"So what do you do now?" It obviously had nothing to do with dragons. And he was curious. Depending on the job, maybe Colin would find an excuse to show this guy the dragons. Could be fun.

Especially if he kept getting overexcited and then embarrassed by it. It was kind of endearing.

Jake nodded ~~impressively~~. "Yep. Back in the day." Of course, he'd only just turned 30, so... back in the day was only really about ten years ago. "Interned there for a while, got some qualifications. Then went back to volunteer from time to time. Offered a proper job but..." He grinned and shrugged. It was difficult to not end up sounding like he was bragging, considering he knew this other guy did actual proper work with dragons and all, but luckily his enthusiasm about the topic helped to mask it. Though he still tried to... mask that, somehwat.

As for now... uh, well. Less exciting stuff, actually. "I... well, I was a Hit Wizard 'til recently, actually," starting with that might make the rest of it sound a little less, um... boring, to some people. "But I quit to go back to university. Trying to get my teaching licence. To homeschool, all that fun stuff." It was a weird journey and a long story as to how he'd made that decision but it suddenly occurred to Jake that this was more information than the guy wanted or needed to know anyway. He paused for a moment, clicked his tongue, and then... "I miss the dragons, though. Easiest thing since I left school by far. I love 'em."

Was that... obvious? It was probably obvious. But worth saying again. Ahem.

He was talking a lot. Okay. Chill, Jake. Chill. Be chill. Do you have sunglasses? No? Well... try to look chill without them.
