"Oh, er, thanks," replied Jack, a little confused, accepting the cookie.  Becky had already left a plate of them, but he didn't feel he should mention that.  It seemed to be becoming rather a pattern - pretty girls giving him food.  Well, there could be worse trends, he reflected.  "Er, that's very nice of you, Virva.  I'm Fenn, but everyone calls me 'Jack,'."  He wondered what he could say next.  While his mind churned, he found himself observing her, and how attractive she was.  With her long hair, and trim figure, she looked almost like a girl from an anime cartoon, he thought.  And she had a way of tilting her head slightly to one side, as if she were having difficulty hearing on one side, which was very endearing.<br/><br/>"I guess you're wondering why you haven't seen me about,"  he continued.  "It's just - I've been feeling a bit sick, but I'm OK now."  He broke the cookie, giving her the slightly larger half.  "er, did you want anything... not that a visit from a girl as pretty as you isn't welcome, of course?"
