Gone was the slightly playful, mildly joking guy.  He looked at her briefly and seemed to actually be taking the last descriptor seriously.<br/><br/><strong>"'Strong', I guess,"</strong>he said, though it seemed fairly clear to her that he wasn't talking about physical strength.  Or, at least, if he was he was using it as a metaphor.<br/><br/>He gave her a slight grin and after a few moments of silence, spoke up once more.<br/><br/><strong>"Listen... earlier I had a chance to explore a bit after my breakfast date... ah... ended early."</strong><br/><br/>A small, amused smile played across his lips at the euphemism.  JJ didn't often bother with shading the truth, but he was still trying to find his way in the game.<br/><strong><br/>"I think I saw a little cove up the beach a bit.  It's sort of far, but I think you can handle it and it looks like there'll be some shade there.  We can stop and have a drink... maybe a few bites... before we head back. You game?"</strong><br/><br/>
