Jessica smiled and nodded "Yeah, that sounds exactly right" She was glad that someone understood why she would want to be surrounded by nature. Even if it was mostly because she couldn't run around the city as a Jaguar without people being worried. She was pretty sure that they'd called animal control and she'd be put to sleep or something. There were a lot of things that her parents had told her could go wrong if they were out in the open and not careful. It's why she was so sheltered and proper most of her life, she loved being able to be herself and do things her parents wouldn't approve of.

"Sure, that sounds awesome." She said gesturing for Han to follow her while she thought about things to say to him. Mostly to ask him what he was without being rude. "So what brings you to the island?" She asked curiously at the man walking beside her.

He followed Jessica as she gestured. As they walked, he tried to think of things to talk about. What kinds of things would she want to talk about anyways? Thank god, she spoke first.

"What brings me here? Well, I received an invitation letter from the school here. It just sorta showed up at our house." He replied as they walked. "Something about being 'special', unique from other people in some way." He was pretty sure this was because of his heritage.

Jessica tilted her head to the side and smiled "Well yeah..that But like whyy?" She said laughing a bit. Not meanly but in a way that meant she thought his answer that was kind of cool. She was sure that there was a reason besides witness protection.

"Yeah, it was the same only...I decided to run away and take up the offer. Moved out and opened a clothing store here. I'm pretty well off and the money I saved up from my birthday party really helped. My parents aren't all that happy...I haven't seen them since I was fifteen." She said as they left the forest and came into town. Where to start...where to start.

"Oh? Well, It's great to see you're going well with your shop, at least." He didn't want to probe into the situation with her family, he wasn't sure if that was a thing she would want to talk about too much, especially to someone she'd just met. (Even though she brought it up, but.)

He paused for a second as he attempted to conjure up a topic for conversation. "So... do you have any hobbies..?" Overused and cliche as that was, it was something.

Jess nodded in a greement its not like it was hard to keep a few stores open, they mostly took care of themselves and the employees worked well. She wasn't even sure she should be talking this deep with a could be serial killer.

"Hobbies? Normal housewife stuff...like sewing crocheting, knitting, cooking" She blushing, she was kind of a boring person considering she was still getting used to not having rules and such. She realized how strict her parents were about things.

Han had to admit; it was nice to be talking with her. Especially given that he was new to the island and he didn't know anyone here, as he was pretty nervous. She'd been really nice to him so far. , which made him relax a little more with each passing minute.
"That's pretty cool. I don't think I'm terrible at cooking, but I don't know how to crochet at all." He offered Jess a smile.

Jess smiled back as they came out the woods and started to get back to civilization. She felt a bit more comfortable about being around Han now. Mostly because there would be less of a chance of him killing her and burying her body in the forest if they weren't in the forest. Though he could've possibly been waiting for her to put her guard down so he could strike. However she was determined to give him the benefit of the doubt.

"Well, if you ever want to learn sometime, I'd be okay with that. Normally when guys say they aren't too bad at cooking it just means they can work a microwave." She snickered, she had seen guys burn food in the microwave and also leave metal in the microwave.

Han laughed a little with Jess as she did. While he would certainly like cooking tips, he wasn't that bad at cooking. He knew how to, um... work a stove at least. "Uh... I.. can work a stove. That would be nice, though."

After a few seconds of silence he spoke, trying to carry the conversation. "Well... As for mine, I like playing music."

Jessica snickered "Mac and cheese, Hot dogs, and noodles don't count" She said listing off the easy things to cook. She knew children who could cook those things, even if she was one of those children who got stuck learning how to cook. She wasn't too proud of having to teach herself how to fight and hunt...but that was the past and she was in the present. She could handle herself.

"Oh man, I love music. I could totally show you my studio some time. I mostly play guitar though" She said stuffing her hands into the pockets of her hoodie as she walked.

"I'd love to see the studio sometime, for sure." The conversation seemed to be going more smoothly now, and at this point he felt more like he was catching up with a friend than meeting a stranger for the first time. The fact that they had something in common really helped with that. He gave another smile as they walked, then continued.

"That's pretty cool! I mostly just play the saxophone, though I'm not too bad at the piano."
