Oh!!! Hi, Jester!!!!
Yeah! Yeah that would be, yeah! I would like that a lot, wow, yeah, that would be fun! We could maybe get something to eat, too?!? Wow. Thanks for thinking of me!
Ummm I haven't really had that! So I'll try them! Oh, this is going to be so FUN
wait, seriously???
no, that won't do!
[No matter what Keyleth says in reply, there's a knock at the door of the Voxhaus not five minutes later, and a blue tiefling waiting behind it with her tail practically wagging behind her.]

[keyleth doesn't usually open the door, because it's never FOR her, but this time...]
oh! hi, Jester!
oh! hi, Jester!
Hi, Keyleth! It's Fjord.
Would you like to, ah ... How does a tour of the Ball-Eater sound? It's a ship of ours, it was returned to us on the island but was destroyed back home, so the novelty of having it back is still rather fresh. You can see it at the dock to one side of the beach, the tri-mast galleon?
If you would like to get out of the house sometime for some air, the offer is open.
Bye!

[be cool, Keyleth. Don't sound too eager or excitable.]
Oh! Hi Fjord! Wow, that's, wow. I would love that. You have a ship? That's so cool. Do you want to, um, make a date for later on this week?
Talk to you soon!!

You look so pretty!!!
[Keyleth, meanwhile, wears a mismatched selection of whatever she could find in Vax's closet.]
Oh. Well, that sounds really nice! I'm not busy at all.

It's so beautiful. You're so beautiful. It compliments your skin so nice!
[Keyleth blushes a little. she feels silly going out with Jester dressed like this, but...clearly it doesn't matter to her!]
Yes, yes, I'm ready! Lead the way!

Yes, yes, I'm ready! Lead the way!
[Jester feels her cheeks flushing violet, and she flusters a little bit.]
Oh, thank you. [She laughs, a little punch-drunk, and then loops her arm through Keyleth's to begin walking towards the part of the island she knows has what they need.]
There's a tailor shop where they can make you what you need, and I think they sell some dresses and stuff, too. It's run by robots, so it might be sort of...revealing. Or have zippers in weird places.

Okay! Yes, definitely. Um, what should I wear? For the boat?
Zippers...in weird...oh. Oh no.
I don't prefer any zippers.
[and then, in spite of herself, she begins to laugh.]
I don't prefer any zippers.
[and then, in spite of herself, she begins to laugh.]
Well, we can try to ask them for as few zippers as possible, then!
[Jester laughs, clearly unbothered by the prospect. She's sure it won't be a problem, and if it is...well, the zippers can be kept closed if they must!]
Okay, so you have to tell me all about yourself, okay? Where are you from? Do you have any siblings?
[Jester laughs, clearly unbothered by the prospect. She's sure it won't be a problem, and if it is...well, the zippers can be kept closed if they must!]
Okay, so you have to tell me all about yourself, okay? Where are you from? Do you have any siblings?
Yes, okay!! And you too. Okay. So I'm from Zephrah, which is basically, it's right at the portal between the air elemental plane and the material plane. My people's job is to guard the plane and make sure nothing bad happens. I don't have any siblings! I wish I did, I always wanted a baby sister, but my mom...um.
What about you, do you have any siblings? Or anything?

Oh!
[She knows that um. It's the same um she'd always said before she knew who her father was. The hesitation before revealing something both intensely personal and likely to garner sympathy, or worse: pity. Jester's smile is all sunshine as she jostles Keyleth's arm a little bit.]
No, no siblings. My dad left when my Mama was pregnant with me, so it was just us for a really long time.
[A pause, as Jester kicks at a big pinecone in the street with the toe of her boot.]
I did eventually find my dad, though! He left to become a crime boss so he could be, like, worthy of my mom or something? And then I guess he got distracted and it was kind of too late, but the joke is on him because I took her to stay with him while we were saving the world and I think they're definitely going to be in love again whenever I get back!

[Keyleth's face lights up when Jester mentions that she found him. She knows that is a major statistical improbability for her, all things considered, but...]
You found him?? Oh my GOSH, Jester!! I mean, the crime boss part is questionable but people do questionable things for love sometimes. That is so amazing, I can't believe you found him! I hope they fall in love. That would be SO romantic!!!
[she pauses to consider how much to tell about her mom]
My mom left when I was five. She went on a, um, a quest. It's called an Aramente and it can be really difficult; it's basically, you have to go and meet up with all of the different leaders of the different tribes of our people and venture through the portals in order to become the headmaster of your tribe. It can be really dangerous and...a lot of times they don't come back. My mom didn't. A lot of people think she's dead. But I don't. I think she's going to come home one day and be really proud of me cause I finished my Aramente, and my dad is going to be SO happy to see her too.
