JACK
"From one troublemaker to another, I'm sure you'll agree that calm is just somethin' that passes by every now an' then," Jack says, scoffing under his breath and leaning down to tighten the laces of his boots now that he's free of the quicksand moss. "Sure fuckin' seems that way. Maybe I was better off tryin' to figure this out at the Boondocks," he agrees, eyeing the moss and stepping pointedly around it.
Unable to help but laugh at the term - prolific assassins - Jack raises his eyebrows at Theea. "Ain't that I disbelieve you," he quips (because he doesn't, and he can read the truth plain in her thoughts), "but I'd imagine bein' well-known was detrimental to assassinatin' people." What with the general public's preference for being alive and all.
Wrinkling his nose at the suggestion he try again with the new magic, Jack grunts and nevertheless tugs at that newborn part of himself once more. In response, the hedgerows peel back and rock erupts in sharp points around their roots, dragged forth from the deep earth. It's clumsy and unrefined and exactly the sort of thing he might expect from a new ability. "Wow," the captain mutters, "hate that."
