[SE] come on in, here's your key

there exists a tipping point between gods and monsters

The Ark sails over the Wildwood, heavy under the company of rainclouds, and as the first bad downpour hits, Jack makes the executive decision to pause their journey into the Sidhe Village under the pretense of being fucking blinded by fog and rainfall. No sailor, no matter how seasoned or talented or telepathic, stands a chance against rogue treetops they can't see coming.

Taking full advantage of the way the ground will offer some cover from the inclement weather, some of the crew - her captain included - opt to head down from the ship for a bit. For Jack it's a mix of curiosity and itchy feet; if Vesper is serious about lifting and shifting his entire life over here permanently, and has invited the Captain along for the ride, he feels as though it's only right to look at the Greatwood through fresh eyes.

No longer the birthplace of a lover but a prospective business venture, as he departs from Murphy and the others to walk a nearby trail - a muddy as fuck, miserable, wet nearby trail - he's doing his damndest not to instantly dismiss the place as a lost cause. King's End, after all, had been transformed into a swamp over the past season, so it stands to reason that the Greatwood isn't always this shitty.

Probably.
