Jack snorted, lips working upward in amusement. “Will do. Although I highly doubt I will have to worry. These are mere men, after all.” It was a relief to no longer have to battle dreaded monstrosities from the Void, even if violence came to them in other forms. A human army was a piece of cake in comparison. There would be no war today, but the field would be awash with blood. He’d make sure of that. “I’ll be fine. You just worry about yourself.”

He ran through everything that had happened between them in recent weeks. Had he done something wrong? He could not recall. Just the other day they had been laughing over drinks. They had been friends for years upon years, had fought and bled together in a war they barely won. And now this? It didn’t make any sense. 

“How can you expect me to forgive you? After what you did to me, what you let that monster do to me?!” Tears were streaming down his face even as a weak fireball ignited in his hand. His heart was wasn’t in it, but it was hurting. His anger and pain ruled, demanding that he take vengeance. He stepped forward, bringing his flaming fist around, aiming to make purchase upon the young king’s face. “I hate you!”

“Your majesty.. ‘Tis a pleasure to finally make  your acquaintance.”

“I’m sorry, Will. This is all my fault.”

no i think there's definitely, definitely an element of that. his hair isn't curly these days but it is wavy. it's just that the grease and whatever he uses to slick it back keep it very flat. i'm thinking he probably doesn't wash his hair as often as he should, too, so it's kind of trained to go flat now. it's always sort of rigid because it doesn't get washed much. if he actually took a really thorough bath and let his hair dry naturally, it would be wavy.

"Can I have a hint?"

"Traitor," he hissed, withdrawing as far as his cell would allow. "Get out! Get out, get out, get out!"
