Jason was about to say something rude regarding how it was just so like John Locke to pervert how nice the world was today or something like...and then he decided against it. This was a dinner to earn back Sawyer's good will. He would not earn back the said good will by ranting about useless philosophy of people who had been dead two hundred--three hundred years. Pointless. But he had time to consider a comeback because the the waitress came back with their food. She still gave Jason a weird look though, and Jason resisted the urge to flip her off.

He poked at his salad for a moment. Everyone wanted to be happy; that was a fact of life, except well, it was sort of like hot and cold, darkness and light. If one had never been unhappy, one would never know what happiness was to begin with.

--He was reading too much into this again, wasn't he?

"You're not as idealistic as I thought," he said after a moment, pleasantly surprised. Talking to firmly idealistic people was like taking to a thick brick wall. "We might actually get along after all." (You know, without the blackmail, and Jason randomly catching Sawyer in the act of...fucking men. Right.)

What did he want to be as a kid? For some reason, he found that funnier than it should have ever been and laughed, "Going off of what you just said -- I didn't want much. Wanted a nice big house, a nice wife, lots of money...and here I am. Besides, I don't think I've ever been truly unhappy...so it's okay like this."

Sawyer felt a hint of a smile upturn his lips, when he was said to not be idealistic. At least not as much as Jason thought he was? "Believe it or not... I am very easy to get along with. If you're nice to me," he mused softly. A slight jab, at the other man, for his prior less than savory acts toward him. Yup... oh blackmail how you bite.

The First Son sipped more at his wine. "... When I was really little... like... less than ten... I thought I wanted to be in politics, like my dad," he snorted softly. "Had all these grand ideas about how I'd change the world, make it a happier place for people. But I quickly learned politics is hardly about that. It's about saying the right words, knowing the right people, blackmailing the people you can't win over with your bullshit, and clawing your way to the top," he let out a huff. "It's really more like high school all over again. The different cliques, gossip, and then of course all the promises made and never kept by the various candidates," he shook his head.

"Hm..." he smirked down into his wine. "I don't sound jaded at all do I?" he laughed then. He speared some more of his salad, and bit into the lettuce and veggies. Crunching felt good right then, since all the mention he'd brought up, himself, about politics had him wanting to gnaw on something. A carrot worked wonders in such a situation.

Swallowing, he followed it up with a few more gulps of wine, then his glass was empty. He poured a fresh glass before his gaze went back to the man sitting across from him.

"... How do you feel about pets?" he asked. Might as well go to more innocent questions to keep this whole night very... casual.

Not his fault, Jason didn't go out specifically looking for blackmail in most cases. If the blessings fell upon his lap like a miracle, then he was going to take them as they come. Besides, it wasn't really that much of a big thing (well...that part about the gay escort maybe, but Cheney's daughter had been a lesbian et cetera et cetera. No one ever paid that much attention to lesbians though...maybe women were just more subtle that way.) Before he could please his inner misogynist any longer, Jason turned back to the conversation at hand.

"Hey, I'm suitably penitent and making up for it now, aren't I?" He'd called in all the right favors too. One day, Jason swore he was going to run out of those. The day seemed closer than ever.

"At least your old man is under the illusion that he is doing something good and grand," he said. "Mine's a regular Ebenezer Scrooge." (Jason was genuinely afraid of his old man's tax returns.) "There's nothing wrong with a little delusion now and then."

"No, not jaded at all, just like a normal human being. Cheers to you."

At the second question though, Jason looked surprised, as if he wasn't anticipating such a mundane question. And he wasn't, "I like them okay, I mean, as a kid I kept iguanas and snakes, as much as I like cats I don't have the time for one." (That was an outright lie right there, Jason tended to be more of a dog person, but Sawyer never needed to know that.) "I'm guessing you like them." Since Sawyer had brought it up and since Jason still needed to get more on Sawyer's cat.

Sawyer quirked a brow. Snakes and iguanas? ... Hm... He supposed that was oddly fitting, though in truth he felt the other man was more of a 'dog person'. Though maybe he'd been reading him wrong.

