Jack watched as Kage left and grinned as she stated that there was no such thing as a friendly brawl. He chuckled and knocked back the rest of his second mug before moving on to his third. He'd have to teach her wrong someday. As he returned to his drink he glanced over to see Damian come over and take a seat. Jack gave him a grin and shrugged off the fact he was listening in on him and Kage. He's sort of use to people listening in on him. Most were contract killers, some from the government and on a few occasions the Boss himself. Damian though is a new little listener, the only difference with him is that he's not out for Jacks head. Soon Damian began to voice his concerns about Kage and how he wanted to clarify a few things about her and her past. Jack just listened while taking a few sips from his drink and let Damian words floated around in his head. Honestly he had a point, Kage was a little odd and it was sort of weird that she was able to get around his level so fast, but as Jack said before, he doesn't care. He let Damian finish and sat in silence as he pieced his reply together. After a few seconds of silence he sighed and looked to Damian. [color=f26522]"I guess you're right, everything about her is strange. Her skills are top notch for a newbie and her past is nothing but a freaking mystery. But,"[/color] he paused for a second and let his face drop into a slightly serious look. [color=f26522]"Some of us don't want people knowing our past. Be it either out of shame, distrust or simple privacy most people would like to keep their past in the shadows. Take me for example, you think I was always like this?"[/color] he asked with a dry chuckle. [color=f26522]"When I came here I was a bit like her. I stayed away from people and kept to myself while keeping my past hidden. Two of those three things have changed. Not a single person in this guild knows my background, I would hope, and I pray no one ever will,"[/color] he said and sighed as he returned to his drink for a quick sip. [color=f26522]"What I'm trying to say is that she may not want people to know for her own reasons. I'm sure as hell not gonna pry on it, so why don't you do the same and stay out of her business? [/color]he said as he glanced over to him as he drank for his mug. [color=f26522]"And if she has a secret that will put the guild in danger then I'll do my job and put her down," [/color]he finished coldly. The two were silent for a moment, Jacks mood was a little bit ruined now, but he knew how to fix that. He tapped on the table and held up five fingers to the bartender who nodded and went to get his order. He looked back to Damian and grinned. [color=f26522]"Besides, the whole mystery vibe she gives off is a bit cool don't ya think? Makes me want to test her abilities myself," [/color]he chuckled and thanked the bartender as he slammed five mugs onto the table. He slid one over to Damian and grinned. [color=f26522]"Come on now, lets have a drink. If ya want we can have a friendly challenge!"[/color] he laughed. He need to brighten his mood, so why not drink! [@pkken]
