"ARE YOU FUCKING kidding me? She has to have something warmer than this, it's so cold here.C'mon Mom, give me something to work with here."
Jude muttered to herself as she ransacked her mother's unpacked luggage in such a quick haste. If the young teen had suspected that they would've been living in Virginia longer than was expected, she would have packed warmer clothes. But the warmest thing that she had in her wardrobe was a thin jean jacket.
"She didn't take all of her clothes with her, did she?" She groaned as she mistakenly pulled out another t-shirt, "If there isn't a jacket, at least give me some new shoes."
"New shoes? What did you do this time?" Raph inquired as he poked his head inside the bedroom, wiggling an eyebrow back at her.
"Nothing."
He took a step inside and crouched down, "Oh really? Because it looks like your shoes are missing the bottom parts. You do know that defeats the whole purpose of them, right?"
"I was just - I've been needing new shoes for a while now." Jude huffed as she pulled them off to show him.
"I just didn't want to worry Mom about buying me new ones. You know how expensive they can be and I didn't think I would need them so soon. Besides, she has other things to worry about."
"Other things?" Raph shook his head.
"The only thing that your mother worries about is you, June Bug. You should have told her sooner. Don't you have another pair?"
She shrugged, "Never needed more than one pair of shoes."
The teen peered back down into the luggage, sticking her hand so deep that it reached the bottom of the case. Her fingers felt around until they landed on a chunky knitted material, grasping around the fabric and pulling it out.
"Here we go! This should do the trick," Jude hummed as she inspected the red cardigan that had been folded so neatly. It looked older but was it great condition and she had never seen her mother wear it before.
She probably didn't like it and wouldn't mind if Jude borrowed it.
"So what are you going to do about the shoes?" Raph flicked the back of her head playfully. "The jet lands in less than 15 minutes so you're gonna have to run if you want to meet her there."
