Well, yeah. If his beam was one hell of a beam, Jackie's was probably two or three hells of a beam. That didn't stop Jackie from shrugging off the deflection of his compliment, grabbing a drink for herself, and sitting down next to her cooler. Talk about working up a thirst, this girl was nearly dying from pulling off that last beam. Some of the marks around her body almost seemed like sunburns, from where she had lifted fire from her aura a few times and pulled plasma from her life energies.
"Don't sell yourself short. I am good, you know."
Jackie scoffs and downs some of the water, wiping away stray trails that splash onto her face as she messily drinks. She wasn't trying to sound condescending.
"Neither of us were pushing it to our max, but I also wasn't holding back my true base. Anyone who can manage that and still give me burns is good in my book."
Humble before anything, her eyes perk up at the mention of Hazel and Maggie. She only vaguely has heard of one. She tilts her head up at him as he seems to check a few things. Scouter sunglasses, nice. Her phone could use an upgrade, at some point... Things to consider.
"Your family, I take it?"
She asks before downing her drink again, cleaning an entire bottle in two gulps before smashing it in her hand and throwing the little back into her box. Jackie wasn't one to pollute.
"Well, shoot, I won't tell either. Not with that A+ rating ya give me. Not sure how well you're gonna look just walking back with torn-up dress pants and shirt though."
She points it out both verbally and with a finger, gesturing up and down with an index before grabbing yet another bottle. This time pairing it with a rag to pat down some of her sweat. She's careful not to touch up her body too much, as sunburns to her were just like they would be to any other. Eliciting a hiss when she accidentally brushes upon one.
