Re: Great Gatsby: Jude/Clem/Shane/Graham
Jude glanced up when he heard footsteps, and for a moment there was an uneasy air about him. Not from him, but these days he had a way of unsettling people when they came close to him. An undercurrent of danger, maybe, of something being slightly off. Still, he learned a bit about control over the past few days, so he dampened it down around certain others. He stood when the man approached, and game him a quick once over. As he expected. What in the world was Clementine thinking?
Manners was what he knew best, and while there were times he hated the idea of this man, it was easier now that Clementine was alive and free of the door. And he was sincere when he thanked Graham for keeping her alive, since it became very clear how difficult that was when he saw her injuries. Now Graham's too, he could see how battered he was. His pain radiated, and Jude's other side enjoyed the sight of it. Pain and strife were delicious to Famine.
He shook the hand firmly, careful not to take anything back when their skin touched. He was a handsome man, polished and elegant, and his accent was crisp and upper class British. "And you must be Graham, good to meet you at last." His eyes were a dark gray, very different from his natural green, but those days were gone. He glanced over to the butler. "Please let my sister know her friend is here." He gestured to the table. "Take a seat. Would you like any coffee or something to eat?"
