Jaki glanced at Epicurus as Roland suggested that he bring his "girl who he was dating with him. She wondered what Roland's reaction would be should he realise that in fact the girlfriend in question was the Empress. Jaki wished nothing but happiness for her brother, and she hoped to all the Gods that this would not end badly for him. Still, he was a sensible man, and she had no doubt that he would do what was right. So, she sat and listened to the two men talking.
Jaki Vampyler was not in any way a woman who was comfortable with being in the background because she was a woman. She despised nothing more than being underestimated because of her sex. But she was also quite happy within her own skin. Jaki had no wish to push herself into a conversation, and she knew that she had a lot to say to Epic, but that it would wait. So she dropped the conversation regarding his new love and listened to the two men talking. As Epicurus said that he was going back once more to the fight, Jaki smiled slightly. That had always been what Epic was best at, that was for sure, but frankly, whether he would be able to and pursue his relationship with the Empress was something that she was not sure of.
So, she sat and quietly sipped her drink, listening to the two men talking. At this moment she had nothing to say, so she did not speak. However, she was quite obviously paying attention and following the conversation closely.