A smile tweaked his lips at the mention of cats. He looked down to his salad and then to his wine glass as he gave a nod. "Yeah, I like em. They're lower maintenance than dogs, and they only like certain people. I suppose you have to work for their affection but once you have it... it's all good," he mused quietly. He smirked then. "Besides, I'm not all that fond of being slobbered over," he chuckled softly. He took another sip of his wine, finishing off another glass. He poured another.

"My pop really has you guys working too hard to have a pet? ... Though I guess the hotel probably wouldn't like it either if you had one huh?" he murmured.

The waitress soon returned, with a pleasant smile and their orders in hand. She laid out the two entrees. "Is there anything else I can get you gentlemen?" she asked. Sawyer looked over his steak. He cut into it, observing the pinkish center, then gave an approving nod. "I'm alright." he informed. The waitress nodded, and soon headed off.

The younger man sliced off a bite sized morsel of the tender steak, and brought it to his lips. He chewed slowly, as a pleased expression came over his face. He closed his eyes to savor the flavor and melt in your mouth texture of the piece of steak. He swallowed shortly.

"Very delicious," he chuckled to himself. Good food was worked well for perking him up. "Sometimes... I wish I could just stay in my room forever, to avoid public eye and all that, but I tell ya... ya can't get food like this in my room," he chuckled then.

Jason looked Sawyer over as he talked. He suddenly realized that the younger man was just endlessly young, and not just trying to be. Everything that came out of Sawyer's mouth seemed so...well, unpolished wasn't the word, that implied a negative connotation, and Jason might mean a lot of things negatively, but this. This he couldn't. And perhaps that was it, the fascination with Sawyer Mckinely hardly stemmed from wanting to slam his old man because the president was your everyday arse, it was perhaps moreso that Jason was jealous of Sawyer himself.

It wasn't something he could explain.

It wasn't even something he'd particularly wanted to explain.

When their steaks came, Jason shook his head at the waitress and she went. He stared at his food for a long moment before cutting into it, meticulously.

"I don't mind slobbering...well, it depends on who's doing the slobbering, I guess." He left that open for interpretation, and moved on. "And cats are also quiet." Dogs weren't, hardly. "And no, not your pops. Just me, being strange."

He watched Sawyer eat, and decided that he was a man who enjoyed his food. Jason's next words, he didn't exactly mean to let slip, but it slipped anyway, "I can get food like this in my room. Hotel life might suit you. Twenty-four hours room service." Probably sounded too much like an invitation.

The President's son glanced up as Jason informed him he didn't mind slobbering... depending on who was doing it that is. It caused the younger man to arch a brow... but he left that subject alone. He didn't exactly want to know about Jason Lansky's sexual pass times. They weren't that close... Weren't close at all technically.

As the attention got brought up to Jason's hotel room and that Sawyer might like living in one, it caused the younger of the two to smile a bit to himself. "Hmm... They'd have to put up with my cat. And I'd probably have to pay off people to keep my identity under wraps," he let out a sigh. "I just hope once my pop is out of office that the news hounds will stop watching the lot of us all that closely. I mean we'll be yesterdays news by then..." he shook his head. "It's kind of disgusting... that America has this sick fetish like interest in 'celebrities' lives. And they then gasp in horror when they happen to fuck up like how any human would. We're not... some sort of strange non human entity..." he mumbled as his eyes flicked back down to his steak.

".. Um... and I'll get down from my soap box now," he chuckled uneasily and let out a sigh. "Didn't mean to go off on you." he mumbled. Though Jason had been... kind of.... amongst those who had wronged him a little. Well he supposed it wasn't like Jason had chased him like the paparazzi. Just had gotten lucky, or in Sawyer's case, unlucky.

He kept his attention more on his food at that point. He couldn't complain too much when there was good steak to be had. "... room service would fix my need for food... then the Internet would make me not be so lonely..." he chuckled a bit. He would definitely die of boredum in his room otherwise without that connection to the outside. His anonymous connection.
