There isn't room in the snug for two elephants in the room, but if there were, his relationship with Vrenille would be it. They're talking, even friendly, but it is t what it was. He's come to the realisation it may never be, but he's not spoken those words out loud. He's not about to here, either. It's not the right place for it.
Jacob, for his sins, does take a drink. He doesn't drink nuch when he works- he shouldn't drink at all but that's easier said than done. But he doesn't drain it, just sips it and let's the burn warm him through as he considers the answer to her question.
"I can make it work in my favour. I have an in with the SIN Guards, a useful contact. That's very helpful in my... lines of business." He leaves some things unsaid. Again, it's best not to say things too plainly, even here. "Besides, they all think you're head over heels for me. I've not dissuaded anyone of that notion."
He knows she isn't, but some of the patrons that have seen her come by like to laugh about what she needs from him to come all the way down here. Let then think that, if it keeps them from getting in her way.
