Marek was not expecting the response from Jack that he got. He looked up halfway through, slightly confused. How could Jack be so accepting? He had a past, baggage. Experience others would find too much to deal with. A family too much to deal with. An ex-fiance who'd hurt him, and could possibly still want to hurt him. How could this man be so understanding?
Marek's eyes widened and then his expression softened. "No, don't apologize. Please. You're so nice and understanding. I just... I don't know why. I'm nothing special. If anything, I just cause problems." Reaching up he began to fiddle with the kitty charm on his ever-present collar. The one tell of his pet status, if one was in the know. "If you would like, there is a music room on campus. I could play for you there."
