Trying to ignore the brushing of hands and the lowering of her dress, Jack cleared his throat,"I can try and stay calm for you, darlin'." He chuckled as he downed the liquor in one go before sighing as he eased the cup back down. He shook his head as his hand came up and rubbed his face.<br/><br/>"No...I really don't have a place to stay...for<i>obvious</i>reasons. Though, if you do have a place available, I wouldn't mind taking a room. Besides, if that Goblin has any balls whatsoever, I might have to stay here for awhile to make sure they don't come back and burn this place down. And I wouldn't like it if such a pretty little lady ended up losing her place of business and home, or worse, just because I wasn't hanging around."<br/><br/>He grinned at her and chuckled, it seemed things went back to normal rather nicely. And it took all Jack could to keep his eye from looking all over Lydia...but she was a rather fine Human. As stated before, he had been with plenty of women...but this one was standing out from the bunch. It was rare to find a pretty woman that was as rough and tough as she was beautiful. And, one thing for sure, she had pride and spirit...he liked that.<br/><br/>"Don't worry 'bout the smell...it'll get better when it starts drying up on your skin."<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
