Ha! What the hell is he, the bad guy from some crappy romance novel?

[Because that's exactly what it sounded like. He'd be the guy the heroine was engaged to, an arranged marriage or some shit, and there'd probably be a stable boy or a soldier or something.... Jack's knowledge of romance novels is mostly second hand.]

So, I haven't seen you around. You pretty new?

[She has to be, he likes to think he'd notice a badass babe like this before.]
