JACK
Jack almost has to do a doubletake (and no, he's not thinking about the other connotations of that word right now, before you ask) when Rae lays out the components and the necessary tasks to make something that has seemed all too ambiguous suddenly very, very real. It's not that it's difficult or surprising - no, quite the opposite in fact. It all seems very simple.
"Oh," he says, furrowing his brow and giving a slow nod, as if waiting for the rest of the quest to drop. Perhaps for someone with a much stronger moral compass, the gravity of the situation might have been more apparent. But this isn't the first time Jack has killed, or even killed for a quest. And so, when the deity offers nothing further, he nods again more firmly, and even dares to allow the ghost of a smile.
"Then I'd better get to work," he says. "Thank you."
Once Rae has vanished, Jack turns to leave the shrine, and it's as he's stepping away that he notices the cluster of plants, the fragrance in the air. Knowing little about flora other than their potential value, he reaches out to snag them before he departs - who knows, maybe they'll be worth something later.
