Jacob had been aware of the footsteps as someone came down the tunnel, but had chosen to ignore them in hopes they would go away. Upon seeing it was an actual person though, Jacob forced his eyes further open and pushed himself to sit up. He listened to the supposed Reaper leader, and believed what she said considering how extreme her costume looked.

"I uh," Jacob began, trying to think of an answer as he rubbed a tired eye, "I had a headache. I don't know; needed some time to myself." His lack of sleep again catching up with him Jacob felt exhausted as he pushed himself to stand up, his thoughts clouded on top of the slight bit of nervousness he felt. He was screwing up his first impression with the person who could decide to kick him back out on the street if she so desired and it didn't make him feel particularly confident. "I'm sorry. It's nice to meet you, Scorn. Thank you for admitting me into your organization. My name is Jacob," he managed to spill, his thoughts running together as he tried to sound somewhat presentable.
