VESPER
Vesper listens as Nova’s resolve firms, the idea of uprooting the Sunbeam and chasing him north sparking bright and stubborn in her thoughts. He nods once, slow and thoughtful, acknowledging the shape of it without immediately agreeing, shadows breathing quietly at his heels. Means you get to spend more time with Jack while I’m gone, he sends lightly, the thought carrying a faint curl of amusement as his brows lift. When her plan sharpens—Greatwood instead, together—his mouth quirks into a grin, eyes warming despite himself. Or, he counters, playful but sincere, you make it so successful in King’s End folks’ll be dyin’ for another one, and then you put one wherever you damn well please. He bumps her shoulder gently with his own. We’re always together, he adds more softly, the certainty of it steady and unshakeable. Distance don’t change that.
When Nova steps into him, arms wrapping tight despite barely reaching, Vesper doesn’t hesitate. He folds around her easily, a warm, instinctive embrace reserved for just sisters, chin tipping just enough to rest against her hair. Her fears press close through the bond, quiet but insistent, and Vesper breathes them in without flinching. He shakes his head once, small but resolute. I ain’t ever puttin’ myself in this position again, he tells her honestly, the promise carrying weight. I learned my lesson.
He pulls back just enough to look down at her, expression gentled, the tired edges smoothed away for her sake. "It’s just you an’ Caly for me," he says aloud this time, voice low and certain, before tugging her back into his chest again, holding her there as long as she needs.

And I'm going down, where the waves will surround
to the roar and the pound, Of the wild wild sea
Talking sweet to me
to the roar and the pound, Of the wild wild sea
Talking sweet to me
