Jordan revealed his charming signature grin, a rather normal non-verbal response to the more uptight operator. Fully aware of how flippant remarks and actions came to be. Outside of work, the texian trouble maker revealed a more relaxed and playful personality behind those ‘goofy’ goggles. Okay yes...Trace had to act serious on the clock, but that did not mean he had to look the part of much either...which would explain the fashion choice. So long as he did his job, all would be well, and If someone did not like his mannerisms then it works against them. The hard breacher loves his enemies. They add only more fuel to the fire in him. Kiss his ass more, why not?
The ass in question, however, took its place by Mike’s side. Exaggeration made by accenting a graceful seating for a king. Surely, someone in the bar could appreciate the silly gesture. After all, his body always did the talking over stupid words thrown back and forth. “You heard the shit Harry said about the fucking operator party right? I wanted to know what you’re bringing. It better not be some shitty five dollar biscuits and tea.” Laughing at his own joke while raising a hand, ordering a beer, the usual.
