Dawn leaned in toward Jason when he whispered to her. "I'll make sure to ask for her as a waitress then," Dawn said with a smile. Wow, she'd only been here for a few minutes and she was already having fun! Of course, it helped that Jason all but jumped on her the minute she came inside. Not that she minded. A cute guy coming over and talking to her? Oh yeah, she was all about that!

She shook her head when he asked if she was hungry. "Not right now, actually." Well, not for food, anyway, but for social interaction. If she said that out loud, though, it would sound WAY dirtier than she actually intended it. She just missed talking and flirting and all the things that you could do when you were normal!

"No! Well, my older sister is a *little* overprotective, but not like in a crazy way, just in a sibling way." Buffy was just able and willing to beat up on guys who she didn't like or she thought weren't good enough for her little sister. She smiled at him again. She couldn't tell him the real reason that she hadn't been able to go out, which was because she had been cursed and turned into a giantess, and then briefly a centaur. Stupid exes!

"I got a little overloaded with school and junk and couldn't go out for a while," she lied smoothly. Well, she had been overloaded and overwhelmed, just not with school. "I'm cutting back on that, though. I'm wanting to go out and have fun while I'm still young, you know?" She took another sip of her beer.

Jason nodded when Dawn said she wasn't hungry, as he went through the mental list of manners he had in his head. He always seemed to forget something, but luckily, people never seemed to mind too much. Except for the people that just plain hated him no matter what he said or did, anyway.

He laughed, a little relieved to hear Dawn's family was only overprotective in the standard ways. "Just checking, 'cuz you never know around here, and I'm definitely with you all the way with that other stuff. No one's young forever. My poor buddy Hoyt'd be locked up right now if his momma had anything to say about it."

Just then, a mental light went off in his head, as if he had totally forgotten all about Hoyt, who'd he relieved of both his beer, and his pleasure of his company, without much more of a second glance. He figured introducing Dawn to the town, or at least the current population in attendance at Merlotte's, which was a good portion of it, was also something on that little list.

"Actually, that's Hoyt right there," Jason didn't hesitate to turn and point him out, still sitting at the table he had abandoned him at, "Wanna go join him? I'll introduce ya."

If Dawn had known that he was going through a mental checklist of manners, she would have cracked up. So far he had been fairly normal and about what she expected from any regular guy. Semi polite and possibly trying to get into her pants. Of course, she was so starved for attention right now that she just did not care. Of course, he was cute and charming, so that helped a lot, too.

"Wow, really?" she asked about Hoyt. "My sister would probably try that, too, you know, if I wouldn't just escape out the window and make fun of her for trying." Of course, Buffy had done plenty of sneaking out growing up, but most of it was for the 'saving people' variety. Not all of it, and she had snuck Angel in plenty of times to make out, but some of it had gone for a good cause.

She took a sip of her beer as she looked over at Hoyt. "Sure, let's go join him then," she said, smiling at him. She was good to meet all sorts of people here at this point. Heck, she was ready to throw a giant party and invite everyone in the tri-state area at the moment, although Buffy would probably get pissed if she invited just that many people over to the house.

Or she might join the party. It was hard to tell that kind of stuff when Buffy was concerned.
