Setting

Mearcstapa's Apartment

Log

"Shoes off at the door." Since the last time Jack was here, things seem to have gone back to their usual levels of tidy and austere, like the home's barely lived in at all. Mearc unties his boots and toes them off, then looks at the other two. "Dinner, first, or just...cuddles?"

"'M not really hungry." Jack's mien has mostly returned to the lazy sketches that follow his movements, but it's a touch smudged still, and his voice is quiet. He's toed out of his loosely laced docs and just kinda stands there, an arm around whichever partner is closest.

Lux nudges their shoes off as well, then turns into Jack, wrapping both arms around him to squeeze and kiss along his shoulder slowly. "Cuddles, then?"

"Mmmm. Yeah I'm down." He reaches a hand out to Mearc, making grabby hands at him to join the snuggles right here.

"Jack, have you had a solid meal today? If not, I'm gonna bug you to eat something, I'm afraid." Even as he says this, he steps into the hug.

Lux lets Mearc be the responsible one, though does make a soft sound of agreement, even as they press kisses along Jack's neck.

Jack whines quietly. "You're always so fuckin' responsible..." Which, in and of itself, probably says about how much Jack's had to eat today.

"I can bring a bag of trail mix into the bedroom. Lux'll probably pick out all the M&Ms, but seeing you eat some of it would satisfy me, even if you don't do a real food." Mearc leans in, brushing his lips against Jack's forehead. "It'll help ground you, to have something in your body."

"Sounds like a good compromise to me. Jack?"

"Fine," he mutters, but he can't keep a small smile off his face. "It's...really really good to see you two like this." He looks between the two of them. "I'm glad...things are working out."

Mearc disentangles from the hug to go grab trail mix, gesturing for the pair of them to head to the bedroom.

Of course, when they get there, there's a bit of a change; all the furniture has been rearranged somewhat, so that the lefthand wall, which has no windows or closets in it, has nothing up against it.

Lux smiles towards Mearc. "I'm glad too... I missed this." Lux draws Jack into the bedroom. "Clothes on, off, partially off?"

It clearly throws Jack off a little, and he blinks a few times. "Mearc, you redecorating?" He calls back to him, before taking the few steps to flop onto the bed, still fully clothed. "Less clothes's better...." His voice is muffled by the pillow he's smushed it into.

Mearc chuckles, as he comes out of the kitchen with a gallon baggie full of trail mix--it's a home mix, with chocolate chips and goldfish crackers and chocolate covered pretzel pieces and dried mango and cranberry bits as well as a lot of the 'usual' nuts and raisins and such. "There's something I'm going to put on that wall, eventually. Also, if either of you want to borrow pajama pants, let me know."

Lux chuckles, pausing to unzip their jeans and kick off--leaving socks, boxer briefs, and a t-shirt on. They crawl into bed beside Jack, curling around him, fingers starting to pet his hair. "I'm good like this, thanks."

Another quiet groan from Jack, before he laboriously turns over and starts to struggle out of his jeans. "PJs'd be nice. I'm a little cold."

Mearc opens a drawer, revealing a good collection of pajama pants, all folded KonMari style and arranged by color. After a moment of thought, he picks out a pair for Jack with red chili peppers on a black background. "Here, these will be cute on you."

Lux, oh so helpfully, tugs the jeans to help pull them off and toss aside, flashing a grin when they see the PJs. "Good choice."

"Dunno if Lux's gonna let me out of bed to get them on..." He holds a hand out for Mearc to toss them.

Mearc does a toss, before emptying the pockets of his cargo pants onto the nightstand and changing them out for a pair of pajama pants with polar bears doing cute things like sledding and snowball fighting all over them, and shutting the drawer, and then shedding the shirt as well. Only then does he flop onto the bed.

With pants on, Jack sits up just enough to tug his shirt off too, and then pulls Mearc over and half on top of him. People-shaped weighted blankets are the best.

Lux, AGAIN oh so helpfully, grabs the pants and helps Jack slip them on. Totally not so they can cop a feel in the process. (Though just of his thighs, PG-13 up in here.) Then they curl around Jack again, kissing his shoulder. "Do you want to talk about what happened?"

Mearc totally just...flops across Jack, applying pressure, though one hand brushes against Lux, casually.

