JACK
"Better off askin' the Maverick if there are more people'n usual comin' through that bonfire of his," Jack mutters off-handedly. "If people are tryin' to smuggle mageglass they'd wanna take the quickest route away from Halo, I'd reckon." Whilst The Crag might border Caido's coldest region, it's probably just as quick to cut across to The Climb and the existing portal there; Halo isn't exactly known for its tolerance for crooked behaviour, after all.
As for the matter of pirate ships and the possibility of something worse taking their place, Jack can only give a shrug. "I ain't gonna say it's not possible, but if anythin' there should be a rise in shit like robberies on land, secret trade routes through the Oerwoud, shit like that." Pirates don't disappear when chased away from their ships, they just start pirating on the shorelines, in his experience. "But I guess if this is somethin' even your hulk of a father can't track down, might be that a few of the worst have banded together over it."
And now they're cutting out the Blackfox too, which is probably the most dangerous idea of all.
Her Thieves' Cant being passable is good enough for Jack, the Captain scoffing at the reminder of the new chicken scratchings in the Fingers. "Bastardised versions of it," he says. "I'll tighten it back up." And in the meantime, look at that - an open line of communication.
