JACK
Even without that innate link to one another that their magic usually provides, Jack recognises the thoughtful notes of respect in Vesper's voice and expression. And though he doesn't draw attention to it, it's nevertheless appreciated. Treating The Ark with kid-gloves, per say, isn't going to earn anyone her favour, but understanding what she is and the history that rides along in her wake is a damned good place to start. And so with the matter settled, he lets his attention drop back into the Bodega, the crowds, and Vesper's impending return to King's End.
Pretending not to notice the tightening in his jaw or the pointed tap of his glass against the table, Jack merely offers the boy a quick, decisive nod. "King's End is gettin' a healin' river," he adds, as if just remembering as much. "An' we took a jaunt back to Torchline. Might be more frequent visitors movin' forward - y'know, in case the wind blows you in that direction."
