Jax could always find something to do. Whether or not it was something he ought to be doing was another thing. He could very rarely be still, and that was okay with him. He'd get his exercise that way, or so he told himself. When he wasn't at the greenhouse working or with Nick, he made the rounds. "Oh... just seeing what's here, I guess," he said when Jake wanted to know why he was in here.
He was aware that he didn't seem to be Jake's favorite person, and he wasn't sure if that was because there was something about him the guy didn't like or if it was just the fact that he was dating Nick. Seeing Nick? He had to wonder if dating was even a thing anymore, given the circumstances. Not like he could take her anywhere, but they had to call it something.
Usually, what Jax did was pretend he wasn't aware that he seemed to set Jake's nerves on edge. That tactic had worked for him before with other people, at least. "So you're gonna cut the grass and stuff?" he asked idly.
