“You’re as quiet as a mouse. What happened to yer constant blabbering, huh?” Jude can't help but notice how his assistant, who usually can't seem to stop talking, is suddenly acting unusually quiet.

He taps his fingers impatiently at his desk. He’s noticed your personality has only changed since he’s been spending more time with Crown, specifically the record keeper. Kate, the newest temporary member of Crown, occasionally visits him at work, dropping things off and having brief chats with him, but that’s about all that happens.

Jude sighs, “Well? Ain’t ya gonna yap out a response from that mouth of yours?” he says in a frustrated tone, hoping to provoke a reaction.
