Jett shrugged at the half-compliment with a slight smile. He pushed ahead and when they arrived at the front doors, he walked inside and blinked to adjust his eyes to the dark, flashing lighting that accompanied. "Ready?" he grinned.

Jett laughed and smirked, "Depends on my mood and how much I drink." He pointed ahead to the place he was taking her, with a bright sign and a lively flow of people moving in and out.

Jett paused and stood on the sidewalk for a moment, debating where to head first. He noticed that the sun had already set and the streetlights were the only source of lighting, so he determined that it was actually already quite late. "Well, we may not have too much time before we'll have to head back, and my favorite dance club slash bar thing is a must," he recommended.

Jett rolled his eyes. "Well, I will admit, I have never successfully murdered anyone," he snickered. As they came even closer to the town, Jett stepped onto a path that had been paved by the locals as a walking trail through the edge of the woods. He followed the path until the end of the trees was in sight, with the bustling nightlife of the small city on the other side.

Jett laughed and glanced at her in amusement. "Oh, yeah? And if I were a serial killer luring you, what do you think my trend in victims would be?" he challenged.
<Snipped quote by Genesis>
Jett nodded. "Yeah, you're right. I'm sure it'll all work itself out." He noticed the streetlights were getting brighter as they neared the town, and he felt excitement begin to flow through him. Since they still had a little farther to go, Jett glanced at Li and asked, "So what brought you to the forest, anyway?"
<Snipped quote by Genesis>
Jett sighed and gazed ahead with dull eyes. "I have no idea where I'm going to go." He blinked at her question, and thought deeply for a moment. When I came to the forest, I was absolutely dreading having to show my face around here again. But now... his thoughts trailed off uncertainly. "I miss this," he said softly. "so there's a part of me that does want to stay. But there's also a part of me that still just feels strange about being here."
<Snipped quote by Genesis>
"Yeah," Jett sighed in agreement. "This isn't quite where I thought I'd find myself standing either." As they walked on, he looked around at the familiar forest and pictured himself sprinting through these trees as a young, eager, Rabin. "If you asked me two and a half years ago where I thought I'd be at 18 years old, I certainly wouldn't have predicted finding myself as an Rabin 'prisoner' with an expiration date on his time allowed in the camp." He smiled slightly. "But at least I'm enjoying myself a lot more these past few days than I have been in a long time."
<Snipped quote by Genesis>
Jett snorted at her jab and smirked. "I suppose I am." He blinked and thought back to his time with the Broms, a part of his life that had begun to fade from his memory. "Yeah, I just kinda remember meeting her and forgetting about all that group stuff. When I left, or got kicked out, I honestly don't remember, it was a relief, and honestly, the Broms didn't care that much. They were just glad that a new pawn existed that they could use to toy with Sacha. They're kind of insane like that," he laughed.
<Snipped quote by Genesis>
Jett shrugged. "I mean, the whole grounding me thing is clearly not for the sake of the Rabins or so she can keep an eye on her prisoners. It's just a personal thing... revenge, punishment, penance, whatever. But I'm sure she'll realize pretty soon how stupid it is." He laughed softly at her last comment as they continued walking. "Well, that would make things easier. But I didn't really choose her, it just happened," he shrugged. He glanced at Li and added hesitantly, "I was a Brom when I met her."
