JACK
And what do you know - the goddess fucking appears.
It's not that Jack didn't think it would actually happen - except that's exactly it, and now that she's here in the flesh (or something to that equivalent), he finds himself a stupid little speck with his hands shoved in his pockets and a dry mouth, and she's--
Well. What isn't she?
Her thoughts are like no other, and even if his instincts cower before them and try to throw up mental walls, Safrin smashes through them as if they're made of damp paper.
And the goddess fills him up, like fireworks from the cosmos, like sparks of moonlight bouncing up from the sea, and Jack is lost. It's darkness and horror and wonder and perfection, and he doesn't notice as his knees hit the ground, sailing on the prisms of her starlit existence.
He thinks he says "Nice to meet you, too," but in reality what comes out is more like, "Nizmyootoo," and he's not even fucking sorry.
