Got a head full of spiders & a heart that isn't here
Vesper shrugs, setting the glasses down with a soft clink as the rum catches the light. "Left at the start of the season," he says, lowering himself into the chair across from Jack. "Told her I’d be gone awhile. She wanted me t’stay, but..." A sigh slips past his teeth, one shoulder lifting, then falling. "If I go back now it'd look like I did it for her and I'd probably in a worse spot with it all than when I left." The words taste like salt and smoke, irritation masking something quieter underneath.
He leans back, the chair creaking faintly beneath him as he adjusts, head angling to one side. The small exhale that follows could be mistaken for fatigue, but it’s really concentration; pulling his mind in tight, closing out the noise that hums along the edges of the room. When he looks back to Jack, the focus is sharper, steadier.
Jack’s mention of the festival draws a flicker of surprise through Vesper’s pale eyes. "Didn’t figure you for the festival goin type." He pushes one of the glasses across the table and wraps his own fingers around the other, the shadow of a smirk ghosting over his mouth. "What's it like?"
