Jean had been on a break when she sensed something happening two floors above where she was sitting in her office: Emma was playing psych games with Scott.... and the good Doctor had had just about enough of the flaxen-haired telepath's meddlesome behavior in their marriage.
Ever since the prom, the White Queen seemed a bit more determined than usual to steal him away from her - not that she was a viable enough threat for Jean to truly feel that their relationship (hers and Scott's) was in jeopardy. Even so, the redheaded telekine still had the right to feel annoyed by Emma's inappropriate advances on her husband; and Jean was more determined than ever to put a stop to it. Permanently.
Stepping off of the elevator and out into the hallway beyond, Jean paused for a brief more before she made a beeline for the recreational room - where both Emma and Scott were enjoying their little tête-à-tête. It didn't take too long for her tall, leggy silhouette to fill the doorway; she looked upon the twosome with an expression likened disgust settling over her features. Did Emma not have an ounce of dignity or respect left in her - or was she so desperate for a man that she'd be willing to do anything, even if she had to cross a moral line to get what she wanted?
Morality had never been the White Queen's strongest suit, however. This was not news to Jean Grey.
Too proud to let either of them see her with a case sour grapes, Jean's countenance reverted into a more placid one instead. She cleared her throat to announce her arrival to the pair of them and she moved further into the room, and came to a stop just behind the sofa where they were sitting.
It was hard to mask the jealousy she felt writhing like a snake inside her belly, but she really didn't want to sink to Emma's level. That only would've encouraged the woman's asinine behavior even more.
"Good afternoon, Emma," she greeted the other woman, coolly. "It's so nice of you to be keeping my husband company," He must've really been bored if he was indulging in the little hussy's mind games. Like most of the men (and some women) in the mansion, Scott found Emma Frost attractive. And unlike everyone else, Jean failed to see what was so appealing/attractive in the silicone Barbie.
