Out of habit, Jude analyzed the features of who he was talking with when Aiden glanced up at him by scanning his face quickly. He was as he had been last night, obviously exhausted. The dark circles under his eyes were a clear indicator of that, not to mention the slouch to his shoulders as he hovered over the table from the chair he'd all but seemingly collapsed into. At least he mustered a smile, Jude thought as Aiden replied to his question. At first, Jude thought that the "she" Aiden mentioned may have been a romantic interest, as most people would, but he'd said the pronoun fondly, but off-handedly. The 'she' must've been the approaching female who placed the tray down, her attention fully on her friend. Jude smiled to her as she noticed his presence, but he had no time to introduce himself as she began to interrogate in only the way that a close friend could do. Her words made Jude quirk his eyebrow, amused. When she directed her attention informally to Jude, he said, "I appreciate the offer." As he spoke, he loosely hung the sweater over the back of the free chair in front of him. "I'll be right back." With that, he turned to go make his own lunch selection.
