Well she recognized Jake. Plus...the foot clearly didn't have any intentions of stomping on her legs. It was a good foot.
"That would be me. Melanie Lockhart." she replied, popping up into a standing position from her spot across from the tapestry. "And your Jake." Yep. Just to clarify. "I'm perfectly good. Only, a little bored..."
Right, a little.
On to the more pressing topics though. "Why are you talking like that?" she asked curiously, titling her head to the side slightly. Maybe he'd picked up some funky accent or something... Perhaps it was a new trend and she should be talking like that to...
Or mayyyyybe her hearing was just going funny. They were all good possibility's, in Melanie's opinion.
"I am," Jake nodded, smiling at the girl and lowering his foot again, because Melanie's feet had, of course, moved. He watched her and listened to the answer to his question, shoving both hands into his pockets.
But then...
...
Then the question.
"Tuh-tuh-tuh-talking like wwwwwhat?" Jake asked, feeling slightly self-concsious of his stammer!slur and deciding to play it off.
