Mai was suddenly approached by Serah. Jake seemed to understand what was going on though and allowed her to help lead her to a table.

Jake himself had temporarily left after Mai was sat down by Serah so he could find his own chair.

"...don't worry...I'm fine Serah...more or less", Mai said.

"...oh so this is Serah Gene? Oh I'm so mean", Jake said with a rhyme.

Giving a polite cough, Jake then said, "Sorry. Just like to rap and rhyme sometimes. Name's Jake Armstrong. Reconissance division and newest pilot to your squad. Sorry if I'm nosy about people's name's and such but...kind of my job."

"...Jake...your scaring her", Mai then said.

"Hey. Just telling the truth. These days, just too many lies going around", Jake responded.

Looking at Serah, Jake said, "My bad though. Anyways, Mai was briefly in my division back in the day when she was "bouncing around" division to division. She and I are sorta buddies."

"...it wasn't for very long. "Seven" never got along with you", Mai then said.

"Whoa whoa...first off, is anyone "aware" of your condition?", Jake then asks.

Mai looked down at the table. She closed her eyes then said, "...some most likely...if I remember right...I think Harold and Daniel picked up on it when I spoke to them about my framework's classified parts on a private line...I think Zim picked up on it too during the...battle..."

Shaking her head, Mai then looked at Serah.

"...Serah...this is a depressing question but...I need to know...who did we lose? My memory is still jumbled...I know we lost one en route to the battlefield due to some space sickness but I forget who...then I landed in Joppa..."

Jake shook his head then said, "Mai. Were here for food. Not heartbreak."

"...then do as Serah says and leave us...I won't do anything "crazy"...Some ice cream will be fine if they have any", Mai then said.

Letting out a sigh, Jake said, "Well nice to meet'cha Serah Gene. But keep and eye on her like a laser beam."

On that, Jake left the table to fetch Mai and himself some food.
