"Obviously. I'm as sweet as they come," Malachite gave his friend a large smile and then winked. "I also look horrible with running eyeliner." He didn't always wear it but since he was out working, Malachite liked to put it on as part of a uniform of sorts, completing the look he liked to go for.
"But if you're in no rush, I'll keep you company." He was certain Jade could look after herself since she already had been for years and it wasn't like they were in a shady rundown area either. But he knew what lurked in the area and would be coming out soon with the sun inching toward the horizon. He was marked by Rafe which gave him some level of protection from other vampires and even species that didn't want trouble. Malachite hoped being with him would keep Jade safe as well.
"So, do you come here often?" Malachite asked, using a slightly skeevy voice to mock the bad pick up line. But the question was genuine. Did Jade spend her free time enjoying a bit of nature or was it linked to her old life? Street code dictated that you didn't use your real name and you didn't ask questions so he didn't know much about the Before Times. Usually only what the trigger was to land someone on the street.
