JACK
Midnight in Rae's Fingers, as it happens, is also a lesson in good business practices. Want something especially hidden, perhaps even from yourself to give plausible deniability? Walk the howling tunnels in the dark and try your luck. If you manage to make it out again, odds are good that no one - not even you - will find what you've buried.
That isn't what Jack's here for, coincidentally, but he has come across a cache of very interesting goods on his travels. His lantern had been burning quite merrily up until a few moments ago, when a rogue gale from the tunnel at his back had blown it out before he'd considered mustering his air magic to keep it at bay. And so, dropping to a knee on the damp stone, he tries using steel and flint to spark it back to life; one of these days, he thinks, fire magic might actually come in handy.
Especially as the flint seems to stop cooperating. Hissing a near silent curse under his breath, Jack shifts to reach for his matchbook instead. Around him, he draws the air close and still and quiet so as to not disturb the tiny flame he brings to life. With his face ghoulishly illuminated, the captain guides the match into the lantern to give him something to see by once again.
