[jacob w.c.]

WHAT A PRIVILEGE IT IS TO LOVE — Jacob smiled instinctively as someone approached him, though he had no idea who they were. He was used to unfamiliar people greeting him by name at these sorts of things, sometimes recognizing him from stories his father had told or from a meeting he'd attended when he was younger. This person, though, didn't seem to know who he was, and he had no idea who they were either. Still, it'd be rude to ignore them and they seemed nice enough. At their comment, he let out a soft laugh and shrugged, glancing around him. "Well, 've always had ta' come ta' 'em n' I don' feel like 'm any better really, 'specially after bein' gone so long. My dad sees these kinda things as places ta' do business n' get ta' know everyone but I was always jus' kinda' dragged along. I dunno' even know why I get invited at this point," he answered, allowing his eyes to wander before they landed on the refreshment table. "At least they've always got good food, right?" he asked with a light chuckle before pausing, his eyes widening slightly before he spoke again, "Oh! 'M sorry, I didn' introduce myself. M' name's Jacob." He didn't bother with the last names anymore. He'd gotten so used to leaving them off when he was away. They always brought him more trouble, anyway. While they might be powerful, he was pretty sure no one particularly liked them and it was just better to keep everything quiet anyway. He didn't want his school kicking him out for mafia or gang affiliations or something, after all, given he wasn't even a part of it. " [color=#2954d0]—A GREAT HONOR TO HOLD YOU UP
