JACK
see me falling
yeah, down and lonely
yeah, down and lonely
"Oh? I s'pose I shouldn't be surprised that you managed to search an' rescue me, then," Jack mutters, blinking a few times as Lyra sits back at last, as if to let his mind and body recalibrate to this new state of pain now that he's had a chance to come around a bit. "Far be it for me to stop your searchin', though." Already grabbing for a low-hanging branch to lever himself to his feet, Jack gets himself upright without passing out or throwing up, which he takes as a win.
Waiting until he's certain he can hold himself under his own muster, the Captain rolls his shoulders and peers out into the downpour back in the direction he'd been walking. "I'll leave you to your rescues an' be on my way." His tone brokers no room for argument, whether Lyra has one or not, Jack already picking his way out of the undergrowth and back onto the Oerwoud trail.
"...Thanks," he adds belatedly, glancing over his shoulder at her, before the jungle swallows him up once more.
