JACK
The Ark is almost too much as Jack leans against the rail. The pull of the ocean, the way she's everywhere as well as standing solid beside him, the brimming excitement and expectation of all that the world might hold; it almost feels like running a hand along a sunburn to his telepathy, and he has to steady himself on an inhale that nearly echoes her own, adjusting the parameters of his magic to stave off the ache of it.
"Safety first," he drawls his agreement, inclining his head in an easy nod and drawing away from the rail again. "I will," he says. "Just a sec." And then he's off across the deck, steps sure and easy on the boards even as his crew begin lowering ladders and rolling out barrels of beer and bottles of liquor. Undoubtedly The Ark will be able to track his every movement, from step to corridor to cabin and back again, and when he returns it's with the pale, pearlescent manta crystal firmly encased within a strip of leather to keep it snug against the throat.
"This ain't what I had in mind for the first piece of jewellery I was gonna give you," he admits, drawing back up behind her to sweep her hair over one shoulder and fasten the crystal in place. "But it's useful, I'll give you that."
