Jake perked up at the mention of a better opponent. There would be a better opponent for him that Dirk knew? The man grew excited at the prospect, but he quickly realized Dirk never said who the combatant would be. Which meant it would be a surprise for Jake.

He HATED surprises. One surprise birthday celebration turned bad due to his fight or flight response usually resulting in fight had ruined surprises for him entirely. So the man turned to his new friend.

"Who is it, Dirk? I'm quite curious to know now." Before the other could answer the question, just as a side question, Jake addressed both Jane and Dirk. "Also, have you two decided on what to order? I can go get those put in for us." To punctuate his comment, the man's stomach let out a loud growl in hunger.
