"Wouldn't be surprised if he was. He oughta compensate you more, if that's the case." An attempt at some humor, something that Jasper still was trying to understand. "You do good work though." He flicked his cigarette again, knocking the ash down onto the ground. —

"Must be a breath of fresh air with the newer ones having some kind of experience under their belts." He flicked the end of his cigarette to get the burnt ash off of it, taking another drag soon after. "Augmentations do change a lot very quickly. —

"If anyone could whip someone into shape, it'd be you. But it's good to know the newcomers are gonna be worth their salt." There was a small huff he made through his nose, amused. "I haven't met any of them yet, but I ought to. Though it sounds like they remember you fondly, if I had to guess."

"Can't blame you there, if I didn't start in 49, I would have started after that." He inhales deeply and holds his breath for a few seconds, counting up to four in his head before exhaling through his nose. "Just kinda ended up picking it out out of curiosity. —

Sounds good to him either way Jasper opens the carton of cigarettes and offers it over towards the other Alpha. "Looks like I'm not the only one here with a habit. How'd you start?"

"Gotcha, anyone look like they fit the role yet?" He nodded and shoved the lighter he had back into his pocket, along with his box of cigs. It'd been ages since he last saw Jun. Never in his mind did he ever think the man would resign to operating on this level. Everyone's full of surprises. —

"Go for it. I've got a light too if you need it." He plucked a cigarette from his carton, handing it over to Emile along with the lighter he still had is his hand. "Keeping you busy, that's good. Which group is it you've got next? I've heard some of em can be a handful."

His gaze moved over to meet with Emile, a brow raising inquisitively at the other Alpha. Is this his way is asking to bum off of him?

He's got plenty. Does he need a light too?

Lighting up a cigarette. Old habits sure do die hard.
