He nodded a little, climbing off the bike. "Thanks, Jade."

“You’re welcome.” she said, lifting her visor to smile at him. “And thank you for… everything today.”

He smiled back at her. "Yeah, of course."

“I had a really good time.” she said, blushing softly.

He leaned over to kiss her cheek. "Me too."

Her blush darkened at the kiss, smiling before returning the gesture.

He smiled at her.

She smiled softly back. “I should probably get going.” she admitted reluctantly. “Sophie might be getting worried about me by now. See you later?”

He nodded a little. "Yeah. See you."

“Ok.” she smiled eagerly. “I’d tell you to stay out of trouble… but I know you too well.” she winked, playfully teasing him.

He laughed. "Mm, you do."

She chuckles. “In that case, I’ll just say; take care of yourself.”

”See ya around, Killian.” Sparky chimed in.

"Bye guys." he waved, heading towards his house.

“Bye.” they both replied, though Jade’s voice was a little softer. They waited for a moment until he was at the door before driving off.

Killian went inside, smiling a little bit.

Jade smiled softly as she drove home.

”Are we going to do a night patrol since you were busy all day?” Sparky asked.

“Yeah. Probably a quick one but we'll see what comes up.”

Killian sighed faintly as he put on his pajamas. He wasn't going to bed, but his pjs were more comfortable, so he figured why not?

(mood)

Jade sighed a little as she pulled up to the apartment building. While she was worried about her roommate, considering what happened earlier, she was not entirely enthusiastic about what Sophie would say about her being gone all day. At least it was nothing she would have to lie about but she knew the teasing was going to be just about unbearable.

Killian plopped down and turned on the TV. He figured he could just watch a show, then head to bed or something.

“There you are! I sent you a few texts and I tried to call you once.” Sophie said from the couch as soon as Jade walked in. “Did you have a good time?” she asked, wiggling her eyebrows.

“Mind out of the gutter, Soph.” she scolded, rolling her eyes. “I met his cousin and his husband. That's all. But I did, actually, have a very good time. They invited us to stay for dinner then we all went to an arcade.”

Killian stretched, closing his eyes for a moment as his mind wandered back to the map Alex had showed them earlier. He didn't know how they could narrow down the areas. Sure, he could use his magic somehow, but…no one would trust information from Hex, and if he did it as Killian, everyone would question where he'd gotten the information.

“An arcade? Sounds retro… but I'm glad you enjoyed yourself.” Sophie smiled. “Win anything?”

Jade smiled softly and shook her head. “We got plenty of tickets but we didn't exchange them for anything this time. But we might go back some other time.” she shrugged, sitting on the couch next to her. “You feeling any better?”

Killian rubbed his face with his hands, letting out a slow, shaky breath. "I'm sorry, mom." he mumbled.

Sophie nodded. “Much better. Ankle is still a little sore but I can walk on it.” she told her roommate, glancing at the gauze wrapped around her foot.

“Good to hear but you probably shouldn't walk on it too much. Not yet, at least.” Jade pointed out with a soft sigh.

He shook his head a little, biting his lip for a moment.
