JACK
Jack laughs at that, the sound quiet but genuine, because Vesper getting exasperated at putting himself in a forest full of trees and then growing irritable about it sounds just as about right as Caly and Nova's antics. "Well," he says, lifting his glass in a toast and knocking back the last of the liquor in it, "no one can say you didn't give it a fair try. You been here for what... close to a year?" That sounds about right.
Walking his fingers around the rim of his empty glass and leaving small fractals of ice where his touch skims the sides of it, he shrugs his shoulders in a gesture that seems careless precisely because it isn't. "She would if her ranch burned down. Which it did," he says. "Happened durin' the Longheat wildfires - Sunjata brought up that she'd packed up an' left on a new venture. Caly was there too, she can confirm it if you still reckon it's bullshit."
Looking up at Vesper frankly now, he raises an eyebrow. "Her shadow ain't over King's End no more. Y'know, in case you wanted to see your sisters more often."
