Meetings weren't exactly Jasper's forte to begin with, so the fact that there had been alligators to deal with before coming here didn't exactly help, either. Sure, they were absolutely no match for a nearly indestructible vampire, and there were quite a few of them in an alley somewhere who would wish they'd dealt with someone else if they had the capability (which they didn't), but still. It left Jasper feeling significantly more ruffled than usual, his hair in a bit of disarray and attempting to smooth out his clothes. And, while he'd sustained on alligator blood before when doing battles in Florida, it was hardly appetizing when mutated, so it left him a little petulant and cranky, which he was trying to fix, so it didn't influence those around him. Maybe if anyone else seemed in a particularly good mood and was swayed by them...
