"Dang, nice set up." She nods, listening carefully before smiling. "I got some boxes in my car, so yeah - I'll probably wind up bringing those in." She chuckles, shrugging.
"Thanks for letting me move in with barely a warning - I hadn't realized I'd need to move until I got the news, a big surprise and all that jazz y'know?"

"Heh, well I will admit, your sudden appearance was a big surprise..." Jack answered back, then smirked a little and added, "...but a good kind of surprise, just for the record."

At the mention of bringing her boxes inside, he asked, "I can help move them in for you, if you like... may I?"

It seemed like an elaborate ploy for something devious, so he made the offer cautiously...

"Oh, gosh you are a livesaver right now. I would honestly love the help." Cassie sighs in exaggerated relief, trying to be funny. "In all seriousness, the help is appreciated. Just no looking in my clothing, yeah? Honor and chivalry, and all that business." She starts walking out, laughing a bit.
"It's not much - clothing, some personal objects, and my computer gear. I move light."

Jack smirked a little as he emptied her trunk and started hauling a couple of boxes inside. As he walked with her, he said, "Heh, I gotta say, I like your attitude... you're a far cry from the last person I was living with, so maybe this could turn out pretty exciting..."

Once he brought her stuff inside, he decided to ask, "So what exactly do you do for a living, Cassie?"

She had about six boxes, but it was unsurprising since she had said she was a light mover. Cassie shrugs at the question, going back to that easygoing smile. "I plan on setting up shop around here to be a - no laughing now - freelance journalist. I'm currently running a 'blog' that, thankfully, helps bring in income. Hence the computer equipment, she's my baby. Not too shabby, if I say so myself. What about you, Jack? What do you do for a living?"

A freelance journalist? Well, that was an interesting line of work.... of course, Jack wouldn't say it aloud.

At her question, Jack only scratched the back of his head and replied, "Oh, it's nothing too special really. I'm currently studying to be a private investigator, a detective of sorts. It's a bit challenging, but it's something I've always wanted to do with my time...."

After setting the last of her boxes down, he added, "Admittedly, I've barely been getting by between my studies and my job... so having you here makes a big difference..."

"Oh, a detective eh~? You'll have to slip me some info from time to time. After all, aren't our jobs supposed to play nice with each other?" Chuckling, she grins.
"Hey, I'll be sure to try and help out - and if you need help, I have connections. My dad is a cop, so if you need any big cases or whatnot lemme know."

Jack smiled softly and replied, "I appreciate it, Cassie... thanks."

He had to admit, she seemed friendly at first glance, and it was almost enough for him to relax his guard... but that big red 10 was a harsh reminder of what he was potentially dealing with. Still keeping his guard up, he said, "I'll be in my room looking up potential cases. Let me know if you need anything, okay?"
