Jesse smiled, the truth was, he didn't actually have very many friends either. Just the guys who he worked with, but he wouldn't even have a drink with some of the lowlifes that worked here.
"I used to think that all y'all singers and performers had the good life and a working stiff like me was getting the low end of the deal. But ya know, we got time to make friends, to establish something with someone, an all y'all are too busy learnin your craft to realize your lonely."
He turned his head from Christian "But then there's a lull in all of that and that's when you realize it huh? That's when all this work seems like fer nothin..." he was talking from experience.

“You’ve got it perfectly.” He said, sounding impressed.
“It’s funny, I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say that out loud.”
*He glanced at Jesse, some humor creeping into his voice*
“Then again, I hadn’t met you until now.”

"That we didn't meet until now?"
*He shyly ducked his head*
"I mean...um...people speaking plainly."

"It's strange that we haven't--we both work here, when you think about it."

"Well I imagine it's cause we're both working all the time, me trying to get those cow wranglers downstairs to actually get some work done and you, well," Jesse grinned "you making that wonderful music."

"What you do is appreciated, you know. I know people probably take it for granted, but I thought you should know...I notice."

"You're welcome."
He was smiling. He hadn't just sat down had a friendly, non-complicated conversation with someone in...well, what felt like a long time.*

*Normally, Christian avoided alcohol as much as possible. But the chance to meet up with what could be a new friend again...*
"Oh...I don't drink much, but I wouldn't mind meeting somewhere."
