Jacob's gaze was drawn to the first woman to approach, who seemed to be looking him over. The husky shifted uncomfortably under her gaze, glancing briefly to his bandages as though he were worried one of them had slipped and he'd revealed his scars. That was the only reason he could think of as to why she'd be looking him over in such a manner. Then she smiled and asked him his name while offering her own. He let out a brief sigh of relief but he found himself looking over her shoulder in search of Pincher. Then his eyes snapped back to the woman before him. Why did he care if the captain was here or not? He'd hear the news eventually anyway and he was sure he could get someone else to hand him the rubber duck and he could have someone else show him the proper way to eat an oreo. Yet Jacob wanted to do all those things himself. This was supposed to be payment for how he'd helped him, after all, so it only made sense for him to wait. He supposed he'd just stick around until the captain eventually showed up. "M' name's Jacob n' I came ta' let ya'll know that Snowbound has decided ta' do a sorta' trial alliance with ya'll. We'll take ya' as an ally for two weeks and then, at the end ah' that time, Leigh's gonna' make a final decision. Ta' help with that, 'm gonna' host an event real soon n' invite ya'll ta' come join us, so long as ya' accept, so that everyone can get ta' know each other a li'l better," he explained before soon adding, "Oh, n' brought these gifts for ya'll ta' enjoy."
When Guru spoke, the frosthealer barely seemed to acknowledge her. His eyes shifted to her when he heard her voice but after that he snapped his attention back to Lilyspoise until he heard a small voice and moved his attention to the little girl that'd arrived. His ears perked slightly and a wide smile spread across his maw. Jacob adored children and he was quick to open the basket, removing the rubber duck that sat on top and setting it beside him before grabbing one of the pesto balls and breaking it into a smaller piece. "Hello! 'S food! I like ta' bake a whole lot. This is jus' some bread with some herbs n' things ta' make it taste real nice but I've got some sweets in there too. I'll let your parents decide how much ah' that they wanna' give ya', though. Ya' can try this if ya' want. Don' eat too much, though, it could make ya' sick," he advised as he held out the bread towards the child.
