JACK
"Hey," Jack says a touch sharply, pausing in the doorway so he might snag his arm around her waist as she moves to walk through it, drawing her flush against his side. "I didn't mean it like that. Your nightmares bother me because of how they make you feel, not because of how they affect me." Though his blue eyes are tired, they still simmer with cold fire and a determination that promises blood and retribution for The Family and every ounce of pain they've caused Flora.
"And I was thinkin' more that I ought to hone the skills I've got beyond magic. I've gotten too reliant on it - Pierce only proved that." Releasing her to lead her up to the deck where, yes, they'll find Seven sunning herself and snoozing, Jack rolls his shoulders and takes a deep breath. Lightning and ice and gales were all well and good if he could use them, and apparently that won't always be the case. "Let me check in on everythin', and we'll head out," he says.
