JACK
The crowd acts as a similar dowsing rod for Jack when it comes to Vesper's approach, though it's less curiosity and more a familiar wide berth given to the tall one with the sour expression, and he's smirking to himself even before the boy's shadow falls across his table. Lifting his glass in return like he'd been waiting for the demigod, Jack takes a sip of the liquor and chases it on a drag from his cigarette, brows furrowing at Vesper's question.
"Didn't realise she was the one causin' it," he says. "Been lucky so far - didn't get screamed at the whole way here." Jack glances sidelong out into the night as if almost expecting to be hassled by the strange phenomenon now to make up for it.
"But no," he continues, "I'm here on business. Gave your sisters a ride too - they needed to go fast an' see a region, or somethin', for a quest." Shrugging, Jack flicks the ash from his smoke and sets it down in the tray between them. "They're prob'ly lookin' for you as we speak." So of course Vesper had run into him instead. "You seem cheerful as ever, by the way."
