One victory under his belt--something he was proud of--being stamped on by being called a waste of time? Whether Minerva meant it that way or not, the trainee's button had been ever so gently pressed. The easy smile Jack wore lost some of its warmth as he desummoned his weapon; Owain's cheering and mental back patting went mostly ignored. "Blind fury, huh?"

I'd like a second date sometime soon~" And with a lazy wave, the giant turned to amble off and recharge, pondering the uses of actually pursuing someone like Minerva when it was clear he would probably just do his thing an alienate her.

Then again, that was becoming so quickly his go-to hobby that he should probably just embrace it already.
