JACK
"At no point did I say I was gonna leave you anywhere, love," Jack replies smoothly, watching her lift the bottle of rum to take another smooth pull from it. It's like watching something ethereal come to life when she moves, and he finds himself with his eyes on her more often than not, and quite without realising it. "Just mentioned that the Spillwave was the nearest sea, if we wanted to touch down in the waves."
What Vesper is playing at is something Jack feels like he half understands, but at the same time not something he can do for the boy. He seems content enough in the Greatwood, it's true, but neither have his ambitions made themselves apparent in the forest. Aimless. There's that word again, and maybe it applies to Vesper and Jack both.
"She's been able to string sentences together for five minutes an' already I'm bein' put to work," he quips, his expression begging for a smile, but he only grants a wry raise of his eyebrows instead. "I do though, in fact. They've been buzzin' about tryin' to hear you or catch a glimpse long before I even flipped the coin."
Straightening up from the desk, Jack brushes by her to approach his cabin door, unlocking it swiftly and holding it open for her. "They ain't gonna know where to look," he warns. "And I don't blame 'em, either."
