[ the air isn't tense exactly, but there's something in it that makes archie hang on veronica's every word, glancing between her and jughead, then to betty, wondering if she's going to say something about their future that none of them really needs to hear right now. if jughead will say something to her. is it sad that he's relieved that her attention is on his best friend instead of on him? the guilt that comes to the surface with that thought has him cutting in, if only because he can't leave a friend hanging out to dry. ]
He meant you'd be a shoe-in. You care about more than designer bags and make-up, but you're good at styling. It's an idea to get your foot in the door. [ ...and it had been archie's idea, anyway. the apprehension of what jug will be doing doesn't set in until after betty's brought it to light. he's seen firsthand the kind of risks that jughead is willing to take. granted, he isn't knee-deep in the serpents yet, but some day he will be. that guy's still in there. ] I've seen Veronica in action. She can pull off a reporter. And as much as I want to be nearby, I'm just as likely to do something I'd regret if I thought they were in trouble. So whatever you're doing, Jug, I'm with you.
As long as you know that if something does go down, I'm going after them, no matter who stands in my way. Or how over-powered they are.
