JACK
Fuuuuuuuuuuck.
Jack wasn't a clumsy person by nature. (Or an easy going one. Or a kind one. Or... yeah, you get the picture). And yet, accidents did happen. Accidents like taking something from the inside pocket of one's waistcoat, dragging one's compass out along with it, and sending it slinking off into the ocean along the side of the docks.
Crouching down along the edge of the boardwalk and glaring into the water, Jack was somewhat elated to find that the object hadn't fallen far. What's more, there was a definitely-not-exactly-fish shaped figure swimming around there, and the thoughts he picked up from the range of his telepathy were clear: shiny.
Knowing better than to shout into the water and expect her to hear him, Jack did the next best reasonable thing.
He tossed a stone into the water as well. Not at her, exactly. Just near enough to get attention (probably).