"Mmmm....I mean we kinda covered it all. Thought I wanted something, and then I changed my mind, an' then realized I had to like....tell him that I changed my mind. Which's mostly why I freaked the fuck out. He really didn't do much."

"Okay." Lux nods, seeming content to let the issue go. "How did your days go, then?"

He shrugs. "Nothing special, I...saw Gallowglass again. Had lunch with him and -" Jack indicates Mearc by giving him a soft kiss on the cheek and bringing a hand up to pet his hair. "the other day." Something he's remembering, maybe the day in particular, makes a scribble of a blush drift across his cheeks. "We're...mostly okay, I think."

"My day was alright. Memento Motherfucking Mori took it upon herself to order me groceries, because I was down and that's what she does." As Jack goes scribbly, Mearc reddens somewhat.

Lux glances between Mearc and Jack, a brow arching. "Ah... That's good. I'm glad you two worked things out. We, uh... also worked things out, me and him. He seems like a nice guy, underneath the... Ogreness."

"Think it's gonna take me a little time not to jump every time he gets loud, but...yeah. He seems decent. It was the uh...day you came back home," he explains to Lux, and his blush deepens. "They got to see your...handiwork."

"Oohh." Lux's lips quirk upwards, fingertips tracing along the side of Jack's neck, even though the marks are gone by now. "Ah. Well. Can't say I mind you showing that off. But yeah, I get it. Gonna take me a while to get comfortable around him too, I think, even though he's sweet." Lux pauses a beat. "Oh! You two wanna see something cool?"

Jack tilts his head to give Lux better access to his neck, eyes half closing. "Always wanna see shit you think's cool, firefly." He grins and opens his eyes again.

Mearcstapa nods. "I want to see, I want to see." As he reaches out for some of the trail mix for himself.

Lux leans in to kiss at Jack's offered neck, then sits up and leans over the bed to grab their jeans. After a moment of digging they pull out a sparkly rainbow wallet, and from it pulls a Driver's License. They hand it over with a wide grin. It has Lux's picture and the name "Lux Volta" on it. "It's real! Well. As real as I can get. But real!"

He shivers at the kiss, and slides his free arm around Lux's waist as they sit up. "Nice, babe!" Jack looks the drivers license over, front and back, before handing it back to them with a grin. "'S a big step, isn't it?"

"Where'd you get that?" He seems delighted to see it, but there's a small look at Lux that has an element of 'bzuh?' to it as well.

"I even have a birth certificate and shit. It's crazy." Lux grins, taking the ID back once they'd both seen it. "Shiri got it for me, of all people. I have a full legal ID, now."

"...Shiri, huh?" His freckles greenshift strongly.

"That in exchange for the mural, or...?"

"Nah. They paid me a couple grand for the mural." Lux tucks the wallet away into the pocket then tosses the jeans aside. "They're funding this street artists collective that I'm starting up. And--well, I told them that I didn't have legal identification, which I needed to get the business license and rent office space and shit. So--they got me all that set up, so I could do it myself. In return for having a seat on the Collective's board." Their head tilts. "But we got a contract made up and all. I still have the majority control of the Collective. Kind of works out in both of our favors--they get their name attached to a charitable cause, and I... well, get to use their name. They're pretty popular in the art crowd. Draws in the rich fucks."

Jack arches his eyebrows. "Shit, babe that...sounds like a fucking job, or some shit." He pulls the other Darkling in close, and gives them a slow kiss. "How're you feeling, about all of it?"

"I'm proud of you, Lux. All of this sounds like...well, Big Things Happening."

Lux blinks a bit, then bites their lip. "Umm... It's kind of really fucking terrifying?" Lux's lights brighten briefly when Mearc says they're proud, head dipping before they curl back around them both, resting their head on Jack's shoulder. "I guess it is pretty Big, yeah... I'm gonna have to learn how to like... focus. It's gonna be heard, but I think it'll be worth it? I just hope I don't let all the artists I've roped into it down."

"Well. You're not alone. Yes, you have majority control, but you have a board, and a whole collective. Right?"

Lux gets a squeeze and a kiss on the cheek. "There's a lotta people to help you out with this, absolutely. And it sounds like Shiri's got experience with things like this? You've definitely got help."

