Re: Great Gatsby: Jude/Clem/Shane/Graham
Jude watched Clementine, troubled by her behavior, and he knew he was in no way capable of really sorting out how to respond to it. He was a smart man, very reasonable, when his temper wasn't in play. And every passing day he slid away from caring much about anything at all. A part of him was weary with all the pointless troubles of humanity. He didn't feel threatened, because there was no one threatening him, as far as he knew. Or maybe he held an awareness now that his horse would eat the man before he was able to do anything. That would be fun to watch.
But no, no, right, something going on now to focus on. He didn't need invitations in his own home. He did finally choose to get up and follow them into the house, passing by Graham so he could speak with Clementine directly instead. Jude didn't touch her though, not even a reassuring pat, since she didn't seem comfortable with contact. "You can take all the time you need, love. Whatever helps. This house isn't going anywhere." Alexander and Chloe he wasn't going to talk about in front of Graham, since that was none of his business.
His reassurance given to Clementine, dark gray eyes moved to Graham again. He really should just eat him. It would be terribly impolite though. "Can I persuade you to at least let me order a car to take you both back to a door? She isn't up to walking the way, I think."
