JACK
They'd made their grand tour of the Greatwood-from-above, and Jack finally brings them down to dock at the Observatory. From there the Captain leaves Caly and Nova to their own devices, whether that's to explore the Sidhe Village, to go hunting for their brother or to be otherwise somewhere - anywhere - that Jack isn't. That last bit is the most important to him, and with the sun having not long set, he drifts down to the forest floor to let mind and body settle after the flight.
Fireflies wend through the air between stalls and gather beneath lanterns, a flurry of them scattering as the Captain walks close by. His footsteps take him from hard-packed dirt and onto the hollow thrum of wooden boards, and chooses a tavern overlooking the gentle lapping of the Stone Symphony. Built over two storeys, Jack settles beneath an awning just outside on the main floor, a haze of smoke partially obscuring him from view from the cigarette he lights and a glass of something pale and amber in a glass before him. Honey liquor, or some other fae delicacy, he thinks.
From there it's just the Captain and the dozens of minds that come and go in his vicinity, and whilst it might not appear relaxing to many, it's curiously grounding for Jack.
