Tessa just smiled at that. "So is mine." Inaki had offered to come with her, but having a little red fox hanging out by your feet while you watched the fireworks was a dead giveaway as to her supernatural nature. And let's face it - it was lame to go with your familiar as your only companion. In Tessa's mind, it was better to go alone for a change, she'd find someone to talk to. Like Jace here. "What level are you?" she asked, mostly curious.
"Interesting, that's a good word for it." Jace liked to lay it on thick, and Tessa wasn't sure how she felt about that yet. For now she'd just accept the compliment and let it pass. Lots of things irritated the crap out of Tessa, just depended on the day. Jace should be grateful he hadn't met her yesterday. "I've lived here most of my life," she said. "I help my brother with his business in town."
