She gives a subtle nod to Reynard, trying to stay in the defensive guard position to be prepared for whatever is going on. It feels like whatever is going on around them isn't good, but she did see Asher get out an iron bar compared to a notebook. There is a calm before these monsters come out of hiding from the bushes. [color=B7A74A][i]' Ugh, I hope it isn't those pink fuzzballs with poke-a-dots. They are painfully annoying.' [/i][/color] Jessica thought with a frustrated look on her face. Her mother talked about those monsters much to her, and she had a particular bit of mixed feelings about them. Tearsy couldn't help but interrupt Jessica's train of thought or, in reality, what she's feeling right at this moment. Jessica's mixed feelings are usually the most delicate to deal with at a certain point. If anything, Tearsy would like Jessica to be more lady-like than she is, but you can't be picky as a sword goes. It's great to be near Jessica as much as she is, nonetheless. [color=FFB6C1][i]" Jessica, you can tell little ole me what's frustrating you so much. I would believe you should believe in yourself and show who you indeed are instead of hiding it behind that demeanor of yours. You should stop having mixed feelings about certain things, dear." [/i][/color] Tearsy thought projected into Jessica's head with a bit of a teasing tone too. The sword sheath shifts between dimmer and brighter glowing of its aura. Jessica hears the thought projection words of Tearsy, and they felt a bit too embarrassing for her to believe. It did make her think about what the sword is trying to do her in her subconscious, but all she does is let out a small sigh after trying to get a proper response to Tearsy. [color=B7A74A][i]' Tearsy, what are you trying to do? We are in a middle of an intense situation right now. Can you please stop embarrassing me in the most critical points, but you can't. You can probably guess why I have mixed feelings about those pink fuzzballs with poke-a-dots now.' [/i][/color] Jessica thought to answer Tearsy's teasing of her again. She tries to get back on the task at hand by looking at Carver, who talked about it being unnerving and looking around. He took a bit of time and said something about not in any real danger. The near the end of what he said, a rock hit him. Tearsy couldn't help but be lost for words since she saw the inner thoughts of Jessica specifically about these pink fuzzballs with poke-a-dots. It was a bit cute and all, and there might be hope that Jessica will chill out one of these days and relax for once. The sweet Jessica has her problems, yes, but that's why Tearsy loves her so much. She couldn't help but giggle slightly only to Jessica about what she thinks of these goblins, but she will defend her clients against these creatures when she's on the job. It is part of the job description of being a bodyguard, and all she did was wait to be released by Jessica's need to defend Carver. Jessica hears Tearsy's giggle but had a look of slight worry about the rock that hit Carver, but the historian only fell flat on his butt as he stares at it. She looks in the direction of the commotion of the bushes. Jessica hears that the squeaks and chirps were much louder, and the bushes were being shaken and rattled. Her eyes narrowed when Jessica noticed the Goblin that came out of the bushes, but they traveled in packs. She watches the Goblin as it was chattering, squeaking, and motioning with its weapon toward Carver's feet. It caused her to sigh a bit annoyingly at sight, but thankfully, the noises around them calmed down. [color=B7A74A]” Seriously? Goblins, a pack of them, [i]just great[/i].”[/color] Jessica said with a tone of disdain in her voice. It had disbelief, feelings of annoyance, and wanting to get rid of these goblins with the tiniest hint that they are cute. She had an enormous amount of mixed feelings about these monsters compared to others in Fiore. There were many things that Jessica was thinking about, but the one thing that would be primarily on her mind was Carver's health. She was taught the one you are a bodyguard is vital to keep safe no matter what, no matter the monster or other in your way. It makes her put her hand onto Tearsy's handle and get in a slightly more offensive style than her defensive one. She had no idea why the goblins were chittering, squeaking at them since they need to get to the ruin. It doesn't help her know how to communicate with them, but how she deals with a problem is to get rid of it. [color=B7A74A]" What do you guys think? Reynard and Asher." [/color] Jessica said to Reynard and Asher. It was primarily because of what she wants to do keeping Carver safe rather than dealing with the demands of these Goblins. Jessica didn't want to wait for a plan and acceptance of her wishing to defeat these Goblins quickly but under like three seconds of waiting for a response from those two. She starts to pull out the Sky Tears Sword of its sheath, and when Jessica pulled it out entirely. The sword's light greenish glow starts to spread from Jessica's left hand to her whole body in a beautiful glow surrounding her. [color=B7A74A][i]' I enjoy this part of Tearsy. One of the reasons why I like showing off with her!' [/i][/color] Jessica thought with herself. She had a smile on her face while having a similar disdain look on her face as what she said previously.
