<span style="font-family:Palanquin">Upon hearing Sly’s fake British accent, Jinora had to chuckle a little bit. She wondered for a moment why he did it, though. Had he been trying to make her laugh? Was she ok with someone who honestly wanted to make her laugh? It had been so long since she’d been close to anyone that it was an interesting thing to think about. Her father had tried to make her laugh every once in a while; it really hadn’t been as often as one might expect between a father and his daughter, but it had happened. Their life together had been far more serious than most families because she’d been blind and he’d been working on secrets too dangerous to share with certain people. It hadn’t left room for much humor. <br/>
<br/>
Her chuckle didn’t last long, though, because Sly mentioned not knowing why the men in suits were hunting him. <i>‘Does he really not know?’</i> she wondered. Jinora had an answer for him, but she wasn’t sure she wanted to admit to that. <i>‘Does knowing that stuff make me a part of them?’</i> She still felt bad for being a part of the organization that tried to capture him even if she had been an unwilling member. She didn’t feel he really understood her connection to them either even if they had discussed it some. <br/>
<br/>
In the end, she just ended up following along and not saying much. “That sounds like a plan.” She couldn’t actually remember ever putting in honest work so it would be interesting. Well, she’d done chores, but that seemed different in her mind. And chores had been much harder when she hadn’t been able to see. <br/>
<br/>
Walking into a pizza parlor felt weird, but Jinora didn’t have anywhere else to go and Sly seemed to know what he was doing. She let him do the talking and simply nodded when it felt appropriate to do so. <br/>
<br/>
“Of course, Sir. We’ll do what we can,” Jinora finally spoke when he told them what their ultimate task was. Then she got to work. <br/>
<br/>
Unlike what was probably expected, Jinora didn’t go to dishes right away, though. She grabbed a washcloth and started scrubbing surfaces of varying kinds. One thing that was hard to explain, but that benefited her in this situation was that Jinora could actually see which surfaces sorely needed a good cleaning; her eyes showed them to her. There was a downside to that as well, though. They would no doubt be cleaning for far longer than they likely actually needed to be. <br/>
<br/>
It was what it was, though. <br/>
<br/>
Eventually, they did finish their task and Romano was more than willing to feed them both when he saw the results.</span>
