"My fortune is inaccessible from this city, I don't intend on having children, and I'm pretty sure any soul I had left me a while ago." He returns the teasing comment easily, both as a means of easily adapting to the tone set in front of him and putting the ball back in Jack's court.
Lex is no stranger to exchanging favors and this opportunity is certainly one that he doesn't want to pass up. For as much as he wants to climb up the social ladder in the city, there is no way he is going to turn over complete trust in Jack. A certain amount of caution however, could afford to be sacrificed. Life was nothing without risk after all.
"So. How do I go about staking my claim in one of these places, friend?" Jack wasn't finished fulfilling his end of the deal. If Lex was going to be owing anybody any favors he was damn sure going to squeeze out all he could of the agreement.
