[WELL, he was about to ask who Varric is, or maybe make some pleasant surface remark about story-telling skills and how it'd be nice, listening to a children's story or a fairy tale if it were told like that, BUT THEN COLE HAS TO GO DO HIS DUMB GHOST THING and naturally Jack is like what the shit but probably with more vague murderous intent, because his kneejerk reaction to scary things is also murder. Two peas in a pod!!
That said, it's a good thing Jack is currently surrounded by plants and a lattice that might as well be stationary, because his other kneejerk reaction to scary things is to throw glasses of water in their faces (or shoot them in the ear, apparently). Maybe a bucket of water here, if Cole gets really lucky! For now, though, he seems quite rooted to the spot. It's because Jack knows that Oz knows - he's shown his memories, after all; shared something dear with his dearest Chain. Oz knows, and Glen knows, and Lacie almost knows (but Glen isn't here, and Lacie never will be), and no one else should because those are private things that he keeps close to himself. The things he wanted for Lacie, the things that he wanted to use to cement his own realness—
"I help those that are hurting", huh.]
How do you know about her? About Lacie...? Even the tower— only the Baskervilles should know, but I've never seen you before - not once. [He shakes his head once, easing the lattice toward the ground.] What you're saying... It doesn't make any sense at all.
[Apparently he's just going to skip over the customary WHO ARE YOU considering he's like 99% sure Cole's some sort of dEMON STRAIGHT FROM HELL.]
