[Jack takes care of everything, stepping a bit ahead of the women for his own sake as well as Angel's. This...this is not going how he expected and he doesn't get it. He's on his best behavior. He didn't pitch a fit over Athena. He backed off when Angel freaked out. He knows he's doing everything right, and still....]

[The little group is seated, preliminaries seen to. Jack's puppy settles itself under his chair with a familiar ease that speaks volumes.]

[Athena's presence makes this awkward dinner even more awkward than it had to be. Once seated, he remembers Angel's comments about alcohol and doesn't bother ordering the customary bottle of table wine he usually orders when taking people out.]

So...Anybody caught any cool new Pokemon lately?

[Considering the best conversation he and Angel had managed was about Pokemon, Jack felt it a safe topic of conversation.]

Oh! Speaking of Pokemon...here.

[He remembers the charm bracelet with the mareep charm in his pocket. He takes out the box and slides it across the table toward Angel.]

Made me think of you. Don't...don't read anything into it, I just thought you'd like it.
