Jesse managed a small smile as Alex said it was nice to meet her and she gave him a nod before apologizing yet again. "Nice to meet you too, and sorry again for the spill." At least he didn't seem upset or too out of sorts, or was at least a talented enough actor to seem it. Either way, this miniature crisis of the morning was handled.
"Hm? Oh, no kids. Just went to bed late and then woke up early," Jesse blinked as she tried to think of how best to put it since she couldn't just say she had to expel some random magic. "Sinus headaches. You know, when it just builds and you almost want to stab yourself to release the pressure? Anyway, I got that taken care of but by the time it was gone I couldn't go back to sleep. Figured I'd go hunting for watches at a thrift store, try to do something productive."
She took another long sip of her coffee as she let her brain get a bit more warmed up. Home and housework... wasn't it Monday? A quick glance at her phone confirmed that. "Day off or just a stay at home dad?" If he thought she had kids, maybe he had some himself.
