You know, the Tooth Fairy? Takes kids' baby teeth when they lose them? Gives them gifts in return? [ Obviously Ginko has no idea what he's talking about, which only confuses Jack more...but at the same time, it's kind of funny. ]
I dunno what a Ginko is, though, so I guess we're even.
[ He slows for a moment, thoughtful, then quickens his footsteps to keep pace. ]
It was just a guess. You have white hair like me, and you can see me, so you couldn't be human... [ And yet, there doesn't seem to be anything particularly unusual about him, other than the hair, and he doesn't know who the Tooth Fairy or the Man in the Moon are. The thought gives him pause, and he blinks slowly, once, twice, before staring at Ginko again. ]
[ Tentatively, he reaches out with the crook of his staff and nudges Ginko lightly on the arm, recoiling instinctively when it meets resistance instead of passing through. Jack isn't sure what to make of this now. ]
NO STAHP SHH YOU ARE FINE
