( closed ) a friendly business proposition
Who: Karin Koenig & Jasper
When: Septeril 6th
Where: Jasper’s residence.
What: Time to talk bonding, for better or for worse.
Warnings: Cutting sarcasm and exasperating overtures of friendship.
[She could have easily reached out to him using the watches, but considering what Karin meant to ask, that seemed terribly impersonal. Face-to-face seemed the best route— especially considering that she wanted him to give her proposition serious thought before dismissing it outright, and over the watches, it would have been all too easy to simply cut off communication without giving it due consideration. True, the very same could happen here, he could ask her to leave and she would, of course, respect his wishes, but she hopes that for his own sake, Jasper will give pause before defaulting to dismissal. The full moon had been easier for her this time around than it had the previous month, but it had not left her unchanged, and it was just another reminder of how short time was growing for those who had not yet sought out bonds. While she’d made one of her own, she doubts Jasper has allowed himself to do the same.
In truth, she would be surprised if he hadn’t already given this a fair amount of thought on his own, given that he had very openly been doing some research on the nature of bonds and potential bondmates, but while she had both voiced her own opinions on the situation as well as made a few good-natured jabs at his expense, they hadn’t actually discussed forming such a partnership between the pair of them. Dismissive though he was, Karin is almost certain that she’s the closest thing he has to a friend in this place, and prickly though his responses to her opinions often were, they did have common ground, similarities in where they came from— enough that from time to time, she would call him companionable, though decidedly distant for reasons she had yet to decipher.
She wouldn’t be aiming to get to the bottom of any such mysteries this afternoon, however. Instead, the offer she intends to make will be simple and forthright, but when she appears on his doorstep, it’s not empty-handed— she’s brought along a large white box tied with string and bearing the mark of one of the city’s patisseries. She gives a polite knock against the door before taking a step back to patiently await an answer.]
