Had he really been all vampire-silent as he approached? He supposed he had been since he hadn't put any effort into making noise as he did love startling people. But if her gaze hadn't been glued to her phone, perhaps he would have been visually spotted if not heard. He also enjoyed a lot of the technological advances made over the centuries but they almost took away the joy of a good hunt with how distracted the prey had become. Oh well. Jesse was currently only humouring his curiosity, not satiating his hunger, though a quick appraising look of her showed she could hit a few hunger spots.
He grinned at her just asking about the money and then glancing around. Was she new at this whole sneaking around for shady deals? He really knew how to pick his associates. At least he refrained from laughing at the slip up. It really didn't matter to him. They could have met over dinner or at the mall and no one would have noticed their interaction if he didn't want them to. But then Jesse was gesturing toward where he left Karl. Gavin sighed and nodded, "you would think he'd be better at staying out of sight after all this time. He's adorable though, isn't he?" Gavin gave Karl a little finger wave and then turned back to Jesse.
"Anyway, of course I brought payment. Do you accept Visa? Mastercard?" He was teasing her as he pulled out his wallet before sliding it back in his pocket and going for the envelope of bills and casually setting it between them. He didn't sense anyone around still but sometimes discretion was fun--even if it was a little obvious they were exchanging goods. "Have you considered doing wire payments? Paypal? Venmo? You could even get a down payment that way." Was he going to have to give her business advice? It wouldn't be the first time. Maybe he should do one of those online courses. Something about sharing skills? He’d ask Karl to look into it for him later.
