“Far too late for that,” Jesse retaliated regarding letting it get to his head as he tried to read beyond the little Lenore was giving away with her words. While he considered to know the girl reasonably well, both from what he’s seen and what she’s told him, Jesse always kept an eye open for any new information from anyone. Especially on the first day - he needed to get a head-start in any way possible.
He raised an eyebrow, a smile crossing his face at Lenore advising him against his suggestion - at least for this year. “I appreciate the warning, Len, but I think I can handle a few rattled Enigma Stags,” Jesse commented, his hands in his pockets and a small laugh escaping him when he noticed some people around them turning their heads in disdain. “Especially when I have one of them on my side, right?” Jesse teased, a nod in her direction and nudging her arm with his.
The man she mentioned was revealed to go by the name Nic, and Jesse was stumped on who that was. “No last name? A true mystery man,” Jesse humorously stated. “He might be on to something. Maybe I should just go by Jesse from now on, keep everyone wondering, what do you think?” He continued, turning to her, joking over his intrigue into why this Nic person actually withheld such information. “What’s the deal then with him? Interesting as in you’re interested?” He questioned with his eyebrows raised in a teasing manner.
