A Bond Reunited

Tyree, noticing Jade, offered a gentle smile and stood up, stretching with a yawn. "Been a little bit, good to see you taking care of yourself," he said, his gaze briefly pausing on her appearance. "I like what you did with your hair."

 

Jade instinctively reached for the tips of her hair, now accented with stark white ends, and responded, "Yes, I wish I could have had a choice in the color, but alas, one must deal with the cards they're dealt, I suppose."

 

Tyree chuckled lightly, "I'm not really sure what that's about, but I'm glad to see you went through the initiation and all of that."

 

"Yes, it would have been nice if someone had warned me about being stabbed like that, but I suppose I'll forgive you since you didn't have a choice not to tell," Jade replied, attempting a playful laugh.'
