Jessie beamed as the slightly-odd green-eyed man began to speak, seeming to be opening up to her. He seemed nice, if a bit shy, but she didn't care much about that. Jessie knew she tended to ramble anyway, maybe a more mousey type would let her do that without getting scared off. "Hell yeah CCU," She gonfirmed, pumping her fist in the air. "Screw those Central elites!" She cried out, eliciting a glare from a group of tourists from across the street. She stuck her tongue out at them, figuring they must be from Central and were, therefore, elitists.

"Man, your work almost sounds more boring than mine!" She said as she turned her attention back to her companion. "Do they let you work out while you're there? They should, it'd only be fair. I should get a membership too, I need to get fit." She said, sparing a glance at her twiglike arms. The girl didn't expect to get into any fights when she began to enact her plans, but it'd be better safe than sorry.

When the subject of school came up, Jessie listened a bit more closely; school was one of the few things that didn't bore her immediately, and she was glad to hear some of her studies may overlap with Ezra. "Man, that sounds like a wide courseload! Engineering, huh? I'm a comp-sci major, but I'm taking some electrical engineering classes too. Technology moves forward every day, and it's our job to keep up with it! You know, if you ever need help with your biology stuff, my dad might be able to help, depending on what it is. He used to be a geneticist, until his small-brained colleagues laughed him out of a job over a theory they were incapable of understanding." Jessie said, letting an edge of bitterness into her voice. She could still remember the day her father had lost his position, and the spiraling the family had done after that. But soon enough, they wouldn't need to worry about that anymore.

Jessie perked up when Ezra asked about herself, flashing him another grin as the hint of a foul mood evaporated. "Oh, me! My favorite subject!" She quipped, only half-joking. "Well you already know about school, I only work part time at the shop over here, my parents run it and have some high-schoolers to help them so I'm mostly weekend work. It's real boring, I gotta tell you. And everyone expects you to know everything about all the flowers, and I can barely remember when they got watered last! Plus the smell... People always say 'Oh it's so nice in here, you must love it', but everything just blends together and gives me a headache... Good thing it's only part time, and I even got our early today!" Jessie could see her turn coming up, and she doubted Ezra was heading the same way she was after that, but they still had a moment if he wanted to talk some more, and it wasn't as if they'd never see each other again.
