JACK
Opting not to think of the man, the myth, the legend in the making he might be becoming, if only because he bets it'll be due to petty drama rather than anything he'd be proud of, Jack scoffs and inclines his head towards Theea. "Sounds like good parentin'," he says. "Not that I'd have any fuckin clue." Not as a parent himself and not as a child, either, but that's not a subject he delves into with many people - if any, any more.

A garden on The Ark has Jack pausing where he's been reaching for the pack of cigarettes in his pocket, and he blinks at her openly, unsure whether it's the most clever or stupid idea he's ever heard. "An' where would it go?" he settles on in the end.

It's not often that anyone is quite so bold as to ask directly what magic you got, then, and Jack is startled into a scoff of laughter. Telepathy aside, though, he shrugs and takes a step back. "Storm in a bottle, pretty much," he says - and as he reaches for the smokes, the wind around them kicks up into a howling gale, flecked with ice and rain and the unmistakeable stench of ozone in the air, threatening sparks of lightning. "Ain't all it's cracked up to be. But it ain't half bad either," he says.