Lux nods. "I'm still working on getting others involved on the board. Right now it's just me and Shiri, but I want to get a couple other people involved, at least. Like... I'm actually pretty good at the bureaucratic stuff? But I don't really like doing it, its boring, and... I know myself. I don't want to space out and ruin things. So having help will be good. Just--" They grimace. "It's just going to take a lot of work to get to that place. But we should be setting up the office this week. We're even going to have a workshop, where artists can come in and work." They grin. "But yeah. Shiri is actually really fucking cool?"

"That's really really awesome - proud of you, too. It sounds like a lotta work, but a lotta good work. Yeah?" Jack pets Lux's hair.

"I'm glad Shiri has turned out alright. I've seen Atalo a couple times since that incident; I still stop by his shop sometimes." He shifts his position slightly, trailing a fingernail gently along Jack's side.

"Yeah." Lux's eyes drift closed, smiling contently. They nuzzle in, draping an arm around Mearc's back, legs draping over Jack's. "I'm glad too." Their eyes crack open to thin glowing slits, smiling to stare at Mearc.

There's a few moments of silence while Jack absently scratches both their heads. "You...said Memento bought you groceries, you been feeling better?" He finally asks Mearc, leaning to kiss the side of his head.

"Yeah. I've taken a few days to decompress and recharge, did some work-work. I wish I could tell you both about it, the job ended both wonderfully and terribly. I flew too close to the sun."

Their eyes open more to peer at Mearc. "Uh... How did it go badly? That you can say."

"Oh no." Jack gives him another kiss, and a scratch on the head.

He thinks for a moment. "Got caught when I snuck back in to try to deliver the report to the client's office directly. I'm safe to say that, I'm pretty sure, that lacks enough detail."

"Isn't it also a good thing that you got caught? It shows their security wasn't completely flawed."

Jack winces in sympathy. "Means you probably had to rewrite your report though, huh."

Mearc laughs. Sure, it's self-mocking, but it's also warm and not upset at all. "We could have looked so cool, if we hadn't pushed it."

Lux's lips quirk, leaning in to kiss Mearc on the lips. "I'm sure you still did a really awesome job. Are you feeling better now that that big job is off your plate? I know it was stressing you out."

The kiss makes Jack smile warmly, and snuggle in close to them both. Sweet, sweet compersion. He nods at Lux's question, and looks to Mearc to hear the answer.

"Yeah, it's nice to have it off my plate, and to know it was done well. Also, speaking of work, you'd never guess who's interested in joining the wild world of pen testers."

"Who?" Lux settles back in, resting their chin on Jack's chest so they and look between them both easily.

"Hmm?" Jack has started to nuzzle Mearc's neck, but he does pause for a moment.

"Teagan. Apparently their interest in breaking and entering extends to, you know, wanting to get paid for that sort of thing." Another warm laugh. "Which...is going to be cool. I think it's a lot easier to talk to them one-on-one, for what it's worth."

"Seriously?" Lux blinks, then smirks. "Huh. I bet they'd be pretty awesome at it, even without wyrd tricks. Are you gonna show 'em the ropes?" They pause a beat, then nod. "Yeah. I feel the same way. Like--I like all of their polycule, but it's like... hard to really get much from them, sometimes. Which makes sense. I'm sure I'm annoying absorbed with you both sometimes too. But I really like talking to them when it's just us."

"I barely know most of their polycule, t'be honest," Jack admits. "All of 'em seem to give pretty decent advice, when I've caught 'em alone."

"Yeah. It's...the shield wall effect I have trouble with sometimes. When they're being LEGO."

"Yeah. That makes sense." Lux hesitates a moment. "Umm... By the way, I told Teagan I'm not going to sleep with them. So--you don't have to worry about that, at least?" they say to Mearc, watching him.

Jack shifts to watch Mearc, too, giving Lux's head a kiss on the way.

"Oh. Well. Thank you. I...my fears were a little irrational, surrounding them, I know." He red-freckles, and his expression seems sort of guilty.

"Everyone's got boundaries, I don't think you gotta feel bad about that." He does look to Lux to confirm.

"Hey." Lux cups Mearc's cheek, stroking their thumb along his cheekbone. "I love you. That means way more to me than a random fuck." Lux smirks. "Besides... I think I prefer flirting with them, getting worked up, then coming home to let myself be ravished by you and Jack. That's far more fulfilling."

"Ravished?" He seems amused rather than put off by the choice of words.

"...Does that word not mean hot passionate sex?" Lux squints.

