[His breath hitches as he remembers what Dirk said to him, that it wasn't his fault and he shouldn't be beating himself up over being tricked like that, but god it was hard not to. Being alone in the city bar Baby Tooth didn't leave much for him to think about, and providing snowball fights wasn't all that distracting sometimes.

Jack takes a deep breath to stop himself from babbling and lifts his eyes, staring at the older man before he responds, tugging his staff closer into the crook of his arm.]

H-how can you? That easily? I mean I haven't even done anything back home...

Because I have seen it. With my own eyes! [ He widens them, as he speaks, and they are just as full of wonder as the little baby nestled in the center of his matryoshka dolls. Because while Jack doubts, North believes. His hand comes down and rests on Jack's chest, warm and large and right over his heart, and he smiles wider at him. ]

Because I know who you are. What you have done, and what you will do. I believe in you, Jack.

[There's something about the way North speaks that makes Jack's head clear, clearing as much as it had that night in the kitchen of House 12. He must have done something huge after the crevice in Antarctica if North believes in him that much, even if he doesn't know what that something is. He reaches up to rub the back of his neck, shifting from foot to foot.]

...Thanks, North. [There's a pause.] I'm glad someone does.

[saintnorth]

Someone always will.

[ Nicholas St. North has never made or taken promises lightly, but his voice carries one with it as easily as the saint breathes. Perhaps it has no power like a child's belief, but words always have power if you mean them. If you let them. (Both of which he does.) ]

Now then. [ Gently ruffling the boy's hair, he rises to his full height again. ]

[Jack cringes a little at the hair ruffle before he lets himself chuckle, Baby Tooth giving a trill before she flutters into North's coat, slipping herself into a pocket. Living with Jack is nice and all but he's not exactly warm. The boy spirit raises his foot to scratch the back of his shin, smiling sheepishly as he wonders if he should ask about that last cryptic sentence before he realizes something.]

Uh, I've been living between the lake and the clock tower with Baby Tooth for the last month, so I don't actually have a place to take you back to. [He tilts his head.] I can still show you around though.
