[i]'Oh man, I wonder if she'll approve of it. Should I go back? Ahh, I don't think this was a good choice!'[/i] Jasper fumbled nervously with one of the bows attached to her dress, constantly rolling it between her thumb and index finger. Though her pick felt like a good choice at first, as she walked down the hall to show the mermaid, she was being flooded with doubt. She wasn't sure if she could handle another rejection or more poky comments about appearance. The comment Martini put out earlier about her looking like a ghost, was enough to plummet her little self-esteem. [i]'Yes I think I should go ba-'[/i] Just as she was about to turn right around to search for a different dress, Inadi was at her side decked out in his own suit.

[i]'Egh. It would be rude of me to go back if he hurried to catch up to me right?'[/i] Swiveling her head to face him, she forced a quick smile even though she was having a meltdown inside. Her heart was palpitating with every step they took, nearing the exit to where Martini was patiently awaiting them for critique.

[b]“Don't worry Jasper. If Martini can't see how beautiful you look in that dress then maybe she isn't as good a fashionista as she says she is.”[/b]

Jasper stuttered her steps a bit, but pulled herself together with a tense swallow. [i]'Did he just say I was [b]beautiful?[/b]'[/i] A mixture of panic and happiness flared up inside her, causing her heart to flutter even faster than before, but this time it wasn't from fear; it was because of joy. This compliment felt more natural and sincere than the first one(exotic), which was a bit more thought out and unsure. She wasn't aware of why it felt so good to be praised by him, but now she wanted him to feel the same contentment too.

"Y-you l-look beautifu- ah, I mean handsome in t-that suit." Wanting to die in a box right there and then, she wasn't too proud of how she executed that. Her voice had cracked up more than once and her hands even went clammy with just that single sentence. But she really meant what she said. The pinstriped suit looked clean-cut and aristocratic on Inadi. Not to mention she couldn't bare to even look at him for more than a few seconds at a time because she was afraid of getting a

While she continued to drown in fret about her failed attempt at complimenting, feeling a hand suddenly land on her shoulder startled her immensely and she swiftly side-stepped away from him.

[b]“Maybe we should wait for Leila to join us too. I don't think it would be right of us to just go on ahead and have her stand up on the chopping block by herself, ya' know?”[/b]

"Ah, sorry" She apologized for her reaction and continued to say, "Mkay. Let's wait. Oh, and we should wait for Brandy and Songbird too." Remembering the guides, she wanted to surpass the invisible barrier between the guides and the humans. "Then we can all go as a group."
