“Say darling, where are you from? You have an…. exotic name.”
Jaxon was aware Morgan was trying not to be rude by flat-out calling his name ugly. Respecting his restraint, Jaxon decided to humor the bat's question. Rubbing the back of his head sheepishly (while still involuntarily displaying the same shit-faced grin he should have known Morgan hated so much), he explained himself. "My mother's side of the family are all pure-blooded elves. According to my mother, she chose to spell my name with an X because my father went by "Jack" as his nickname and she didn't want to raise "Jack's son" after he ditched her at the first sign of a positive pregnancy test."
Jaxon made an unspoken point of ignoring the "dumbass" remark thrown his way after his Freudian slip. "I deserved that one. I should have been watching what I was saying," Jaxon thought to himself. He noticed Morgan's interest peaking when he mentioned his ability to mix drinks. With the tip of his claw, the bat tapped the empty space next to him on the bench, practically ordering him to sit down. Not like Jaxon was unwilling to comply anyway, of course.
“I’d like to see those ‘skills’, Mot- Jaxon. Maybe not right now, but tell me, what can you do?” Jaxon chuckled when he heard Morgan's own Freudian slip. Karma's a bitch, ain't she?
Jaxon graciously sat down next to Morgan and as soon as his behind touched the mahogany, he started to rant Morgan's pants off. "Well, when I was studying under my mother's tutelage, she trained me to specialize in two skills: Summoning and Potion Creation," he explained. "For about 5 or 6 years, I've been steadily studying the medicinal properties of ingredients of both the magical and mundane varieties. As part of my training, I'd do most of the cooking in the house, since cooking is a potential application of the Potion Creation skill. Aside from being able to cook a mean curry rice, I've learned how to make healing potions, allergy suppressors, antidotes to about three dozen different types of venom including rattlesnake, Mana Elixirs, and even stamina-boosting energizing potions. I'd have shown you a sample, but all of it went down Alex's gullet back in the carriage." He didn't realize it might have been taboo to mention Alex's name like that at this point until the words had already left his mouth. He decided to continue as if he hadn't noticed his own faux pas. "I've been fascinated with the nutritional and medicinal value of a lot of fruits, but there weren't a lot of fruit-bearing trees at my home in the mountains. Someday, I want to get my hands on one of those "superfruits", like the fabled Dragon Fruit that supposedly works wonders for your immune system. When I do, you'll be the first to taste test the drink. Do you prefer juices or smoothies, by the way?"
Jaxon realized he was running his mouth again, but since he was talking to Morgan and not, say, Alex, he didn't feel as uncomfortable when trying to pick his own words. Either that, or he really didn't care as much for how annoying he looked for the bat, as long as he could lend one of those supersonic bat ears of his.
