[ still sitting in the booth by himself, he notes the girls coming in, overhearing what they said as archie follows them. as soon as the redhead does, however, jughead makes sure he's looking at his laptop, not wanting to give anything away. it might look like he's glaring at it, and in a way, he is. the last thing he's ever wanted is to make one of his good friends feel as though they're forced into anything they might not want, and he's pretty sure archie doesn't want to be married to him. looking down at the simple gold band on his finger, he scowls. if anyone should be married to him, it should be betty. betty is the one he loves, after all. and as much as he cares about archie, he's never imagined himself married to him, much less anything else.
( earlier proposition aside, that had been him being pragmatic, but now that veronica's here, he doesn't have to worry about archie hooking up with a stranger. )
eventually, though, he does look up, even if the scowl on his lips has yet to fade. this whole place irritates him, from the excessive wealth and waste to the way people are thrown in the arena to fight for some sickos who want to get their kicks. it's why he's been working on a tell-all about the world, hoping he can get it out so people can fight it like he is. but more importantly... he needs help, and he's glad to see his three other friends willing to fight like he is. ]
Veronica was just extolling the virtues of our foursome. Come on over, guys. We've got a lot to discuss.
