Jacob is honestly impressed with Lazarus' interest in his personal life. Didn't really strike him as something that the man would be interested in him. Lazarus seems more like one of those kids who sits in the attic all day, reading books, if he had to peg him to something. But, then, Lazarus does have a girlfriend. Guess he's more social than he looks.
"Illness," he said promptly. "She was sick for a long time. I didn't have the ability to understand exactly what she had then, or why she couldn't survive it. I didn't bother to ask later, either. But, thank you. Her memory is one I cherish dearly."
He stares at Lazarus for a long moment, as though giving something a hard thought. He shrugs it off and decides on something else. It's not like he's getting a customer right this second, so he'll talk if Lazarus wants to.
"You like helping people, too, huh? How do you go about yours?" he asks with genuine interest.
