Got a head full of spiders & a heart that isn't here
Vesper rolls his eyes, the motion exaggerated enough to hide the faint crack of something else beneath it. "Probably got himself in a bind, wouldn’t open his mouth to call for help, and got killed ‘cause of it," he says, tone flat but not without an undercurrent of frustration.
When Jack comments on the flask, though, the faint grin returns. Vesper arches his brows and nods toward him. "Bet she’d make you one too, especially if you said pretty please." The smirk that follows is all sharp amusement, knowing full well how likely that is to happen.
He pushes his chair back and stands, grunting his agreement to Jack’s plan. Snatching up the bottle, he drops a few crumpled bills onto the table and turns toward the door. As the bartender’s broom flails uselessly at the mud, Vesper lets his shadows surge forward in one clean sweep, dark and forceful, shoving the half-solid creature back out into the rain. The thing splatters against the threshold with a wet slap, leaving streaks behind as it goes.
He steps over the mess with a grimace, careful not to let any of it cling to his boots lest it think that meant the demigod had adopted it, before following Jack out into the damp evening and the wash of salt air beyond.
