?” She didn’t even feel like putting the effort to eat at this rate. Jenny just began poking it around the plate.
It was discouraging, true, but that was never enough for Vastra to take. Life was full of little discouragements, little things that made you contemplate the worst, and she’d become rather fantastic at ignoring them. “It’s not enough to put me off this case.”
“It is to put me off it... I’m only human, only so much of this I can take.” She put her head and dropped her hand to trace patterns on her thigh... Only problem she didn’t feel the patterns. She pulled back to see she was doing it to Vastra’s thigh and quickly jerked her hand back. “Many apologies.”
Well. That’d been... something. Thankfully, Vastra was able to disguise the blush that threatened - today was a day for professionalism, not... that. “You’re only human, Miss Flint. It’s perfectly fine.”
“And you’re superhuman or something along the like.” She teased and leaned back after pushing the food away. “I do know that he hated me and in one text...” Grabbed her phone and scrolled down before showing it to her.
