Jake nodded at her explanation. John always did have that eye that could pick out talent. Hell, if he survived that Kaiju Battle, he could have become one of the directors of the Jaeger program. Would have been a good one too. But that's in the past. Jake's here now, maybe he can follow in his brother's example. He heard her talking about how he cared about Lexi and Canuck.<br/><br/>"Misjudged me? Catherine, I really am an asshole. You probably hit that spot on." Jake smirked. "I don't care too much about Lexi, haven't even met her yet, really. I just know Canuck. Or uh... Matt. And he reminds me of John in a way. Very focused and determined. He has a goal in mind. John's goal was to become something better than what everyone thought we were going to be. Canuck's goal seems to be about protecting his sister and becoming a better pilot."<br/><br/>Jake finished his ramblings on about Matt, leaning back in his chair. They were just sitting in a mostly empty cafeteria at this point. And she must be bored out of her mind, talking to an asshole.<br/><br/>"You know, you don't have to stay. If you want to go talk to those two, you can. I remember a girl, I assume Lexi, screaming your name when I first arrived. I assume you're friends."
