The one who rang the door bell waited patiently for it to be opened, his hands stuffed in the pockets of his red hoodie. It was a young, 18 year old man with raven black hair and blue eyes. Jake.

Mink opens the door right away. "You're here." She holds the door to the side allowing the young man to come in.

"Yeah, sorry I'm late." Jake said with a wry grin as he stepped in side, waving at his mentor after seeing him on the couch. "Mornin' Zeke."
"Good morning Jacob." Zeke returned the greeting. "We have some left over pancakes if you would like some."
"Pancakes?" Jake repeated, turning to look at Mink. "You already ate? I thought I was supposed to take you put to eat."

"Don't worry our outing is still gonna happen. Zeke just was being nice, and I didn't spoil my appetite." The girl grabs his wrist and pulls him over to the living room. "I have something to show you."

Jake softly chuckled as Mink tugged him by the wrist, following her not the living room. It kind of reminded him back to to when she was still a lamia, leading him by the wrist through the streets of the underground city with her hand, or sometimes even her tail.
"Some things never change, do they?" he mused.

Before she dragged him cause she was ordered to keep him on a short leash. After a while she did it as comfort for either him or herself. And now, now she liked holding the hand of her closest friend. They have even talked about becoming a couple; boyfriend and girlfriend. She brings him to her little corner at the coffee table. She let's go of his hand and holds up a bracelet she had almost finished. Styled in Jake's favorite colors. "What do you think?"

Jake eyed the bracelet, consisting of orange, red, and yellow beads. He knew that Mink had taken up crafting, but had no idea that she was working on this particular thing. And based on the colors, it looked like she had him in mind.
"It looks great!" he commented with a smile. "Is it for me?"

The girl slips the sting around his wrist till she got his wrist size. She then ties the ends together. "You be right. Do you like it?"

Jake brought his wrist up to his face so he could admire the bracelet more closely, then gave a nod. "Of course I do. Thank you."
He wrapped his arms around the girl, giving her a hug. Whenever he did so, it brought him back to that night where they first became friends. Where she apologized for acting so rude and emotionless to him, and promised to protect and be there for him. And he promised the same for her.
He pulled out of the hug slightly after a couple of seconds once a realization hit him. "But I didn't get you anything..."

"That doesn't bother me. It's a gift. You shouldn't ask for something back when you give a gift. Do we still have time before we have to go?"

"Well, I'll have to think of something to give you anyway." Jake commented as he took Mi k's hand this time and started walking her to the door. "And of course we still have time. Later, Zeke!"
"Have fun, you two!" Zeke called after the boy and girl. "Try not to be gone too long. You both should start making preparations for our trip."

"Of course, Uncle Zeke," Mink says as they head for the door. Since Mink didn't have family as her parents have passed and she was an only child; Zeke told her she could call him like a family member. He dose treat her like a daughter but Mink was not sure yet if she was there yet to call him a father. Mink grabs her coat and was almost able to go out the door without shoes.

"Woah, wait a minute!" Jake stopped her, seeing what she was about to do. Be pointed down at her shoes which were on the floor, near the door. "Forgetting something?"

"Oops. Still like feeling the ground with feet, almost don't ever wanna put them on." Mink grabs her socks and slips them on as well as her sky blue shoes. Zeke and Jake have taught her how to ties shoelaces and has gotten it down on her own. "Anything else I need to get?" she asked slightly messing with him.

"Just get your jacket and you should be fine." Jake answered. "It's pretty chilly out today."
