ackson nodded at the man, and gave the Owl guy a nod in return as he left. That just left him, the receptionist, and the girl. Jackson just stood there hands in his pocketd, looking,around trying to think if something to say, anything at all.But he couldn't, this was the first time he'd ever spoken to a girl around his age and he didn't know what he should do know. And why did she have to be pretty, even with all the grime on her it was obvious. 

'Dammit, I can't do this, I'm heading back to my room.' Jackson decided, causing Kuro to add his two cents.

'You're kidding me right? Jacky-boy, she's smoking hot and your just going to just runaway with out a word. Say something, you've got to leave some kind of impression!'

'Fine, get off my back about, geez. Why aren't you this passionate about anything other than girls.'

'Hey, don't get snippy with me, I'm just tryonh to help you man. You've got to build up a resilience to girls, man. You can't just fall apart like this.'

Jackson, deciding to actually listen to Kuro on social matters  this time, cleared his throat slightly. "Excuse me, I'm not feeling that well, so I'll see you around, I guess, Uhm, bye." Jackson just walked away after that, a light blush on his face as blood rushed to his head. "That was not my best intro was it?" Jackson asked Kuro in a low whisper, only to be met with silence. 'Wonderful.'

Jackson was intercepted, however, by a strange woman ho was claiming to help him with his powers. The alarm bells were ringing in his head from the get-go, and the minute she said the word test, Jackson gave her a chilling glare hat was filled with a deep dark hatred, and behind it was pain, suffering, and further still, a dark insanity that seemed on the cusp of being unleashed. He'd been having people "help" him with his powers all of his life, and because of that he would treat every adult that approached him with a healthy deal of suspicion and mistrust, and the only tests he had ever know were filled with nothing but pain.

 "What training? Nobody told me anything about this and what can you possibly "help" me with. I mean no disrespect, but as far as I know, it's not exactly a common ability." A slight amount of sarcasm was present in his voice, courtesy of Kuro's influence, s was a cold harshness that Jackson rarely ever used. Speaking of, Kuro was staying silent in Jackson's subconscious, but he was poised to switch with Jackson and slip out of here if things went south. "Give me a reason I should trust you, Ms. Cer, then I'll think about this. . . schedule thing. What is a schedule?" Jackson asked the last part hesitantly, not trusting this woman to give him a straight answer, but to curious not to try.
