The Rush of Cold [Saphy]

Christmas was, in a sense, the Chinese New Year for the westernized populations of the world. With most of her life spent living in the east, Jinny honestly didn't know what all the fuss was about. Her usual December days were either spent training, or just lazing around the temple doing absolutely nothing. To most, it might not really be considered productive, but to the young exorcist, those were the blissful days where.. honestly, she'd be willing to trade anything to get it back.

As a light drizzle of snow began gracing the ground with its presence, elegantly trailing the ends of the winds as they slowly settled upon whatever surface they landed on, the entire scene made the view of city that much cooler. The redheaded female has yet to witness a city being engulfed in snow, so on this particular day, the rare opportunity might actually present itself, though for the time being, it didn't seem as though the current weather conditions would last that long.

After only spending a few weeks here in the land of the rising sun, living in the streets and park benches and basically lowering herself to that of the status of a a hobo, just because she's too cheap to get herself a proper place to stay, despite the fact that she had funds that were more than sufficient to provide her with a few month's worth of rentals. Today marked the first day she'd actually spend a small amount of those funds. The temptation was all too much, really, for a cold winter day to be spent without a nice cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows. It did take quite awhile before Jinny was able to navigate her way towards one of the local cafes, but considering her utter cluelessness when it came to the native tongue of the locals- that being the Japanese language, alongside the defect in her vision, it was a small miracle that she ended up where she wished to be.

For a random day in the week, this place sure was packed. But then again, its still only a short bit after lunch. Some people liked hanging around coffee shops, while some others stayed for the sole purpose of seeking companionship. Lonely as she may have been, a lot of the time she tended to push her feelings aside, which was a handy trait in her line of work, but in the long run, it wouldn't really have that good of an effect on her psyche. Back to the point here, if there were any new customers coming in, they'd probably realize that the only empty seat remaining was the one right in front of where Jinny sat.

The girl rested her chin on one of her hands, which in turn rested on the table via her elbow. At first glance, one probably wouldn't be able to discern her blindness, but hey, there were some pretty perceptive people in the world, so who knows? The expression shown on her face clearly showed how she had a lot on her mind, and the neverending stirring motions she's making with her other hand only serves to further enhance those theories. By now, the heat within the beverage had completely melted the marshmallows, and the drink had taken on a lighter hue due to the creamy, sugary cubes of soft fluff, but she didn't mind. It did taste better this way, after all.
