Charcoal-black hair and blue eyes, a woman in a yellow sundress sat at the bench; she watched the people going by till her gaze went to the man approaching.
He sat beside her, trench coat and a tie, "Lovely morning," he spoke. Tall and tan, with short brown hair and two silver eyes.
"I'm glad you work with such haste Jack. Morning to you too; I assume you got my letter," Jotou's voice was the same despite her disguise.
Jack smiled, "I tend to take my business seriously. I personally collected it after you sent it in last evening. Much of my letters get to me immediately.
Although, I expected news of the whale from yesterday and the thunder that echoed through the city. Your topic did catch me by surprise."
"Is that so?"
Jack turned to look at her inquisitively, "My, my Ms Howllett, you seem cheery and confident this morning. Might I say, it's quite the look on you. If only I could see that golden glow right now," he chuckled.
A soft giggle escaped her lips, "Let's just say I have some motivation and some plans. Enough with the flirting, shall we?"
"Who ever said I was flirting?" he said with a smile. Jack sat up straight, "But business is business and I offered help."
"What can you tell me?" Jotou's brows knitted.
