Blake looked across the table, teacup in hand, a smile playing across her normally calm expression. The hot sun of mid afternoon shone down upon the island of Menagerie.
Jason sipped his tea before he spoke.
"Hi Blake."
Blake relaxed in her chair. Seagulls flew overhead as waves lapped against the docks.
"Hi."
Blake allowed herself a full smile for the first time in over a month.
Jason fidgeted with a small splinter on the table. "I'm sorry I was away for so long. A whole month is too long. I'm sorry."
Blake set down her teacup.
"Don't worry. I understand why you did what you did. And it worked. Once Salem found out you weren't with us anymore, the amount of Grimm we faced lightened considerably. I'm just glad you got my message."
Jason nodded as he drank some more of his tea, his cat ears flicking slightly in a sudden burst of wind from the sea.
"This isn't really how I thought I'd be meeting your father for the first time, but war time can be a bitch like that."
Blake actually laughed at that.
"I don't think my father will be exactly happy to see you. He has never exactly liked the royal family."
Jason nodded.
"Have you told him about me?"
Blake glanced away, a light blush rising to her cheeks.
"Not exactly."
They finished their tea and stood up. Jason hugged her and she smiles. They pulled apart after a few moments. Blake smiled a little as she glanced at the clock that hung above the entrance to the nearby tea shop.
"I've got to go get ready. I'll see you in a few hours."
With that, Blake walked off towards her house. Jason watched her go, suddenly aware of the eight of Phoenix Fire on his back. This would be interesting.
