Simply put, he doesn’t. He doesn’t like talking, refuses to so much to the point that he proceeds to utilize every insufferable way to do otherwise, either through shoddy finger-spelling, auto-corrected texts, or the cassette player that seems to have far too many recordings on the tapes to be natural.
But he can.
Jacket’s voice is soft and quiet. Gentle, but a little bit raspy, likely from the smoking habit. He tends to touch his face when talking, likely out of some kind of bizarre shyness. It’s unclear if he’s even capable of going a tone just above a mumble. Only two people have ever heard his voice before.
Much like the way he talks, he moves quietly as well. Footfalls, despite seemingly relaxed and evenly paced, are taken with caution. He dreads making careless noise regardless of whether or not he’s in a dangerous situation. If watched closely enough, you’ll notice he tends to roll his step inward to minimize sound in a “fox walk”.

He used to. ‘Bonding time’, Beard had called it when he turned on the little music player. It was old, barely functioning, running on half-dead batteries and almost inaudible over the crackle of the fire and waves on the beach. Still, it was all the Wolves could do to maintain a sense of normality again, to feel human.
Daniels had almost drunkenly fallen into the fire-pit trying to teach Jacket how to do the circle slide. He had picked it up eventually, though what he remembers the most is laughing at the horrible attempts of Beard trying to do the worm only to end up with a mouthful of sand.
He doesn’t dance much anymore.

Insomnia is a recent phenomenon, having haunted him for the last 5 years of his life. Often times what he can gather from fitful lapses in consciousness tend to be plagued with nightmares that seem to follow him into the waking hours. Hallucinations and dreams overlap; was that a walking corpse with it’s brains dripping down the suit he’d seen staring at him from a street corner, or had he momentarily fallen asleep on his feet, dreams overlaying his vision?
There are some cases where he can finally get a decent night of rest. He rarely changes out of his clothes, preferring to simply throw himself down into his bed and curl up there fully dressed. He tends to sleep balled up, and any blankets usually end up getting kicked off overnight. His beds almost always a mess of pillows and blankets bunched up in different spots.
