“A community of one is the best kind of community that you can get.” Because he was not a people pleaser, he was not someone who would choose to be around people unless he was very drunk. Sure he may talk to people in passing, but the conversations tended to be kept short and to the point, not much room for lingering questions and idle chit chat. “I’ve never said you’re not talented, I simply keep you out of my plans because most of the time it’s things you don’t believe or agree in. Best to keep you out the way so I don’t have to sit and listen to you lecture me about the risks of using dark magic from time to time. So I don’t think me not asking for your assistance is quite what you explained there.” Jude hummed in acknowledgement, “She’s new to the shadow world of New York, give her a few weeks and she’ll be as miserable as the rest of them. She hadn’t heard of me, she just took it as though I was complimenting her, it was very unnerving.”
“You do know that I was toying with you Jude. Keep up these compliments and I might actually begin to think someone has taken over your body.” It wasn’t normal for Jude to throw them about at all. “Compared to most people I’m laid back with regard to magic but I’m not about to allow you to singe your pretty eyebrows off or blow yourself up. You’re not invincible though you do act like it on occasion.” Another couple of drinks were poured and she moved one over to Jude before swallowing back some of her own. “Maybe that’s a good thing though. Good for you to have someone who doesn’t know what an ass you can be.”
