[ Jeff watches the exchange with a somewhat bemused expression, surprised to see Mr. Waltz being warm and friendly with another person. Well. With another person besides JJ (apple of Cameron's eye, and star of Jeff's work-related nightmares). But when the owner turns his attention to Jeff, he shakes the man's hand, his own smile open and genuine. It looks like he may be more at ease with Karim than Cameron.
Because Karim doesn't scare the shit out of him. ]
Oh, this is cozy. [ That's his agreeable (and slightly cautious) remark as they're ushered to their table, with the tapestries granting a sense of privacy, where he's not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Mainly because he doesn't know if his problem student's father is going to rip into him now that they're shielded by tapestries or what. ] Thanks, Karim. [ ANOTHER SMILE. This time with a nervous undercurrent, as if to say "If he starts yelling... please send for help."
Except, when he leaves... Cam continues to be perfectly... nice. Jeff lifts his brows, as if he'd been waiting for a shoe to drop that still hangs over his head or... you know, you can supply the metaphor yourself, he's not an English teacher. ]
Is it... something you'd recommend?
[ Because hell, he's not paying for dinner, so he's in that weird boat of "shit, what can I order that won't make me look like I'm a greedy freeloader." ]
