Jason's eyes simmered as Cassie pinched his hand, but he let her get by with it as she moved over to give Alex his hug. He felt a little left out, but even he couldn't resist giving Alex a hug. He was, in Jason's personal opinion, one of the binds that held their group of friends together. Without him and Hannah, he was unsure of where'd they be now. Though when Alex began to go onto his shock frenzy, his head threw back in laughter.<strong>Yes, of course."</strong>He said between his laughter, ready to take his "punishment" as soon as he needed to.<br/><br/>Though before any of that could happen, Victoria came out to greet them. He found himself stalling as his eyes ran over her, drinking in her visage like a well needed glass of water. He grinned lightly at her compliment, a grin that turned into a bare tooth smile after Alex started to banter about his "irresistible Charms".<strong>"And you're always a refreshing vision to the eyes Victoria. It's been far too long."</strong>He said as he stepped forward to give her a hug, planting a kiss on her cheek that was probably a little too close to the neck before backing off with a sly grin.<br/><br/>Jason knew she wouldn't be upset, it was just his sort of affection. It was then that the door opened, though, and he turned to face Joe and Hannah as they came out. He laughed aloud at Hannah's joke, and just shook his head at Joe.<strong>"Well, I'd be getting a lot more "regulars" in my life if the new personal assistant corporate stuck me with didn't have my schedule so damned tidy. What's worse, she reminds me of Cassie. How did the woman put it, again? Oh, she's immune to my so called charms."</strong>He said with a perturbed look as he took the rum glass, his features immediately softening at Alex's display.<br/><br/>It was then he looked toward Joe with a nod, and just chuckled.<strong>"Don't worry, I figured you were just miffed that I missed the wedding. Relax, and have some fun. It's just vacation as usual, enjoy it."</strong>He said before looking toward Alex with a mock expression of fear. He dramatically stepped back before knocking down with the rum with his face tightening. The alcohol didn't really bother him, in fact he enjoyed the smooth burn as it ran down his throat. But the show would entertain his friend more, and that was what he was really interested in.<br/><br/>After the scene, Jason looked up with a surprised expression.<strong>"The execution failed, I think we need another two doses. Vicky, Casie; care to join us?"</strong>He smiled then and stood up straight again before he leaned back against the railing with a chuckle. Things were already starting to look up, but his eyes couldn't help but cast over to Joe. The man seemed like Kasper, things were different for him this year. He didn't know what was up, but he just hoped it didn't bring em down enough to spoil their fun.
