[ It's not as if Jack and Ana haven't had their fair share of arguments over the years, but they'd always been able to find their way back to a common ground in the end. Both of them had tempers when the situation was right, but they also didn't stay mad for long. They weren't the type for grudges, unlike a certain someone.
The argument is therefore more or less defused before it starts, so that they can focus on their immediate circumstances and the implications involved. ]
It seems like that should be one of the first things we look into. If people are vanishing, they might be imprisoned somewhere.
[ It seems too easy, to assume they've gone back the way they came here.

He spots Ana at a table in the corner and settles heavy into the seat across from her, mask in place the way it always is when he's out in public. There's an urge to reach out, but after a quick glance around them, he crosses his arms over his chest. ]
Long time no see.
[ It isn't, really, but it almost feels that way. And her familiar face is a boon in a place that's so foreign to them. ]
