Jack comes into Milliways tonight looking rather more relaxed than he did last time.

He also looks considerably less injured. All the surface wounds have mostly been dealt with, though he's still limping slightly.

He steps through and smiles. The first thing he does, is head to the bar and order a lemonade.

Once he's got that, he turns round to survey the bar and see who's here.

Comments

"The kind that is cruel to animals." Jack scowls.

"Yet somehow, seems to be one of the best military commanders of his generation, so his commanders are quite willing to over look it."

[a1enzo]

Enzo glowers. He does not hold with mistreatment of animals.

[againsttherules]

Jack is quite glad to find another person who agrees with him on the topic. So he gives a knowing smile.

"Well, I wasn't gonna hold with it. She's here now."

[a1enzo]

"She?"

[againsttherules]

"Yeah. Horus is a female Peregrine Falcon."

[a1enzo]

"Oh, cool! I was one of those once."

[againsttherules]

Jack pauses for a moment.

"A Female? Or a Peregrine Falcon?" Or both, he adds, silently.

[a1enzo]

"The falcon."

[againsttherules]

Jack nods.

"How come?"

He's going to guess 'Milliways' of some form.

[a1enzo]

"A god turned me into one. It's cool, he asked first."

[againsttherules]

"Well, as long as he asked." Not that Jack could really do anything about it, anyway.

"You can call this academic interest, if you like, but, Who was it?" It's not really, but it possibly sounds better :D

[a1enzo]

"Belar. He was head of Security for a while, but I heard he stopped. I haven't seen him here at all in a while, actually." Sadface.

[againsttherules]

Jack has a think. Unfortunately for him, he's never read the Belgariad books.

"Hmmm... Nope, not heard of him. What was he God of? Or was he one of these gods of everything?"

[a1enzo]

"A few things. Bears, and beer, and I think the ocean? But he does general godding for Mongolia these days."

[againsttherules]

Jack nods, "Fair enough."

Let's face it, it's probably not his Mongolia.

[a1enzo]

"So... you've got a falcon now?"

[againsttherules]

"I... suppose so." Jack really hadn't thought of it that way. He'd just thought of it as rescuing a bird in need of a proper home.

"I think she's going to stay here for now. I've got no where back home for her."

[a1enzo]

"Well, this oughta be a good place for her."

[againsttherules]

"Yeah, I hope so."
