Jeremy fought [i]hard[/i] to not say something hilarious when Pepper threatened to give him a black eye. The specific retort that was currently floating around in his head was something along the lines of "If you could even reach it." He managed to keep it in though. Barely.

[color=2ECC71]"Well, alright..."[/color] Jeremy said when Pepper decided she was going to keep calling him Buddy. Not that he was entirely against having a nickname, and at least it wasn't... [i]Jerry... Eugh.[/i] It still wasn't preferable though, so that meant he had to give as good as he got. [color=2ECC71]"If we're gonna do this though, then I'm sure you won't mind if [i]I[/i] give you a nickname of my own, right?"[/color]

He nodded when she agreed to walk with him, also volunteering the unfortunate other guy in the process. He might've asked for a name or something, but at this point he wasn't sure if the poor guy actually [i]had[/i] introduced himself during the conversation, and he'd just forgotten or not listened in the first place. So, deciding to avoid [i]that[/i] potential train wreck, his new plan would be to just wait until someone else says his name, and then claim he knew it the whole time.

More importantly though, revenge.

[color=2ECC71]"Sure, lead the way Little Demon."[/color]

Eh, sounded better in his head, but whatever. The important part was for it to annoy her. And if this one didn't work, well, he'd be sure to get it right next time.

You know, if he was being honest, Jeremy was feeling [i]a little[/i] cheated when the mayor didn't turn out to be Orlando Bloom like he was promised. Instead, this William Turner turned out to be a strong contender for the most untrustworthy-looking politician he'd ever seen. That being said, he didn't want to seem too pessimistic of anything considering the guy was getting up to talk about his missing daughter, who by all accounts sounded like a real stand up person.

[color=2ECC71]"Hey Pep, whaddaya know about this Lillian girl? What kinda thing are we looking for?"[/color] He asked, leaning over to quietly ask the girl next to him. Of course, he had to lean over fairly far, on account of her being so short, but thankfully, he managed to do it in a way where he didn't have to fold his body in half. 

Honestly, he [i]may[/i] have actually been exaggerating the gesture a bit, but hey, he had to make sure that if she was going to keep calling him Buddy, he would give as good as he got and more.
