[ "Reunion." And "reunion gift." Well that isn't a fucking creepy way to put it or anything... This whole thing is awkward enough, but this is also starting to work on his nerves and make him tense and paranoid. He doesn't like this at all and he's not sure what the hell to make of this mess.

Honestly, Jake has no idea what to really think about any of them either. Kallie is probably the one he's most on the fence about despite knowing her longest. Quiet and serious and can't take a joke for anything... that about sums her up. Not really the type he'd go hang out with. Sierra, on the other hand, seems pretty cool so far. She's the only other one at the table who's even smiling. And the kid?

Well, he doesn't really know what to think of the kid either until just this moment. ...This kid is kinda hilarious. Jake can't actually take his comment as an expression of honest-to-god anger and just laughs. Okay, he's finally feeling like he can actually relax a little. This is nice. Thanks, kid. ]

Oh come on. We could've seen how long we could manage to keep it going. You totally ruined it. [ He gives a fake sigh of disappointment. ]

Though I wouldn't mind cutting the conspiracy cult-ese either. Not like anyone'd care to get a place like this wired or anything. It's probably fine if we're just direct, right?

[ Without thinking, he also ends up looking at Kallie when saying this. He knows she's more of a veteran at this whole thing than he is so she's kind of, sort of the authority here, he guesses. At least compared to him, who will shamelessly admit he doesn't know shit. ]
