Re: Great Gatsby: Jude/Clem/Shane/Graham
Skittish was a look Jude was getting used to. He inspired it regularly these days, although rarely without intention. He assumed the man was always this way, or naturally due to the trauma he went through. It never occurred to him Graham was there to take Clementine with him. She said she wanted Graham to visit, and she seemed very happy there, seemingly glad to have her things again and a nice place to sleep. Ah blissful ignorance and trust. That was one of the many human things he would have to stamp out eventually.
Jude was impeccably polite so he reached over to get the water pitcher and pour a glass for Graham. It was still a little cool too, even with the start of a warm day. "I went by the area in the hotel that stashed some belongings. Clementine asked me to check for any of her belongings, and thankfully, they were there." That seemed to make her very happy. Since he transferred over with everything he could want, it was a surprise to find it there. "You might want to do the same, if you hadn't thought of it yet."
He noted the stiffness when Graham sat, but didn't comment on it, he seemed a man who preferred not to make his weaknesses known. It was surprising to him that this was the man Clementine was so taken with. Was it just because he was a connection to her sister? He was certainly not her usual type.
