Jake took amusement where he could. He was definitely taking it here, and Nick's reaction simply amused him even further. "Yeah, don't mind me," he agreed good-naturedly. Whatever Ben might think from his initial comment, he would come to find out that it was always girls who returned to the room with Jake. He rarely did more than flirt with a guy, not that he'd admit to even that here in the South.
"But harmless, Nick? Seriously?" he said, pulling a pout just as easily as a grin.
"It is nice to meet you, Ben," he said, having been reminded now of their other roommate's name. "Welcome to our abode, may it serve us well this year. Where'd you transfer in from?" he asked, reclaiming his seat on the couch.
