Jake was positively beaming, the head pats from Nicky making him feel so warm and happy. He even explained the joke to him! He didn’t understand how Jack was anything like Jake and what made it a joke, but he made sure to note it. Maybe he could call Barty a fun new name some time to surprise him! He didn’t know many names though, he’d have to ask someone what sort of name they thought Barty should be called for a joke. But as Nicky held his hand under the table - it made him feel so tingly and hyper! - he was instructed to calm down and work on his breathing exercises. So he took deep breaths in and out, repeating the mantra over and over again - [i]I am one with the force and the force is in me[\i]

And it worked this time! The rush of energy swirling in him seemed to subside, enough for him to catch Cassie’s interaction with Barty. He was really confused why she would spit out something bad back into her drink, but from what Barty was saying, Cassie was being a little confusing so he didn’t worry about it. What did worry him, though, was that Cassie clearly didn’t like Barty. His lip pouted and his shoulders slumped a bit. He just wanted all his friends to be happy and get along! If Cassie didn’t like Barty and he made her upset… 

[COLOR=9A5B8A]“Why doesn’t she like Barty?”[/color] he asked Nicky. 

And then, he paused, frowning again. [COLOR=9A5B8A]“And what’s a Disney princess?”[/color] He hadn’t spotted the birds yet at the other table.
