JACK
"It isn't nonsense," Jack sasses her under his breath, though there's the smallest hint of a smile playing across his face as he speaks. "Mm, they wouldn't have come for anyone else though," he says honestly. Perhaps they'd have come for another Accepted, given how Channelling worked, but they'd never have stayed. That was all Flora.
He does wince as her thoughts become tainted with violet hues, but it's a very personal sort of backing away; he doesn't want to be reminded of the past half a day either, not yet. And so, sending a pulse of water magic her way to suspend the droplets as they trickle across her scalp and soak into her hair, Jack heaves a deep sigh and nods.
"It really fuckin' did," he agrees, the words almost grated out, his brows deeply furrowed. "Ain't ever been quite so close to lookin' death in the eye, either. Not for a long time." And it has left its marks on both of them, based on the way Jack raises his eyebrows at Flora. "You're staying?" A question? A plea? "I was gonna pass out for a while, to be honest."
