Re: Jacob and Marlene
Trust was a tricky thing, and not just something he was going to be giving that easily, even to someone like Marlene, no matter what she was offering him. She was far more honest than he liked, he made his life avoiding the whole truth, in fact the one person he had been the most honest with was Peter. He didn't have friends, not real friends, not anyone who would do anything for him the way Marlene suggested she would - he'd had allies, a few minions, but not friends.
The change in Marlene was yet another surprise, he'd known it was an act, but to see the change there right in front of him - it was still surprising.
"I think you'd be hard pressed not to find a man who appreciated what is being offered." He smirked, he could dance - ignoring the thoughts that now filled his mind about trust and friendship and all the things that went along with those things.
