JACK
"You'll get there." It's not said with the warm fuzzies of fatherly advice to his son, but Jack sounds quietly confident nonetheless. "I was the same for a long time, waitin' for someone to realise I knew more'n I let on. But people are usually so buried in their own heads, they don't notice someone else is watchin'. You're already more careful'n I was when I was your age."
Smirking, Jack straightens up from the tree and stretches. "An' I still do that too, when it gets overwhelmin'. Better to say nothin' if that happens," he says. He doesn't feel the need to remark on the advantages of their shared gift, though; they both know it's a helluva thing to have in your back pocket, even with its difficulties. "I did," he says, patting the jar.
"I'll be back towards Leafchange if not before. Reckon I'm near ready to up sticks an' move here, unless you suddenly decide you hate the place." Offering a brief nod to Vesper, Jack doesn't linger after that; he raises his fingers to the compass inked onto his wrist, and is gone a moment later.
