"Thank you for your hospitality," Jett said, sitting down across from her and placing his crutches neatly on the floor to one side of his chair. "I don't believe that we've been formally introduced, but I'm Jeretty Prince," he said with a smile. "Most people just call me Jett, but you're welcome to your pick."
"Here you are, Mr. Prince," Tom said through his toothless grin as he set a plate with Jett's order on it before the younger man.
"Thank you very much, Tom," Jett said graciously. When the barkeeper had left, Jett turned his attention back to Nikita and said, salting his breakfast, "You seem very distracted."
