Jaques caught most of what Vaughn had just been saying as he returned from the kitchen, taking note of the obvious shift in mood and Vaughn's flushed cheeks. In one hand he carried four glasses, stacked upside down. The other was a clear glass pitcher with two, slightly glowing water cores spinning in the bottom to keep the water cold. He sets the glasses down and pulls the top one from the stack, pouring himself a glass. He sets the pitcher down next to the glasses and takes a seat next to Vaughn. Taking a drink he allows their guests a moment to respond to whatever conversation he'd just walked back into.
