"Fascinatin'," Jack says with the airy interest of a man who really has no idea what it must be like to share thoughts with another person. (And it's not entirely a lie, he supposes - it's one thing to be able to siphon the thoughts and feelings from others, but another thing entirely to have a silent conversation). Swirling the purple in his smoothie as he samples the bursts of colour and starlight from Nova's mind, the captain arches an eyebrow to hear that she's also been to The Climb. Not that he ought to have been surprised.

"Good thing the place where the lilies are found is better'n the rest of the region. Encourages people to visit more often. Maybe you'll get better luck next time." With the rest of The Climb a hostile, burning wasteland (in his very humble opinion), Frey's Breath is a very welcome reprieve.

He falls into an easy silence as they continue along the boardwalk, Jack taking another sip of his smoothie and resisting his smile at the spikes of fury that lance through Nova; he can't, after all, say that he's ever experienced what it's like to not know people's opinion of him. "Well, if you do, you both keep a civil tongue in your heads aboard the ship. And your hands - and magic - out of it. Do what you like on shore, but keep it off The Ark."
