Walking over to Melanie he grinned. "Havin' a good time? Thirsty?" He asked as he held up the Butterbeer offering her it. Jack had no idea when she had come, for all he knew she was here before him.
This decision was made for her, though, since Jack was the one to approach Melanie. Her blue eyes widened in surprise as she noticed the grin that was plastered across Jack's face and immediately sent off an order to her brain to provide a plausible explanation for his behavior. This was probably the reason the 21-year-old just stood there for a few seconds sort of staring at Jack even though her eyes had slightly lost their focus, while she tried to figure out what he was thinking at the moment. Without much success, though.
After another moment of awkward silence Melanie shook her head causing her long blonde hair to fly through the air and then her eyes finally refocused on Jack's face and she realized exactly what she'd been staring at the last few minutes. A little reddish teint appeared in her cheeks as she quickly cleared her throat before saying,
"Oh, I'm sorry, Jack...but what?!" Then her blue eyes fell on the drink in his hands and a small smile crept across her lips as she guessed what his question must have been.
"Yes, of course, thank you." Trying hard to keep them from falling back into the awkward silence she'd just caused Melanie tried her best to keep their little chat up and so she asked the first question that came to her mind,
"So, are they together now?" She nodded at Armen and Oceana. Yes, very great topic, but whatever.

Looking up at Blaze she said "Would you excuse me for a moment. I have to go over and greet one of my former employees."Not letting the man answer Angelica glided over the room to where Melanie was standing quite uneasy about the situation, it seemed. Giving the other woman a welcoming smile she said "Melanie, you came! Welcome to the magical transportations first ever christmas party. Doesn't the breakroom look fantastic?"
Turning her head at a quite familiar voice Melanie was glad to have someone else to talk to, someone to distract her, someone to provide her with a little more time to figure out what Jack was thinking right now.
"Angelica!" She greeted her cheerfully.
"Thank you. It's so nice to see you. Oh, yes it really does look fantastic. Who organized this awesome party?" Then after a short pause Melanie half-turned back towards Jack to face them both as she added,
"Oh, and it was very nice of you to invite me. I was very surprised to find an invitation on my counter."
