JACK
"Mm, you should though," Jack says, almost under his breath as they begin walking again, the captain shoving his hands in his pockets. "Even if it's just for an hour, or even a minute. Learn to shut it all out - just so you know how, if nothin' else. Else that headache you got is gonna be part of your life." Jack has never been able to shut it off entirely - never been brave enough to try - and in his decades of walking through life with that sort of magic, he's often rendered without any defence at all against the tide of thought.
Smirking as conversation turns to Colt - because gods, he knew it would be about her mind before anything else - Jack listens quietly, his footsteps careful on the dirt path as they head out and away from even the glowing lanterns, towards where he knows the Ark is lazily moored in the skies overhead. "Sounds nice," he mutters. "Flora's was like walkin' through this huge garden. Pockets of peace an' joy an' then the wildest shit around the corner. Took some navigatin', but worth it." It's the first - perhaps the only - time he's spoken about the Doubletake's mind with someone else, Jack inhaling deeply and letting it out again.
"Don't fuck it up if you like it," he concludes, glancing over his shoulder as well and tilting his head as Vesper speaks of pocket dimensions and napping. "You'd go that far?" He scoffs. "I guess if you're still learnin' to live with it all, makes sense. Tonight all I can give you is a locked door though, so don't go expectin' miracles."
