[indent][color=lightgray]Jake studied his superior's facial expressions. It looked to be a carefree expression, with, perhaps the most genuine, fleeting hints of guardedness. Acclimating to any new environment is difficult. Especially one where you move from a bustling metropolis to a quiet, out-of-the-way town. Though that may change soon, it does not change the contrasting experiences. Even Jake was unsure how long he would take to deal with the cultural whiplash. Recent times have shown public opinion of police officers have been going down, and while understandable, likely wouldn't have helped Levi's acclimation to Sanctuary, especially considering how he was treated with that run in earlier.

The question snapped Jake out of his idle ruminations. The boy can easily get lost in his thoughts, as his minds wanders easily. [color=#45a8ff]"Ah, not more than a year of being a police trainee, sir."[/color] Jake replies, [color=#45a8ff]"I was expecting being disliked as an officer, but it was a tad worse than I thought. Not that I'm one to complain, though. The civil unrest at officers in our country... well, it seems somewhat warranted."[/color]

[color=#45a8ff]"Maybe it isn't even that."[/color] He muses, as the waitress returned to place his water in-front of him. [color=#45a8ff]"Much appreciated."[/color] He idly began drinking the cup of water.

[color=#45a8ff]"Seeing as you're... well, experienced in police work, do you have any advice for fledglings like me?"[/color] He continued, [color=#45a8ff]"Despite how listless I appear, I'd rather not not be splattered with mud."[/color] Jake let out a light chuckle at his 'joke'.[/color][/indent]
