JACK
"Sure is," Jack drawls, smirk mostly hidden beneath his scarf as he watches Nova posed like an ice skater for an almost impressive length of time before moving on. Weird, indeed. But then they're both distracted by the Eye of Fire, and the captain is walking slowly around the bowl, as if to take it in from every angle like it might offer up a secret he's not privy to just yet.
Eventually, though, he finds nothing, standing opposite Nova on the other side of the bowl and gazing through the flames at her. "I don't reckon it will," he says. Ruin her outfit, he means. "An' it's dealer's choice, today. Show me what you got." What she's learned, how she's improved. Every time they do this it feels as though she's climbed another rung of magical prowess, and Jack has a feeling this will be no different.
