It took about 30 seconds to almost a minute for him to reply. He had to think about what he wanted to say. There were so many options. He could ask her to come home with him, or to go on a date. Or he could compliment her hair or her... her eyes. Those eyes, they were so familiar. The amber color was uncommon but not completely rare. They were not dissimilar to the girl hero, Trick that he had fought the night before. But there was no way this young book store clerk with the long, red hair could be the same girl. "Hey." He gave a small friendly smirk, he attempted to talk softly to not upset the others any more, not that he really cared. "I like your hair, is it natural? I mean of course it is, is it? Er... nevermind...doesn't matter, rough start. Sorry." Jack placed his hand on the back of his head in embarrassment. "Sorry sweet thang, I was wondering if you'd like to go out with me. To uh... eat food? You're not old enough to drink right? Me neither. If you want to we can go get drunk at my place. Haha." [i]Confidence, idiot, where's that confidence that Black Jack always has??[/i]

"Is that awkward?" He lowered his voice and deepened it, attempting to be funny, "My apologies, this one is kind of an idiot." Jerking his thumb toward his chest he continued, "but anyway, wanna go on a date some time, sweet thang? Free food, nothing to lose. Say yes, you won't regret it." Jack smiled at her, placing his hands in his pockets. "What do ya say?" 

"OH OF COURSE. Where are my manners?? I'm Jack" He held out a hand for her to shake. "How do you do?"
