The spectacle that was Hurricane Feferi was briefly forgotten in the wake of Dirk and Jake's exchange. She recalled she and Jake's earlier conversation, and put several pieces together in quick succession. Jake liked her, but he liked Dirk too. He had admitted as much when she confessed to him. Dirk knew about her feelings for Jake. He'd admitted he had known about these feelings long before she had told him. He was a good bro. And as she looked to Dirk's flustered expression and his attitude, Jane began to realize something very, very important that she had neglected to notice in her own foolish feelings.
... He liked Jake too.
"Oh, shit." she murmured beneath her breath, shoulders sagging a bit as her eyes flicked between the two men. Her gaze fixed to Jake then, their warm, blue depths revealing her slight disappointment though her smile stayed light enough. He liked Feferi too; she could tell as much. Perhaps it wasn't a full out crush yet, but knowing Jake she wouldn't be surprised if it got there soon enough. Jane wasn't sure what she'd been expecting to glean from telling Jake that she liked him, and him liking her right back, but to be honest it hadn't been this. Quickly, she was beginning to realize that well... Jake liked everyone. She'd just been too wrapped up in herself to see that.
Giving a little sigh, she straightened, deciding that there was no use moping about something she could not change. This was a meeting about their powers, after all; not a place to discuss feelings. Her lips hardened into a firm line, and she rolled back her shoulders, happy to change the subject. Her eyes, determined now, flicked about the park, noting where others had broken off to spar. "Do any of you all wish to spar with me, or should I find another partner?" She said, words a bit more taut than she intended.
Well Shit.
... He liked Jake too.
