Jett’s eyebrows lifted a bit as he kept his lips pressed together. He didn’t smile, he was trying to be serious. Rhona would definitely want to get in on it, she was very invested in keeping her friends safe.
Although, Jett wasn’t quite sure she had the tact that would work best in this situation, and the last thing he wanted her or Liam to have to deal with was extra stress with a prissy family who thought they could solve all their problems with money and threats.
As amusing as Rhona might have been going feral on them, practically speaking, it wasn’t going to be the most responsible way to handle the situation.
“You’ve got my number, don’t be shy. I’ll get things set up and contact you so we can get this sorted. I’ll clear my schedule a bit to make sure we can get this handled quickly. You’ve got enough else to deal with, you don’t need them on top of it.”
He glanced around the room and then nodded, as if he’d made up his mind. “I can go get started now. You going to be okay from here on?”

"I'll keep that in mind." Though he wasn't shy so much as not being good with being social. He'd tried to keep to himself in school so no one knew, so his secret was kept, he hadn't wanted people to know he was an orphane. Some knew but it had been contained asmuch as possible. It meant social skills were not his thing. He'd kept to those he'd grown up and lived with really.
"Thanks...and I'll keep in touch, let me know when you need me for things." He'd make sure he turned up, Rhona would make sure he was free to handle this situation. She wouldn't keep him from being able to deal with something so important, she treated him well, he knew she cared for the dark mirror court.
Taking a deep breath he nodded slowly. "I think I'm slowly getting used to the abuse from them...it's still a lot to deal with at the time...but getting past each one is getting easier and quicker." Which he was certain wasn't a good thing, it was likely some bad sign or something. But he wasn't so tense and he wasn't as worked up as he had been before, during the confrontation. He didn't feel his heart racing and his emotions spiking either. "Let me know what goes on today if you do start on things." He'd appreciate it, all of it.
What would have happened if he'd never found the dark mirror court, if he'd never been found, and this happened when he'd been on his own? Once he'd aged out he'd have still lived there and helped out....so who would have helped him then? He didn't think he could handle it so easily then - he might have run. To keep the orphanage safe from his family he might have run and tried to hide somewhere, anywhere, in the city or flee the city enteirly. He didn't like thinking such things but he knew it was likely true.
"Thanks, and don't worry too much right now. If anything happens after you leave I'll text."

Jett nodded and seemed to be mulling over something, but he’d made up his mind in a matter of seconds and must not have thought it important enough to voice out loud.
“All right. I’ll text you later.” He clearly intended to get started on things as soon as he could. It just wasn’t in his blood to let something happen to the Court, or anyone in it. Especially if he had the power to help in any way.
“Be safe.” Jett gave him a look, like he meant it. “Don’t hesitate to contact me if anything seems weird. If it’s important, I’ll make time to handle it, all right?”
Rhetorical as it was, he didn’t wait for Liam to answer once he was certain that the offer had sunk in. He raised his hand briefly–a gesture of parting. “I’ll let you know where we’re at in a few hours.”
He’d taken enough of Liam’s time already, and now that he had a task at hand he was serious about following through. He gave him one last nod before he turned towards the door and made his way out.

"I will...I'll do my best." He couldn't promise to be safe, not with everything going on in his life, but he would do his best. He rather liked being safe and healthy, who didn't? But it wasn't a promise he could keep, not since powering up for the first time. He'd once been safe, though not well off, in the orphanage but that had all changed one night. He was ok with that; really he was.
"Ok, I'll keep that in mind." Nodding his head, to himself as Jett was already leaving. He didn't want to bother the other, especially if it was something little, but he'd do what Jett asked knowing the other seemed to not mind and even encouraged it. He just hoped he didn't need to bother the other. But with his family being as they were he wasn't so sure about things; he didn't trust them.
As the door behind Jett closed, leaving him on his own, he felt himself smiling. So this was what it felt liek to have family? To have someone protect and even deffend you? It was a nice feeling...one he hadn't experienced until the dark mirror. He liked it and he had been getting used to it as time went on. His family wasn't going to like what happened next, he was certain of it, but too bad. They had earned this and he wasn't going to let them ruin the life he'd been slowly piecing together for himself, he liked his currant life right now.
Smiling a bit more he headed back to work.(Thank you Kyu and a finish here. We should do follow up rp's. ::Nods:: )
