Marek was a happy go lucky type of guy. It was just his nature. So quick to give out smiles, happily talking to and being near other people. A ray of sunshine influencing those around him without even meaning to. He was not some perfect ray of sunshine, though. Even in his life, there were cloudy days and storms. Even the ceaselessly happy had days of sadness and depression.

He'd come into the coffee shop in a happy enough mood with school work to do. He'd brought his laptop with him and got his iced latte and a muffin to pick at. Moving to a table near an outlet he got out his laptop, booted it up and plugged in earbuds. With his player up and running he set it to random and then dove into his work.

Then Adele played. A song that had been just a song before; a good one, but just a song. That is until it gained more meaning to him. His fingers slowed and stopped. The cheery air around him faded. 'Set Fire To The Rain' touched on his life too closely, speaking of the years he'd spent on Basil. How it had been forever to him until he realized those feelings had never been returned the entire time. He sat looking down at the keyboard of his laptop as Adele sang of a broken heart that so closely matched his own, even now months later.

Jack was really a rather nice man. The nicer he was, the more Marek wanted to be around him. So polite and considerate. Not wanting to interfere with his studies. Such a thing was just... so nice. "I would like tom but..." he bit his lower lip and ducked his head. "I don't have a slave yet, father is looking for one for me. Until he does I've promised to not have no visitors that he or my brothers haven't approved of." He looked down at his hands in his lap, wrestling with the right words to say in order to explain.

"Someone once hurt me, and tried to continue to do so. So they're a little protective of me, I guess. They're Reigners and I'm the only Acquiescent among my siblings, so..." he gave a little shrug, afraid to look up and see any indication that Jack thought he was too much trouble to deal with now.

Jack frowned slightly at the sight of the lowered head. He nodded slightly as Marek explained. "I'm sorry to hear that that happened to you but it is completely understandable that they would be protective of you. Are you able to visit others? I do have a piano that is gathering dust, or perhaps I could meet them?" Jack paused, realizing how absurd all of this sounded. "I fear I am overstepping. I simply don't want you to not be able to spend time with me if you wish to, because of that. I apologize if that is out of line."

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."
