Got a head full of spiders & a heart that isn't here
Vesper’s head tilts, a sharp line of amusement flickering through his expression before it cools into something flatter. The look he levels across the table is all pale light and quiet reproach, and when he speaks his tone carries a little more salt than he intends. "That your experience with absence and hearts, then?" The question lands softly enough, but it carries a bite beneath the smoothness, something brittle around the edges that he hides behind another sip of rum. Far as he could tell, absence hadn't made Jack's heart anything but harder, unless he'd missed some grand gesture his old man had pulled for Torchline's queen since moving East.
He lets the silence breathe between them for a moment, the flicker of candlelight painting gold across the rim of his glass. Then he exhales through his nose, the tension easing into a low hum of resignation. "Might be that you do," he murmurs, shoulders lifting in a half-shrug as his gaze drifts toward the tavern’s warped windows. "Other’n a little corner of town that caters more to my interests, there’s fuck all to do around here it seems."
