Sometimes I think about the time Esmeralda met Ayisha and thought this girl must be sleeping with Jack and rather than get jealous as someone who was also sleeping with Jack, immediately launched off on Jack being a great lover.
Then, when Ayisha intimated that she had never slept with Jack, or anyone else for that matter, Esmeralda immediately changed tactics and supported her decision, encouraging her not to take that step until she knew she was ready, and assuring her that she would know on her own terms when she was in fact ready to share herself with someone on such a level.
The friendship that spawned between Esmeralda and Ayisha was really a soft and organic moment between two women who respected and admired one another and it had nothing to do with a man but rather their own merits and natures. But I still think its fucking adorable that Esmeralda’s first instinct when meeting someone who might be sleeping with the man she is sleeping with is to gossip about him.
It’s like when roleplayers have the same muse and instead of getting possessive they’re like HEY, YOU WITH THE GOOD TASTE, LET’S TALK SHOP, and I think that’s beautiful.
