“That was some party at your place.” She snips the stems on a rose and looks over at Ava sideways. She’d gone because she hadn’t a reason not to at the time and because she’d wanted to talk to Anastasia. That plan had gone out the window the moment mythical people had been revealed to just be around Corinth. Casually, as if it were nothing. The place had weird vibes, admittedly she was used to weird, but not Medusa turning partygoers to stone weird. It’s been two weeks in the bay, less than that she’s been at the flower shop, but Jazz has an idea of who Ava is by now. Studious and bright and maybe even a little naive and she immediately reminded her of her sister back home.

“There ye are, I was wondering where ye got off tae.” It was stupid and he shouldn’t have cared that some other vampire was giving her the eyes, but she was just so...Easy was the word he’d use to describe it. A person that could be charmed without putting much thought into it, innocent to the ways of his kind. It was the same kind of behavior Noah had exhibited that’d made him feel guilty for stealing him away for a bite. This young woman at the bar had given him the same kind of vibe and he’d been going back and forth trying to decide if he wanted to do something about it. But the vampire next to her was obnoxious and Maddox’s fucking wee ghost had once again tried to blend into the crowd. Or maybe he was itching for a fight. Regardless, Jamie perched himself with confidence and drink in hand at the bar on the other side of the young woman. “Thanks fer keeping her company fer me.” And he was smiling at the other vampire, posture relaxed as he made himself at home in his seat and rested an elbow at the bar. They must have deemed him too high a risk or maybe they just weren’t in the mood for a challenge because with a mumble they were shuffling off a couple of seats down.