Jack's scribbly blush scrawls across his cheecks again. "Him and me? Didn't think we were talking about that sorta thing yet..." He's clearly teasing. Mostly. Probably.

Mearc gives Jack a sidelong look. "I'm sorry, I'm still trying to imagine you ravishing Lux here. Give me a moment."

"....Erm." Now Lux blinks, caught off guard. "I didn't--mean it like that. I meant--or? ...But I mean..." They shrug. Then Mearc makes them snort loudly in amusement. "Okay, maybe it's more me ravishing Jack. Not that Jack can't get pretty aggressive, sometimes..."

He disentangles an arm enough to rub a hand over his face, scribbly lines dancing around his body, now. He's definitely grinning though, embarrassed as he is. "It's...definitely Lux doing the ravishing, t'be honest."

"Huh. Given the other night, I'd have expected it to be mutual ravishment. You're very..." A pause, as he greens up to search for words. "...capable of being quite forward, sometimes."

"Uhhh..." Lux looks between them, their brows climbing curiously, lips curling into a smirk. They poke Jack in the side lightly. "Hey, you can get pretty grabby sometimes..." Apparently they've decided it's now tease Jack time.

"Lots of biting." He doesn't sound at all put-off by said biting.

Jack scooches down the bed a little, like he's trying (very ineffectively) to hide. Still grinning, still all scribbly. "Eeehhh..." is all he can say for a moment, any sort of witty reply lost in the face of double teasing.

"Part of it's...doing what I wanna have done to me..." He finally says. "Like the biting."

"Oh?" Lux smirks wickedly, nipping at Jack's shoulder. "Usually it's me doing the biting." Then they let out a chuff sound, glancing to Mearc. "Well, there you go. Bite more, next time."

"Oh, I assure you, we both got bitten plenty." His laughter comes easily as he moves to nibble at Jack's abs.

Jack's breath catches. "Oh no -" but he doesn't sound at all upset at the nibbling from either of them, just surprised and kind of mock-resigned to his fate. "You're both awful."

"Very awful." Lux watches Mearc nibble, then looks Jack over slowly before clearing their throat. "Um... Just so I know... this isn't actually going anywhere sexual, right? Cause--this is hot as fuck and I don't want to get excited and make things weird. ...Sorry if I'm making it weird by asking. But better than making it weird by doing, I guess."

"Asking is good." He nods at Lux, sounding proud. "I've told Jack before that the ball is in his court, between me and him. But for all three of us...well. That's something I'm definitely interested in, but I don't want to push for it unless you're both enthusiastic about it. That said, I'm pretty sure Jack enjoys getting me all hot, in itself. And I have theories about why?"

Jack flashes Lux a surprised and proud look, scribbles drawn dark on his cheeks. "I uh...'m not gonna say I haven't thought about..." he gestures, "this. 'Cause I have. Didn't think it would come up before I figured my shit out about you'n I." He nudges Mearc. "But I'm -" He pauses, and takes a breath, 'cause words are hard. "I uh, I wanna. If you're both into it."

"I am one thousand percent very enthusiastic," Lux murmurs, nearly smirking--but seems to be trying to force themself to not just... rush in and get too excited. They clear their throat. "Okay. Well... Just because we all want to, doesn't mean we got to tonight. Do you two want to explore your relationship together more before we do anything the three of us? Cause like... I get that. I don't mind waiting."

"I feel like...I have some hunting I want to do with Jack, around the topics at hand, instead of directly on the whys and wherefores. And I think that's going to be a thing for when it's just us in the room. So, maybe stick a pin in this conversation for later?" There's a pause, and then Mearc squints at Lux. "You are growing up and becoming the responsible one. It's really nice, actually. It means I can relax, some, and know I don't always have to be the one starting these talks. Thank you, hummingbird."

There's a few seconds of silence from Jack, as he ponders all of that. And tries not to look too apprehensive at the hunting, and the theories. "This means I'm next, with the being responsible, doesn't it..." He wrinkles his nose for comedic effect, his scribbles fading slightly as he calms down a little.

Lux looks between them, listening, then nods slowly. "Okay. Sticking a pen in it works." Though lord does their eyes shine as they grin when they say that, definitely making an innuendo out of it. They snort softly after a moment, then lean in to kiss Mearc on the lips, lingering there a moment before breaking it. "You're welcome. I really am trying. I'm glad it's being seen." They rake fingers through his hair, then pulls back with a grin to Jack. "Uh huh."

