Violet eyes run over the distanced pale skinned Jack again. It wasn't unusual for the frost guardian to isolate himself from the others. Sure, he was adapting, after all he'd lived in near solitude for over three hundred years. She didn't exactly expect him to be outgoing. Still, she worried. She couldn't help it- it was in her nature. What was he thinking about when he went off all by himself anyway? What was he feeling? She kept those questions to herself, somewhat nervous to ask, fearing he might push her away if he felt she was trying to impose.

She nearly jumped out of her feathers, startled when Jack gave a heavy sigh, that trademark smug smile hooking his lips as she realized that his cool blue eyes were now settled on her. Her cheeks and nose reddened at having been caught by him. "C'mon," he muttered, moving over to make room for her to sit by him on the bench.

A smile flickered onto her lips before faltering, unsure whether she had annoyed him and not knowing whether to smile or not. She did, however uncertainly, take the offered seat next to him. "S-sorry," she stammered softly, "I don't mean to-"

"I know," Jack interrupted that awkward apology, "It's alright. I don't mind, Tooth," he said, giving her a reassuring smile before looking back out the window and over the horizon before his breath caused the glass pane to become coated in frost. "You don't have to worry about me, Tooth, I'm fine," he said.

"Oh, I know Jack but you know how I worry," she softly smiled, lashes lowering as she looked to her small hands, "I just… I can't figure out what's going through your head when you're out here all alone, you know? I know you've been alone for a long time Jack but… I want you to know you're not anymore. You have us."

He laughed. And it was infectious, those clear eyes of his bright and full of light as he looked to her, "I know that. Ever think I'm out here to get away from the company?" he teased.

"Why do you think I work so much?" she quipped back playfully.

They laughed and after a comfortable silence came over the pair. Tooth was well guarded from the cold that radiated off Jack, her downy feathers keeping her warm. However, as the sun sunk below the horizon it got even cooler and soon her feathers quivered from the cold. "Let's get you inside," he quietly said to her, not wanting to shatter the quiet moment.

Toothiana gave a light nod, Jack offering her his hand to help her up. As she rose to her feet, she watched Jack, his face, her eyes trying to search his- and in her deep analysis nearly tripped over herself, falling into Jack, her face pressed against his chest. A deep blush came over her features as she pulled back and quickly apologized.

"It's okay, hey look at me," he said, squinting his eyes now looking her over good as he hooked her chin with a finger to get a better look at her face, "Are you feeling alright, Tooth? You look a little…" he didn't finish his statement, instead pressing the back of a cool hand to her cheek.

Toothiana's blush didn't shake, his tenderness towards her only making it worse. "Jack I-" she made herself look into those blue orbs of his. She couldn't do it. Couldn't say what she wanted to say, instead a measly thank you came out.
