( He's not answering just yet, either way. But, the look he gives when he sets his empty glass down. He's curious. What does the cute criminal think of him? )
( He'd continue to smolder-flirt (flolder?), but there's a knock at the door before it opens. )
You must be Alaric Saltzman.
( "And you must be who I get to thank for rescuing those kids. Normally, I'd say stay here as long as you like, but we received news of an impending plan, possibly an attack." )
("To start, some of your connections. Relocating underage witches, vampires, and werewolves is the easy part. But if they're on to us, they're on to their identities.")
And muscle?
("Yeah, we could use all the help back here that we can get. I don't want to seem ungrateful." For earlier, that is. )
( Ric just lets himself into the room and picks the bottle and the top to the bottle up.
"I'll be in my office when you're ready, Alexander."
And once they're left alone, Jackson just laughs when he meets Alex's eyes. Alex still has to collect his things, put shoes on, and such, but it still feels like this ended quickly. )

He should leave tonight.
no subject
Yeah, I'll hit the road.
[A beat, before he points to Ric.]
Any chance I could borrow a car? Stealth and speed is not a school bus's strong suit.

"Yeah, we have a few," and then. "Is that my scotch?" )

I guess we're going our separate ways.

[He reaches into his jacket before pulling out a card with a phone number on it.]
In case you decide you want to ask more questions.
no subject
And if I don't have any questions?
( If he just wants to talk, Alex? )
no subject
You've got the number. Do whatever you want with it.
[And with that he saunters out to hit the road.]
