[ next time i shower you with ink. ohh, he's just. going to chuckle lightly at that, because that sure is a thing... that he's not going to let happen again. it's a pretty fortunate thing that the ink didn't stay, honestly, because just imagining trying to get out of the blue out of his suit sounds...

... a bit impossible. ]

It doesn't sound like that's what you're going to do.

[ haha. noticing jack's soft tone, he both throws back his own tease and partially mimics it. look, it doesn't really sound like he's being threatened here, it's an honest statement.

ah, but the rest of what jack says is less playful and more... not good, so he leans back a tad, raising an eyebrow. toothless takes that as a cue to also move back a little bit, though he's still sniffing around jack and keeping close contact with the two of them. ]

... Wait, Jack, they got you? That's-- concerning. [ jack?? ] How do you feel? Any... any weird compulsions to do whatever anyone says?

[ wow that's random and not at all his personal experience at the end there. ]
