As often happened in Jaclyn's life, things transpired that negated her deciding. 
In this case, Mary suddenly walked in. 

Jaclyn's attention thus remained with the growing welcoming party - increasingly so with what she was hearing.
So this Max was capable of resetting a warped reality?
Apparently Jaclyn had missed some portalling he just did.

She had to smile as he suddenly started firing questions at Neil.
Her little sister was the full-of-questions type with things that lit her interest as well, though Imogene's style wasn't so rapid!

Jaclyn was learning a lot from the continuing conversation - a lot from Max and -save for that curious detail about it being a bad thing to touch Marygold's hand- mainly about him. He was from New Orleans, had a family, and had been a member of the Mutant Underground...Jaclyn wasn't initiated in what exactly that was, and she wondered if his "former" status was his decision or somebody else's.
She also learned he enjoyed sparking water.

Jaclyn had an unopened bottle of water in her bag, but it wasn't sparkling. [color=gold][i]I wonder if there are any mutants who have the ability to carbonate things,[/i][/color] she wondered in her thoughts, only half seriously.

But hold on - speaking of abilities, preceding much of this aforementioned info seemed to be some power attempt. Jaclyn had distinctly noticed Max doing something with his hand but then it was like he'd been interrupted. Was it Mary he was looking at, then? Jaclyn wondered if Mary had telepathic powers and had just said something to only him. 

By the time Max's attention reverted to Neil, Jaclyn was beginning to feel like a 5th wheel adjacent to the conversation, and got the idea to head into the kitchen. She knew sometimes things could fall be the wayside in conversations, even or especially in groups, and just in case the "tour" decided to proceed without acknowledging that thirsty detail, she thought she'd grab a bottle of sparking water for Max.

She would introduce herself when she brought it back for him.


Upon entering the kitchen, she was met by a scene of some fanciful delight: a young girl with charming yellow fairy wings sharing cookies with - oh, Edus Penior. For some reason Jaclyn felt...vaguely off kilter when he was around.  

She reverted attention to the young girl, smiling: [color=gold]"Hello, Tatl. What have you been up to, lately? Besides the higher cupboards," [/color] she joked.
