She looks back at Jess and says, "I think it makes me look kind of cool, is all,” before facing forward.
Sam swallows the lump in her throat. She had told Jess only the most minute and vague details about her time with the team, excluding pretty much everything involving other realms, armies of skeletal samurai, dragons and magic in general. She hadn't even told her many of the names of the other people on the team. Things have been difficult for her as far as keeping Jessie’s curiosity at bay and hiding the true nature of her trip from not too long ago.
She checks her phone again, almost like a nervous habit, growing increasingly more worried. She stands perfectly still and runs a hand through her hair.
Jess watches her with a look of pity on her face. “You’re driving yourself crazy, Sam.”
Sam lets out a long sigh. “I know, I know, I know, it’s just that she said she’d be coming and I don’t know if---“
She stops herself mid-sentence when she hears a knock on the door. Like a rabbit rushing to its burrow, she dashes to the door and opens it up, beholding none other than Cassandra Cage, wearing a very casual outfit, almost like something one would wear to the gym, and a pair of sunglasses.
Cassie smiles. “Sam! Hey, what’s up? Can I come in?”
Sam nods and lets Cassie into the apartment. The blonde girl surprises her with a hug, a surprisingly friendly one, before stepping back and looking at her uniform. “You got all dressed up, huh?”
“Y-yeah, I, uh, didn’t know if I should or shouldn’t so I thought, hey, best to be on the safe side, right? Haha…”
Cassie cocks a brow and smiles. “Whatever floats your boat. Me, I’m business casual.”
Sam stands up. “What kind of business has that as its business casual?”
“The business of kicking ass, and business is good.”
