Having Jade's partner work shifts at the Mostro Lounge was both a distraction and a minor comfort. They were within sight, and if he so wished, within arm's reach.

Once he noticed his partner pausing at a table for far too long, he began serving the adjacent customers, keeping an ear on the situation.

Leaning over the table was a student with a toothy grin, shooting his shot with Jade's partner. He made numerous comments about himself, dished out countless compliments, and all an all acted very ~~pathetic~~ eager.

How audacious. Jade hummed, pretending that the situation did not bother him one bit. However, the murderous aura that radiated from him was barely concealed by his strained smile. Even the customers he was serving grew silent in fear.

"How about you tell me what time you get off, and I can make it worth your while." He made a sleazy rubbing motion with his pointer, middle, and thumb. Bribing them with tips, I see. "C'mon, what do you say?"

Jade wouldn't let this go on; he trusted his partner plenty, so treating this like a test would be wholly useless.

"What a performance," He spoke over your shoulder suddenly, his sharp words directed at the student who was now flinching back.

Jade laughed quietly, innocently. "Oh my, you've turned quite pale. If you'll excuse us for a moment," He taunted before placing a hand on your side, turning you to face the other way.

"I would be happy to take this customer off your hands." Jade smiled, bowing down to hold your hand and kiss the back of it. He would make sure that the student knew what a grave mistake he had made, whom he had been flirting with. "I'm sure he'd be delighted."
