Jake comes downstairs with Oy at his heels, freshly bathed and looking for the first time in months as if he's had a decent night's sleep. He's even got that content expression back on his face, and the long-absent journal under his arm.

He takes a seat at the bar and orders a sandwich.

"Ka-mais through a wheel, say true," Jake says, still grinning. "It shocks Roland more when I participate, I think. He expects it from Eddie, but not from me."

Cuthbert snorts. "Eddie always has struck me as the type to have a corrupting influence on the young."

Alain's grin at Jake does not say that he enjoys the same thing, now and then. Not at all. Of course not.

To Cuthbert, he says mildly, "You'd recognize it well, I wot," and has a sip of coffee.

Jake orders himself a cup as well and sets it aside to cool for a moment.

Their banter reminds him strongly of his own tet and it's impossible for him to lose the smile.

"We're perfectly able to corrupt ourselves but you're handy to have around."

Cuthbert laughs again at that, and bows with a flourish. "Well, we're here to serve."

Alain rolls his eyes.

He's still grinning into his coffee, though.

"I'll be sure to keep that in mind," Jake says seriously, grabbing his mug and putting it to his lips to hide the smile.
