“Oops!” | Billy to Jane

{ Random Oopsies }

There were few secrets between Jane and her shadow, save what she looked like when her clothes were on the floor. Perched in the rafters, he faced the door as she changed – while Jane herself moved about the room and readied herself for the day. There must have been a misunderstanding at the inn’s reception area, as Jane distinctly heard the door unlock moments before she found herself standing bare before the gaze of a complete stranger. 

No sooner had she turned around did she see the black shade of her guardian drop from above, doubtless intent on gutting the poor man for what he laid witness to. Alarmed as she was, Jane was hardly about to let there be bloodshed over a mere misunderstanding. 

“Wait, Diego! Address him, if you please. I will be outside in a moment.” Her guardian had intended to be more efficient – he had a gun pointed at the head of the intruder, but was steady on her command and motioned with it. Shooing the man back and indicating they grant the woman her due privacy. 

Closing the door behind him, Diego stated flatly, “Run or try anything, and I will be painting the walls with your brains. You will wait for her ladyship’s judgement.”
