Blum<br/>Location: DWMA Classroom<br/>Tagging: Roxi Reed, Zetsu<br/><br/>So, Roxi knew a good place for pizza. That was good, he thought, and he was still very much excited for the upcoming date! However, he didn't dwell on thoughts of the event very long. At least, he tried not to, as he wanted very much to pay attention to what Roxi was telling him. He'd asked about Weapon & Meister partnerships and voiced his doubts about how easily they seemed to form, but he seemed shocked by her answer, cocking an eyebrow. He didn't interrupt her, save for the occasional 'Hm...' and 'Mmhm!', but his face was very expressive during her spiel. She would undoubtedly know how interested he was in the information and how squarely he focused on her and her words. The subject was very, very important to him! Not to mention interesting. The way she'd explained it to him, it seemed like the relationship between a meister and a weapon was very much like most other relationships. It could be a natural connection, could be something that needed to be worked at. All and all, her words put his mind at ease a bit. He had full intention on asking her to be his by the end of this day, now that he knew that they would be able to work things out over time. He was very much out of touch with his own Soul Wavelength,  his unpredictable Soul Menace techniques showed as much. It would take nothing short of a miracle for their souls to be compatible from the get go.<br/><br/>He'd expected the conversation regarding Partnerships to end with Roxi's short explanation, and was just about ready to go about lounging, rolling over the thoughts of their potential partnership in his head. However, he saw her reach between the both of them and watched as she pulled a book from her bag, setting it aside and taking a seat a little closer to him. Of course, he didn't mind it in the slightest, and merely eyed her and the book quizzically, his curiosity doubling when he noticed that it was a class textbook she was holding. She flipped through the book quickly, her elbow occasionally brushing up against his arm, causing him to shutter a time or two. Eventually, he moved his arm and slid it behind her, allowing it to rest atop the chair's top-rail and leaning in closer. Even though she slid the book towards him, he wanted a better look...and an excuse to get a little closer to Roxi, but he'd likely not outright admit to it.<br/><br/>"Chapter 3, Section 2: Soul Compatibility..." He read aloud before silently continuing on his own. Occasionally, he would murmur a few words, things that stuck out or seemed particularly interesting to him. His eyes would occasionally shift back to Roxi time and again; he did catch her as she looked away and pulled at her scarf, but he said nothing of it, merely looking back to her book. That was when he'd had mentioned Stein, and when her eyes had darted back to him. "...Well?" He repeated. She wasn't answering for some reason, and he turned his head back towards her, his hazel hues staring into her own. They really were close...he felt a bit of heat building in him as well...but he didn't let it show as she finally begun to speak. She seemed a bit confused for a moment, a bit lost, but in the end her answer made Jack chuckle a bit and that flirty little wink reddened his cheeks. "Heh heh, yeah. Guess being in pieces would kinda put a damper on things, huh?"<br/><br/>Jack's chuckles were brought to a sudden and immediate close, however, when a third voice entered the conversation from his right side. His face slipped back into that neutral gaze once more, his smile receded back into a blank expression and he raised an eyebrow as he looked over his shoulder at the newcomer. He went on about Weapons and Meisters, adding on to what Roxi and the book had already told him. The textbook had made mention of Autonomous Weapons, but only briefly. It had said they were rare, and emphasized that both Weapons and Meisters tended to be at there fullest potential when in a partnership. It was interesting to meet a solo weapon, sure, but right now Jack was much more interested in some rather basic information. For example, who was this guy?, and what did he think he was doing busting into the middle of the conversation so suddenly? Once he'd asked whether or not the two of them were a couple, that was the final straw.<br/><br/>"Look, we're not-" He stopped short, clearing his throat a moment. They weren't a couple, sure, but maybe he shouldn't be so quick to correct people. He didn't want to give Roxi the wrong idea...it wasn't as though he was opposed to being with her, after all. "We just met really...the more important question would be who the hell are<em>you</em>?"
