[ He's glad that Cam just... lets himself giggle, instead of trying to mask it in a rumbling chuckle. It's cute and unexpected, which is about what can be said about everything so far tonight.
Before tonight, he would've written Cam off as somebody who was handsome in that sort of look, but never touch way. Good looking, yeah, but with a personality that would've never meshed with his own. The kind of guy he wouldn't even bother thinking about in that way, because Jeff couldn't imagine anything vulnerable about him. (And without vulnerability, what's the point, even in fantasies?)
He's glad to see the person behind all that. The little smiles, the laughter, the blushing, all coming from that polished exterior. And the giggle's infectious, anyway. Soon enough, Jeff's doing it, too, until he stops himself by focusing on the contents of his wineglass for a beat, and taking a sip.
Okay. The case of the giggles has passed. Now he can eat some more of that bread without worrying about choking. ]
Now that's a friend in a high place. [ He smiles, though it's somewhat rueful. ] Thanks. But parent troubles are just part of the job. [ Especially when you're, you know, a known dark magic user and all. His expression brightens though, smile reaching his eyes again. ] Though you're the first one I ever agreed to see outside of work.
