Jack perked up at hearing someone else sitting down at his table and returned Monica's smile once he pulled himself away from his toast in front of him. He knew her as one of the emergency workers and someone who seemed more likely to be alone than around him or anyone else for that matter. It didn't bother him so much because his sister fit the bill well generally no wanting to be bothered and left to her art, but there was a small chance it was for the same reason. "Yeah, that's me good to see you Monica. Hows morning treating you?" He said genuinely happy to talk with someone he knew less about. After all you could learn quite a bit about someone by talking but it was also good to do just for entertainment value at least for him.

Jack did find that listening to everyone was maybe a bit of a hobby though it was just passing and there was always a nugget here or there to lock away for later. Its not like he couldn't just use his power for finding out things most people wouldn't say otherwise but really he liked to keep his power on the down low. Given its effects people could start looking at him wrong really easy and it was something he hoped to avoid if possible here more than he did outside.

He said stating the obvious but figuring it might get a different response from Monica more so than most of the others.
