[Training] there's coke in the midas touch

JACK

Jack will never say it, and it will never show on his face, but as Vesper's last attempt to dodge seems to go entirely awry, the boy might notice (if he's not too busy trying not to be buried by bones or slashed to ribbons) that both sets of icicles completely pause in their trajectory. Like an open, frozen maw, the captain holds them at bay to give him room to catch his breath and to stand. And once he's established that Vesper is only slightly stabbed, he lets the ice melt away completely into water that sinks greedily into the dust and the sand.

"It's enough to know you learned somethin'," he assures him, baring his teeth in a grin and shrugging his shoulders, before gesturing towards The Ark still hovering at his back - and yes, if Vesper looks, he'll be able to see no small number of the crew peeping over to surreptitiously (not) watch. "Want a ride back to Haulani?"
