JACK
"Developin' a sense of humour too, I see," Jack scoffs, though it's true that the two of them are wearing far more layers than they'd normally need - a new normal for the captain, and one he's trying not to balk at. Watching with partial amusement as Vesper fights to get his footing on the slick ice beneath his feet, he can't help but snort at the Marins' idea of cozy when it comes to Kaisel Ashborn. "I ain't sure what the fuck he thought it was gonna be like if I'm honest." Rare words, from a telepath.
Either way, Jack reckons he probably thinks he's struck fucking gold right now, and perhaps it's that sullen distraction that has him noticing Vesper's new and nightmarish power far too late. Gritting his teeth as all three tendrils hit home - and his coat is useless against the assault - the tang of blood fills the air as it appears in jagged rosettes in the captain's shirt and stains his lips as he coughs.
He doesn't speak, but his mind briefly flares, all stormfire and surprise - what the fuck - and his own magic lashes back instinctively, mageglass glinting at his fingers and on his wrist. The lightning he calls bursts out of him towards Vesper, the air humming with it, snowflakes crackling with static.
