JACK
"I ain't sure my book's got any pages worth takin' these days," Jack says with a scoff, the comment slipping through the haze of hangover and old hurts rubbed raw. If Vesper hadn't tiptoed out of the stars and onto the earth with the same gift he possessed, he'd probably be halfway to marrying the girl and her goats by now, after all.
The Captain's shoulders ease a little further with the arrival of the riverbank, and for a second it's all Jack can do to pause and enjoy the cool heaviness to the air, the way his skin grows damp not from heat and sweat, but from kisses delivered by the water itself. Too soon, it feels, his attention is drawn to the riverbank where Vesper gestures, and he trudges over to remove a small jar from his pockets, leaning down to inspect the mud.
"A quest," he says slowly. "...A strange kind of quest. Your mother put the idea in my head, so I went to Rae to see if it could be done, an' it can. It'll... bring the Ark to life, so far as I can tell."
