Covered in water and bits of centipede, Jack was lucky in a way. Yes, it had been aimed almost squarely at him in comparison to the others, but with Saiden and Eloise pulling it all away with water magic and telekinesis, he was left mostly dry and unaccosted by the creatures. "Well, it'll pass any inspection so long as they don't look close," he said of the repair work with a nod to Saiden and the Torchers that had come to join them.

"Don't work too hard," he called after the cook as he left for the Hanged Man. As for Jack, he was already turning to walk back towards the docks. What Eloise did was her problem.
