Jack looked like he was trying to throttle the air with one hand.
He didn't know what to do to keep everyone happy because there wasn't anything he could do to keep everyone happy. Not when they all wanted different things, not with the level of distrust there.
That whole "the fate of every world there is" thing was getting to him a little. People stress being added on top of it was not really something he could deal with right now and it didn't help that everyone was tugging in all different directions - Mami wanted to fight because she seemed to trust them, Howard didn't want to fight and didn't trust them, and Nico did want to fight but it was because she didn't trust them.
Jack never thought he'd miss the days of having no human interaction but they were starting to inspire some nostalgia at the moment.
He and Bunny were not leaders.
"Listen, you little -"
Jack stopped.
That was because the birds had stopped. They'd been chirping and chittering and chattering the entire time they'd been here but now there was dead silence.
Far off in the distance came a noise that was in between the laughter of children and screaming, and dark clouds suddenly started to roll over the sun.
Jack's eyes went wide.
"They can't be here! It's daylight and the kids' joy should be shielding - " Another screaming laugh rended the air. Frost - no, more like a thin sheet of ice - spread over Jack's skin with a crisp noise.
"Everyone, back to the sleigh!" Jack cried out, his voice thin and panicked. "Now!"
