Between Jack's frown and question, she figures it's connected somehow. Somehow. She purses her lips a moment, wanting to be helpful but sensing she's missing a lot. So she proceeds with caution. "...well." She blinks slowly. Owlishly. Mirroring her own mother, unknowingly. "They want to do what's right, and good, and have a strong love and sense of family, for two things, I guess." She slowly quirks her head. "I think you'd be able to get to know them for yourself if you tried just being around them, instead of asking me." She tries to sit still, but shifts a little. "That's the best way to get to know someone, after all, wouldn't you agree?"

"I think highly of them," She concludes and then gives a thoughtful hum. She smiles. "It's alright, seeing someone through another person's eyes, but even you agreed it's generally the best way to get to know someone, yourself. I hope you do. I think you'd like them." Nudge.

She seems much more at ease, now. "...uh, so." She came here for a reason, honest. "...I was originally going to ask if I could convince you to teach me more about lock-picking, but, I think you've got enough going on." She gives an understanding smile, not at all upset (just, maybe a smidgen disappointed). Stuff happened.

Jack shrugs. "It would be a nice distraction, either way." And another reason for him not to do the work that's piling up on his desk.
