WHO: Jen, her dog Zwei, and onlookers
WHERE: Around the town, in the parks
WHEN: After returning to the real world, before the October event
WHAT: Just a girl jogging with her dog (pretty simple! tag in however, or lmk and I'll write you a custom starter)
WARNINGS: Corgis have been shown to be difficult to resist, proceed with cuteness. I mean caution.
[ things have finally calmed down enough that Jen resumed her typical daily fitness routines. that included the morning and afternoon jogs in the park with her dog Zwei hot on her heels. during both trips she'll be dressed for the gym and carrying a small bag for her water bottle, towel, and so on. sometimes she'll have some bruises on her arm and legs and then in the same day they'll be gone. weird!
of course when she's not on her way to or from somewhere, she'll store her items on her motorcycle and just have a leisurely run through the nearest park, throwing a stick or a ball for her corgi companion to fetch. it may just land close to someone, or Zwei has chosen to investigate someone entirely new who was looking his way - or not. he has a mind of his own after all, which leaves Jen chasing after him to go over and say hi and apologize to whoever it was he was apparently bothering. ]

So... what you said earlier. About me working around the shop? Do you mean that? Because I don't want it to make things weird. Er. Weirder.

[Seriously...]
You won't slow me down.

[ she put up a finger and wagged it. ] But! No matter how you look at it, I'd still be sleeping with my boss. What would my girlfriend think?
[ straight face, Jen. "straight" face. ]
no subject
[She looks around real quick...then leans in to drop a kiss on Jen's cheek,]
Pleased as punch.
no subject
of course. no one is around to see it, or if they are in line of sight, they aren't piping up. it doesn't stop there from being a tinge of color rising to Jen's cheeks. ] See, now I feel like something of a hypocrite for turning Vera's offer down. Though I don't even know what she'd have me do except stock warehouses, and you're definitely a more merciful employer.
[ a beat. ] Right?
no subject
I'm a much, much more merciful employer than her.
[Patting Jen's shoulders, hugging her closer...just for a moment.]
Vera's probably going to pay you better, but I'm not going to work you too hard. And you'll maybe pick up on a useful trade skill or two.
no subject
[ that's a joke. mostly. it's something that has weighed on Jen's mind of late in addition to. well. everything else that's happened. balancing school, training, practice, and Retrospec's bullshit, in addition the relationship stuff, are all things she never thought she would need to plan around. ]
no subject
[Shrugging, she shakes her head somewhat helplessly.]
But that's a practical way to look at things too, babe. always have a backup.
no subject
[ Jen they. kind of are. but that's neither here nor there right now since it will be at least another week before her coach finally tells her she cannot compete with the robot arm. ] The offer's good. Really good. But... is it alright if I sleep on it?
no subject
[She ribs Jen lightly.]
You are sleeping with the boss, hiring manager, and payroll too, you know. We'll give you all the time you need.
no subject
[ that joke is going to bite her in the ass in hindsight. probably. ]
no subject
[It's definitely going to leave her exhausted and panting at some point!]
no subject
[ she literally asked for it. Kara cannot be blamed in full. ] I need to sit down with Lina to try and figure out how we'll budget things. Because I won't go asking for any more than we need to get by right now, and there's my schedule with school to keep in mind.
no subject
[She tugs Jen into another quick hug before breaking off.]
We'll work it all out if you accept my offer. I'm happy to help. And for the help.
