Jacks is no stranger to having fruity things at eleven in the morning. Alcoholic drinks, too. Se's sitting at the bar with a rum and coke, smoking a cigarette, and looking definitely more on the boyish end of the multi-ended spectrum.
And, of course, eying the two fruits having fruity drinks. They're both extremely hot. Which means, of course, that se's going to tell the bartender to send over the most ridiculously bright and fruity drinks (with umbrellas) on hir.
Se'll just watch them for a while, see if they decide to look around for the benefactor or just accept the drinks with gusto.
The answer, as it turns out, it "both." Or "one of each." The drinks arrive, along with a suitably non-identifying introduction as to the fact that they came pre-paid. At which point Malek crows something indistinct, and Jack... accepts the drink with a polite thanks and a vague suspicion that it may be poisoned. Not that he'll show that in so many words.
He stalls, picking out the umbrella and glancing around the bar oh-so-subtly, guessing which patron might have decided to send a few drinks their way. It's not as though no one is watching them, which makes it a bit more difficult - but only one person looks like se might be watching them for a reaction, not to wonder what the hell they're doing.
He smiles. Vaguely. Laises the glass just a bit, in a way that could be thanks or, if he's wrong, Hey, there. Watching us much? He's considering the wisdom of taking a drink when he glances back to see that Malek's has already vanished down his gullet.
Jacks is rather amused by Malek's enthusiastic reception, which shows in the way se's grinning. Se nods at Jack when he glances over at hir, and raises her glass in a returning toast. Bottoms up.
The narration both understands and is amused by Jack's suspicion. Jacks just wants to watch him for a moment longer to weigh hir chances if she were to go over and flirt with... well either one of them. Or both. Se's not exactly picky right now.

"...Malek."

He pauses for about a half-second.
"You after yours?"
