[He looks a bit reluctant to be addressing the seal at this moment, expression somewhat contrite and a faint flush of discontent across his pale face. His speech is incredibly labored, pausing often to make embarrassed and frustrated little humming sounds, his tongue tripping over the words.]

[this thought voice is methodical, a recitation from his own notes, thought-spoken aloud rather devoid of emotion...from the start.

A large ballofthunder, which looks like a bird ( Read more... )

( Because Jack apparently refuses to make use of his key or accept that he's supposed to live in a house of his own like any normal person, he's been wandering around Splendor and in select Districts, choosing hidden spots and corners to spend the night whenever he brings himself to fall asleep.
