[ Vol'jin had woken up with aches and pains all over, his mouth full of what he could only assume was the flavor of whatever poor unfortunate thing had crawled into his mouth and died there. He felt like ass. His shoulder hurt more than it had in months, and he was exhausted. So much for having a restful night.

...Or however long it had really been.

So, excuse his disheveled appearance, lace of face paint and disarrayed hair. He's still a bit out of it. Rubbing at the inside corner of one eye with his thumb, he speaks before picking up the steaming mug of whatever that is nearby. It had partially obscured a plate full of very picked clean bones, a few bread crumbs and a couple slices of as-of-yet-uneaten cheese. He sniffed loudly. ]

What'd I miss?

[ --And takes a drink. Forgive his brevity, Caer Scima; he's been through a great deal in the last week. It's wearing on him.

Please tell him he didn't miss the feast, though; he still feels like he could eat the entire banquet by himself. ]

[ Private to the Outsider ]

I got a note from the Fox. He took Alice, did ya know? When'd that happen?

[ Well, it's far too late to do anything about it NOW, but he doesn't know when this came or how long he's been gone. But there's none of the threatened body parts sitting around his room, so he's sitting here with a threat and literally not a single clue what to do with it. ]

[ Well, he's already done the disoriented flailing off camera, and nobody was around to tape his wounds opening or anything, so. But yeah, he's evidently been up for a while today. It gave him time to recover.

Somewhat.

Vol'jin nods, looking tired, but one side of his mouth quirks up in a half smile. ]

Dunno if I'd call it a nap. Usually, ya less tired after a nap. More like, 'passed out for a week and went somewhere else.'

[Jack's grin is slight, very understanding of the situation.]

Yeah, I think I know that feeling all too well. But at least you made it back in one piece. Gotta look at that positive, right?

[Jack grinning brings a slow smile to his own face.]

Truth. An' a fact I'm mighty glad of. [It was a bit touch-and-go there for a bit...]

Been busy?

Actually, things have kind of settled down. No more crazy dog stuff which means everyone can finally relax for a bit. Although there was some crazy rescue mission with some stranded people on a ship in the middle of it, but— [More importantly.]

You actually came in good time. Just in time for the holiday season. Tons of ice and snow and fun times. [aka Jack season.]

[ICE. and SNOW. Aaaauuuuugggh whyyyyyyyyyy. ლ(ಠДಠლ)

GIVE HIM CREDIT, THOUGH, he remains fairly impassive. Just sort of staring, blank faced, into the locket. It doesn't last. He sags a bit and looks off to one side.]

I'm gonna need more clothes.

[He does not relish this. How do you walk with shoes on?]

[The expression has Jack breaking into a laugh, impressed that he actually tried his best to hide it. He's used to it though; most people didn't exactly have positive reactions to the winter setting.]

What's with that reaction? Can't handle a little snow, buddy boy?

[Buddy boy. What a little ass. Never mind his little mischievous smirk.]

[Oh he full on rolls his eyes at that, snorting at the locket mirror.]

I be a jungle troll, not a ice troll. I like it less an' less with each passin' year.

[He smiles, one-sided and wry.]

Think I'll be the one laughin' come summertime.

Oh come on, a little bit of play with my magic and you'll think being an ice troll is the coolest thing.

[He's convinced anyway, pointing with an all-knowing finger.]

Besides, I can handle summer. I don't turn into a literal puddle like everyone thinks.
