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.

Colin nodded thoughtfully. "So you're pretty good with them, then?" he asked. He assumed so if the guy was offered a proper job.

It was interesting that he quit doing something he was so enthusiastic about though. There had to be more to it. Was it rude to pry? Probably. Was he going to do it anyway? Probably.

Hit wizard to teacher? That was an interesting jump. "So dragons to being a hit wizard to... the quiet homeschool life?" Yeah, apparently he was just going to jump right out and ask about it. "Seems like a pretty... big life change.

Casual comment. Not too prying. That was socially fine.
