[Jeff is definitely far from the best guy for this kinda thing, but he's succeeded in it several times now and in his eyes that's good enough to make bold claims. Confidence is key in his line of business. A lawyer who 'might' and 'thinks' and 'possibly's is a lawyer who won't succeed, especially not when faced with a courtroom full of people looking for the most persuasive, the most believable.
The money talks plenty for the both of them and the second Jesse starts counting it out, Jeff's perking up, straightening in his seat and leaning forward just enough to show his interest.]
Water, airport, Porter, spacious. Got it. I'll see what I can dig up. If you need I can ask around about some kinda protection plan with magic too, y'know, get something set up to keep uninvited guests out or some crap?
[There's absolutely no hesitation in taking that money. This deal had already been sealed long before the notes made an appearance, so he's just going for it before Jesse changes his mind. Money almost makes having a heart attack several times over worth it. Money makes most things worth it.]
[The money's getting rolled up and his hips lift just enough to stuff the wad into his pants pocket. That'll be going straight in his safe once Jesse's gone, but the safe is only accessed when he's alone, away from prying eyes.]
I can get it done within the week, housing market dependent. I'll be in contact about the details and then we can get the ball rolling on this family house of yours. It's gonna be a good one, trust me.
[Jesse makes sort of a pained expression at the term "family house". Honestly, it's more like a guy, his adopted daughter, and the drug-dealing shit heel who's ruining both their lives. But he'll forgo any corrections.]
Good. The sooner, the better.
[That concludes their business for now, so Jesse's heading for the door.]
The moment Jesse's out of that door, Jeff's huffing out a soft noise of annoyance and sullenly getting to work on clearing up the mess made. He'd almost consider all this not worth his effort were it not for the notes sitting heavily in his suit pocket.]

Nah, don't make a lotta noise. I got people for that.
[Or rather, one person in particular.]
Just focus on the house and... whatever you guys do to make sure my name's not on it.

He moves to rise as Jesse heads for the door, on his feet with his drink placed aside for the moment.]
Hey, and next time, just try asking nice. You'll be amazed how far a 'please' will get you.
[Which may or may not be sarcasm, either way, it's his parting comment and he's sticking to it.]
no subject
What can I say? I got a temper.
[Which Jeff would do good to remember. Hand resting casually on the butt of his gun, Jesse slips out the door.]
