Slade watched with a keen eye as Jinny treasured the necklace. It pleased him to know that he’d made a good choice all that time ago. “Not a mess up. Or at least not a critical one. You told only the truth when she asked, even if it wasn’t the truth to her question.” He would say after a moment of his own. “They know your mother was trained, but not the truth of what happened to her yet. Plenty of room for you to use it as a distraction.” He’d explain.

Slade would quietly follow along after Jinny on the way to her dorm. It was a quieter trip than earlier, in the fact that less people were gawking. Wither it was the novelty had worn off or that people were simply more professional down here was anyone’s guess.

Never the less Slade was memorizing the route as they walked, Jinny was in a rare circumstance of knowing more than he did in this instance as he had yet to see below ground. He was suitably impressed by most everything. The coloring scheme was likely always going to be a point of contention however.

Jinny would enter her dorm room and the first thing that she would be able to note is that it looked like her roommate had already made themselves at home. There were little nick-nacks scattered about the living room already. A bright purple throw pillow on the couch, that wasn't a standard issue. A massive intricate dream catcher was hung up on the wall. And an Incense burner sitting on the table, an incense already burning in it as well giving the place an earthy aroma.

As they looked around, the sound of a shower in one of the rooms could be faintly heard. Informing the both of them that the other tenant was already in as well.

Slade would let out a contemplative hum, before turning to Jinny. “I’ll go your luggage and have it sent down.” Slade would say aloud eyes and ears cast to the occupied bedroom. “We can workout when your training will take place once we’ve gotten our schedules. Which should be finalized by the morning.” He would explain just in time for them to hear the shower shut off.

With one last nod, and a gentle pat on the shoulder, Slade quietly slipped away. A teacher might care to know where one’s student lived, but not one of Slade’s reputations. That would be something that needed to be worked on, finding time for them to have outside of training.

That left Jinny alone in her new dorm. Not entirely alone, but still.

Poking around she would find more personal things tucked away in the cabinets, plates with kittens on them, a large box of protein bars, and an exquisite set of cooking knives that were both well used and well maintained. 

Over in the living room area there was a handful of movies, mostly slasher vids, with a few cheesy action movies as well. There was a beat to all hell game station, an older model that seemed held together with duct tape and spite. With a small collection of games, JRPGs mainly.

It was while Jinny was looking at the games, she would hear a voice from behind her, one she recognized.

“Fuck” 

Turning around Jinny would once again be treated to a young lithe girl. One with gray skin and bright pink hair. She was wearing much less formal clothes now, a tank top and a long pair of shorts, both a faded purple.

She currently had her face in her hand, obviously having already recognized Jinny. “I can’t tell if this is a good thing or a bad thing.” Jinx muttered to herself. Before lifting her head out of her hand to meet Jinny’s eyes.

“Guess this means we are roommates then?”
