[On this day, Pride will be hearing a few knocks on their front door, along with a somewhat familiar, if perhaps unwanted, male's voice:]
Eleanor, are you home?
[Jade's tone is still calm for the moment, if a bit cheerful as he tries to affect a cool demeanor. Not really for the benefit of the Enforcer standing guard nearby, but more for himself as he waits for a response.
He had a bad feeling about this, overall. It's been lingering in the back of his mind since he tried to contact Eleanor through the Network last night and received no response, and was only exacerbated by the fact that he couldn't get a hold of her the next day either. Last night, he could've attributed to a long, tiring day. Today, however, is a different story, especially when they've agreed prior to meet up for lunch and have been timely in terms of keeping in touch.
None of this is characteristic of the Eleanor he's come to know, and loathe as he is to think of the worst-case scenario, it's starting to feel more and more likely with each passing moment, and it's only a testament to his emotional control that none of his anxiety affects the environment or his expression as he waits for an answer to his house call.]