Mearc smiles into the kiss, holding Lux's head while they linger. "Oh no, how awful, we all make one another want to be better people and stuff."

Jack smiles, watching their kiss, and runs gentle hands down the both of their backs. "'S the worst, isn't it? Seriously though, It's...really nice to see."

"It's way worth it," Lux agrees with a content sigh. "You're both... amazing. I feel so lucky. I'm never gonna take this for granted again." They lean in to kiss Jack this time, trailing a hand down his chest slowly.

Jack melts a little with a soft sigh, his hand moving to the back of Lux's neck. "You're pretty amazing too, firefly," he murmurs when he breaks the kiss, and brings his other hand up to run through Mearc's hair. "All of this...both of you...'s better'n I could've ever hoped, and I know I've said that before but I still mean it."

Mearc closes his eyes, tangling his legs with Jack's as he lounges back into the blankets. "I never expected any of this to be mine."

Lux reaches down to tug the blanket up over them all more, to tuck them in together. "Me either. But I'm pretty sure we're all in this for the long haul, so. Get used to it." Lux grins, resting their head on Jack's shoulder. "By the way, Jack... If you really want to get a tattoo, and you ever decide it is the right time... Me and Mearcstapa had talked about getting ones too. We could... all go together, whenever we're ready for that."

"I've never gotten one, so you both can't laugh at me if it hurts and I'm a baby about it."

"We'll hold your hand for the whole thing, if you want." Jack tugs on his hair, only enough to get him to tilt his face up so he can be kissed. "I...I gotta think about it, for me. Make sure I really want what I've been thinking about, kinda came to me on a whim and I wanna make sure it's the right thing to do. Would've fuckin hated myself after if I'd got it done today."

"That makes sense. Glad you backed out, then. You're always allowed to change your mind, Jack."

"You made the right choice, babe. I'm proud of you for sticking with it, even if it was hard. Yeah--" Nodding in agreement with Mearc. "You can always change you mind, don't ever feel bad about it. What is it you were thinking of, though? Or is it something you don't want to talk about yet?"

"It's...mmh." Jack lets out a breath, and looks between the two of them. "What were you thinking of getting?"

Mearc smiles. "A kitten. But a ferocious one."

"A hummingbird," Lux admits, a bit sheepishly.

"...Ah." He smiles, a light scribble sketched on his cheeks. "...Had the idea of a playing card, maybe. Jack of hearts." He sounds almost afraid to admit it. But it's out there now, and he can't take it back, so he just tucks his chin against Lux's neck, not really looking at either of them.

"Oh, Jack." He grins, wrapping around him somewhat. "I like that idea a lot."

"Jack of Hearts?" Lux blinks, looking between them as they let Jack hide his head. "...Oh. That's what you call him, right?"

"Mhm." It's muffled. Based on the amount of attention Jack's giving Lux right now it's clear that he's a little worried about what they think of it, and is trying to make up for any upset with affection.

"Mea culpa." He nods, watching Lux as well. Not worried, but still curious.

Lux doesn't outwardly react very much, other than their expression shifting to a thoughtful one. Not quite blank face, not a full wall thrown up. More chewing it over. "It's a really cute nickname," they say after a few seconds.

"I want...something for you, too." Jack kisses Lux's neck. "Just haven't figured out what yet. Any ideas?" He pulls back to look at them hopefully.

"I mean, you did just call them 'firefly' a couple minutes ago."

That makes Lux blink, looking a little surprised briefly--then their lips curl into a warm smile. "You don't have to. But if you wanna... well. I certainly wouldn't complain." They kiss his jaw softly. "Hmm... A firefly would be cute. Or are you wanting me to come up with a symbol for you, Jack? A nickname? Though, dunno if I'll come up with something as good as Jack of Hearts. That's clever."

"Wouldn't say no to a nickname - and I'm over here feeling like Mearcstapa gave you the best one with hummingbird, so you're not alone with those feels." He returns the kiss, lingering on their jaw before kissing their lips, too.

"But I'd get a firefly, too. Little UV reactive one, in yellow and pink maybe."

"So we're all getting UV reactive tattoos, so when I turn on my blacklight, we all glow?" Mearc grins ear-to-ear.

"I do love hummingbird. Ain't gonna lie." Lux snuggles in, getting comfy. Then they smirk suddenly, as if getting a sudden spark of inspiration. But they don't speak their thoughts. "Hell yeah," Lux agrees with Mearc.

