He bit back on his words, tipping his bottle to the man and Rachel out of total respect.  They had unofficially become the First Couple of the whole area scene.  He had even overheard some in the crowds arguing over when they'd get married.  He'd turn his head to E.T. as Cord touched Rachel, shaking his offered hand, possibly a bit too excitedly "Thanks man, I got a feeling its gonna be one wild ride, but I just want you all to know, I'll be doing my best to have your backs.  Anything you<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 10pt;"></span> need, I'll be there..."  As he says that last part his piercing blues turn back to Emily.  "I owe Ms Browning here so much for giving me this chance, and I wont be letting her...or the band down if I can help it."  Jacob would force his attentions away from her beautiful form, mentally kicking himself as he looked back to the entire band, taking a swallow from his bottle as Ember came through the door, stepping closer to Emily to give him room.<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></div>
