Jack huffed, as the vampire immediately attempted to withdraw the threat. Of course, one could not be blamed. His Terebithia was a fearful girl, and he was proud of all of her, including her ability to strike fear into the hearts of man and vampire alike. However, aside from prideful thoughts, there was the matter of dinner at hand. Jack had originally intended to use the dinner as a means to retrieve information fom Mithias as to the more secretive security measures around Magnus, however, now that it turned out that Mithias had not been fooled by Jack's facade, such an attempt would most likely be fruitless. "Hmph. Regardless, the dinner will procede. Whilst there might be no reason to pretend friendships between us, I have plenty of reasons to speak to you, in private. The dinner provides a situation where that is possible." Jack had given up on using deceit and lies, and instead put it out there bluntly, as he would prefer to do everything.
