"Jumpy? He called me jumpy?" The fact that it bothered her was strange. She quickly moved on from the question so that she was able to shove it to the back of her mind, all the while trying to appear nonchalant. "I don't know who Mata Hari is, but I've got the sneaking suspicion it's insulting. But, I hope your friend Dr. Crane isn't as... incorrigible as he is." The sheer amount of time Jackson apparently spent discussing her with other people in threads she couldn't see was a terrifying thought. She really needed to get with Maggie and learn some basic hacking skills.
"I don't really keep in touch with any of the people I met in college. I'm not the same person I was when I graduated." Two years ago, she might have said differently, but it became easy to alienate people when your personality was completely rewritten. "People change and grow, you can't hold onto the past forever." Maybe it was advice she should take. Maybe it was advice she should give Jackson. Another pointed drink from her wine glass followed this train of thought - a longer one, this time. She needed it.
