JACK
Stiffening further at the sound of an answering voice, it's only as he realises it's Flora though the haze around his mind that the captain relaxes perhaps a small fraction. He's already setting the knife down as she opens the door and ambles inside, a bucket in tow, and even without his ailing magic he can take a wild guess and say it's from the fountain. "I didn't know it was you," he says, the apology low and honest, his throat still raw from whatever disgusting fumes he'd inhaled in the aftermath of the explosion.
"I'll live," he tells her, because it's true, and a fleeting glance over her through eyes that are somewhat glassy shows him that the same is true for her. "You got to the fountain?" he asks anyway - see above for malfunctioning magic - and totters the few steps back towards his bunk, slouching down onto the edge of it. "You didn't have to do that," he tells her of the bucket of fountain water. "But I appreciate it."
