It was like he was floating, just barely there. His consciousness was aware of what happened around him except he wasn’t alive, his body still repairing itself and resetting him to how he was at his first death. Jack was vaguely aware of someone else in the room with him, pacing, sitting beside his body, and the gentle touch of fingers in his hair. 

All of a sudden, his lungs screamed for air like he had been holding his breath for quite some time and his eyes snapped open as he gasped for that first breath. The first breath was definitely the worst. The only thing keeping him from shooting up as he struggled to breathe was a gentle but firm hand on his chest. Jack’s eyes searched for the source and he only relaxed when he saw Corvo’s worried expression.

“Corvo.. How-- Where?” As his breathing settled, the other man let him sit up and he realized where they were- Corvo’s quarters. “How long was I out?”

“So I’ve been told a few times…” He didn’t exactly feel like getting up to face that sort of proclamation, face firmly pressed into the pillow with a small grumble. Well… at least he wasn’t getting nonsense about how cute he looked when he slept. Or drooled. Or anything else that John wasn’t exactly up for thinking about at the moment.

“I even wanna know what I was saying?” A pause, only to give himself a moment to peer at the guy with a questioning look. “… Nothing particularly weird, I’m hoping. Or incriminating…” Or cute. Again.

“Whatever it was… pretend y’ never heard it.”

In a moment, they had left the Isles and appeared in Cardiff. He looked over at his companion with a grin as his arm dropped to his side. “Welcome to Cardiff, Corvo. It’s not much, but it was home. Figured it’d be an easy start for your tour of things outside of what you know.”

Jack took his hand and was about to start leading him out from the park when he tensed, his grip tightening on Corvo’s hand. Snarling creatures stood just feet in front of them. “Shit!” A glance around them quickly proved that they were surrounded by eight of the creatures. The immortal reached into his coat pocket and was only met with the cold metal of his gun-- no Anti Weevil spray or stun gun.

“I take it back, Cardiff fucking sucks.”

Jack looked over at Corvo and couldn’t help the grin that appeared on his face. He moved over to him and sat beside him. “Do I have to say please to get you to do that?” The captain winked and leaned against the Royal Protector, his arm wrapping around him.

Jack ran his hand through his hair as he took a deep breath. This was why he found the most secluded spot there to sleep, he couldn’t stay awake forever even if the nightmares would wake him up anyway.

“I’m fine, Corvo. It was just a nightmare, don’t even remember it.” Only the last part was true, he never could remember the nightmares when he woke up. The Agency may have taken those memories and locked them away in the immortal’s mind, but they seemed to come back when he slept. “You should get some rest yourself. I’ll be okay by myself for a few hours, didn’t want to disturb anyone anyway.”

The farm was the one thing that was truly Jack’s. Yes, he had been gifted the land and the farmhouse by the royal family due to his extensive military history. It was still his, he paid the wages of everyone who worked on the farm and in the house. He had the final say in what happens and he could breathe freely.

The captain was busy harvesting, chickens roaming the yard, his basket was full of what would likely end up eaten today and what would be processed and stored. Someone was there and the immortal looked over, expecting someone who worked for him. “Corvo? Thought they’d gotten you set up in Capital City already. I know I’m not that far from the city but...”

Jack had woken up, feeling the warmth of another body beside him in a bed he didn’t immediately recognize. He turned to look at the other man with a small grin when he saw that it was Corvo, who seemed to still be asleep.

A few moments later, he spoke but hadn’t opened his eyes yet. “Just wondering when you’d wake up, looked like you were dead to the world there.” The captain pushed himself to sit up and stretched his arms above his head with a soft groan. “Christ, actually managed to sleep last night.”

“Keep talking like that, Corvo, and I’ll start to think you actually like me.” He laughed, fully teasing the other man. “What trouble have you been getting into without me?”
