Sandy's POV
Once again, Sandy was frustrated by his inability to properly communicate with the other Guardians. He didn't understand why none of the others could see it. Sure, he was the only one who had bothered to keep an eye on Jack over the boy's three centuries of life, but still.
Why couldn't they see it? Jack, normally so outspoken and nearly always the center of attention, had just sat in the window without announcing his presence. Something had obviously happened, something which had caused Jack to become cautious. Whatever had happened, it was likely to be far worse than the snow storm Jack had caused. The boy was always messing with those, and yet they had never affected him to this degree.
Something happened to Jack. He's different. You need to find out what. It can't be just the snow storm.
From the look on Jack's face, Sandy could tell that the kid had understood his signs and he was not happy about having to explain himself. Sandy smiled. Good, at least someone understood.
"Sandy is right Jack." North said, when Jack showed no signs of answering. Sandy gave a relieved smile, it seemed that at least one other person had managed to correctly interpret his sand signs. "It was irresponsible of you to cause the storm. Why would you do such a thing?"
Sandy face-palmed.
Jack on the other hand seemed relieved. He shrugged. "Come on North. It was just a bit of fun."
"A bit of fun!" Great, Sandy thought, now Jack had managed to set Bunny off again. "How can you say this is a bit of fun?! Yer nearly caused an Ice Age, yer brumby."
Sandy watched as Jack shrugged. "So?" The boy asked. Sandy's eyes widened. There was definitely something wrong. Jack never acted like this. Even when his pranks got out of hand, he would at least apologize for them.
To Sandy's relief, Tooth managed to spot his difference in attitude as well. "Jack. Are you feeling all right?" She asked softly.
Jack glared at her and Sandy, along with the rest of the Guardians, who took a half step back. "I'm fine!" He snarled. "I don't need babysitting."
And with that Jack jumped straight back out the window and flew off.
Jack's acting strangely.
Thankfully, this time there was no misinterpretation. North nodded. "He is." The man looked around at the guardians. "We need to find out what has happened to him."