"What's that smirk for, firefly?" Jack plants kisses across their cheek to murmur in their ear, and runs a hand through Mearc's hair again.

"Lux, are you going to do graffiti with our pet names for one another?"

"I was thinking about something like masterpiece, because. Well. I do love covering you with paint. Then my mind sidetracked to Master which was just kinda weird, then I thought magnum opus, and considering ways to shorten that into something cuter, but I'm not sure that's really... very catchy either." They puff out a breath, then blink at Mearc. "Oh, I totally should."

"Oh, fuck. I should know better than to give you ideas." Mearc grins, though.

Jack huffs out a laugh. "There's so many reasons why anything with 'magnum' 's a terrible nickname for me..." He grins. "Where'd you put it, though? The graffiti I mean, should be somewhere special."

"I know, I know. It's bad. But my mind keeps sidetracking back to something... art related." Lux pauses a moment to trace out a sketchy line that defines Jack's collar bone with a fingertip. "Hmm... Dunno. I'll have to find a good spot. Hell, could even put it up at the Collective. Planning on having all the walls painted." Their fingertip lingers at Jack's throat a second. "...We should get some UV reactive paint, sometime," they mutter thoughtfully, distracted.

Mearc watches the pair of them with a quiet smirk, staying out of the play for the moment.

A beat. "My muse?" With a slow grin.

Jack tilts his head back, and his breath catches slightly when Lux pauses, scribbles drifting across his cheeks.

"Mmm..." He takes a few seconds to think about it. "Not sure how that would translate to a tattoo, but...I'm happy to be your muse."

"It probably involves a toga." This is half muttered to himself.

Lux smirks, kissing his throat before snuggling in again. "Could just get like... a paint brush or something...? Doesn't have to be a literal depiction, you know." Lux glances towards Mearc, watching him a moment. "You... really should come by my hollow, sometime. I want to show you all the paintings I've done of you."

"Wait. You've painted me?" This is, apparently, somehow, a surprise.

"They're pretty hot, honestly." Jack's just slightly breathless, what with the neck kissing, but he turns to grin at Mearc. "The ones I've seen, at least."

"...Erm." Lux looks suddenly embarrassed. "Yeah....? Um. A lot..."

"I mean, uh. I've painted Jack a lot, too."

"Oh. Wow. I...yes, I really want to see those, sometime. I didn't realize you had done that." He sounds like he's a little awestruck by the idea.

Lux's glow shimmers and turns more orange-pink, practically radiating from inside their usually dark cheeks. Definitely blushing. "I mean... I think about you all the time. Why wouldn't I paint you?"

"Aw babe, that's gay," Jack grins at them, clearly enjoying the exchange.

Mearc pokes Jack in the side. "Shut up, you're gay." And then he pulls Lux closer for a slow, warm kiss.

"You're both pretty fuckin' gay..." Lux happily returns the kiss, letting it linger and stretch out for a bit. The orange-pink tone doesn't quite fade when they eventually pull back. "Yeah, so... We'll go there soon, then. ...And you can finally help us get that bed in, cause it's been sitting in Jack's apartment for a couple weeks now..."

"That sounds like a challenge. I'm in." He says this in the tone some people might say 'that sounds queer, I'm in'.

Jack hums quietly, contented, scribbles building a bit on his cheeks as he watches the two of them kiss.

"Being in the Hollow's like being in Lux's head. In the best way."

"Good. Cause damn do we need the help." They grin, then huff out a breath. "Yeah, it's a bit... much. Hopefully not too much."

"I can wear sunglasses, if you two think that might help." He grins, plopping back down, very much satisfied after that kiss.

Jack chuckles. "It might. I'm uh...gonna change the subject entirely, but...even if we're tabling some of the shit we wanna do tonight...can the line be drawn on the other side of heavy makeouts? 'Cause fuck, I am dying for that. With both of you." The scribbles on his cheeks deepen, and it takes him a bit to get all the words out.

Lux blinks at this, brows lifting--and flashing a proud grin at Jack. "Oh, babe," simple words, but the tone is praising and pleased. "Mm, definitely in for make outs."

Mearcstapa's eyebrows both raise, before he laughs and leans in to reward Jack for his candor. "Same. In fact, let's start here..."
