Drafting the future

[Jensen James]

((Ooc: So I had this long beautiful post a few days ago with all these great insights into Jessika and I lost it just before going to post because the computer shut itself down before I had saved the file. There were all these insights like how she smiled tightly even when she was offended that he turned away and spoke to a painting instead of her. She was only being nice to him because he's potentially useful to her, but even if it turned out he wouldn't be, she'd be no less amiable and warm because that's the kind of good southern lady she is. And she doesn't consider herself a real politician, just a woman doing God's work. And on and on. I wish I could recreat it. unfortunately, all I managed to recreate was the following pitiful paragraph: JJ))




"I have no opinion of you, sir, as I know very little about you. You see, I follow very little of what happens in Mexico City - cartels rise and fall all the time - and you're no different than any of the other men who sought to unite power behind one name.

"You're not democratically elected, yet clearly one of the most powerful people in Mexico. It's even stranger given you're not Mexican; do you even speak Spanish?

"It reminds me of high school history when we studied the early consolidation of Russian assets behind Nikolai Brandon. To be honest, I don't care much of what happens in Mexico except how it affects Texas. Do you intend to do to North America what he did to Europe?"
