"If they think that, they're going by false information," Jax said smugly. "'Cause I didn't do anything that crazy since I've been here. I should come up with something." Taking some of the fluorescent light bars out in the rec room was incredibly tame. Jax was willing to chalk his lack of initiative up to the damn cold; it was ridiculously frigid. Maybe once it warmed up he'd get better at coming up with nefarious plans. He just grinned at her comment that one girl's opinion couldn't deflate him. Maybe she was right, but whatevs. He still thought she was cute.
"Well, you better keep watching," Jax told her. He could learn to drink as well as anyone! It wasn't his fault he hadn't had a cool family that made moonshine, or even a family of heavy drinkers. He hadn't been anywhere near drinking age when the apocalypse had started, so he thought he'd been doing pretty well that he'd even tasted the stuff before. "Yeah, yeah," he said to her grade school comment. "It got my point across." Kind of. He was beginning to feel warm and definitely loopy, so he couldn't have said what his point had even been. Booze was fun!
Jax stole another quick gulp from the bottle and rolled his eyes back at her. "Might be obvious, but what else do you expect me to say? We're alone in a guard tower, drinking, and you ask how we're gonna make it more interesting. I guess I could've pretended to be Sheldon in Big Bang Theory and said we could analyze some physics formula or whatever, but..." He trailed off, smirking at her. Yeah, another thing he missed was new episodes of his favorite TV shows. When she asked for whom making out might be interesting, he snorted laughter. "Well, it should be interesting for both people making out, 'cause if it's not, you're doing it wrong." It hadn't escaped his notice that she hadn't really graced his suggestion with a yes or no, but he wasn't inclined to be pushy. If she didn't want to entertain the idea, fine.
