Jackson had followed Kanoa through the darkness, before reaching the small air pocket that held the cavern the spirit was staying in. To say that she was nothing at all what he was expecting was an understatement. He couldn't help but feel like an ass for earlier, but what was done was done. And now they had the lovely task of talking to what was obviously a very distraught individual, who could do who knows what to them if they piss her off or make her feel threatened. Well, at least he didn't have to worry about the bloodbath that Apophsis had been promising to him would away the group at the end of this ordeal.

Jackson pulled himself out of the water, wringing out his thermal shirt a little, but soon giving up as it was just a wasted effort at this point, especially since they were going to have to swim back out later anyway. Walking over to kitsune girl, Jackson took a seat a short distance away from her, close enough that he could be clearly heard, but near enough so that he wasn't invading her personal space. For awhile, he didn't say anything, unsure how he should start this conversation, or was it an interrogation, fuck it, let's just start with the basics.

"Sooo, umm, Hi, my name's Jackson, and I come from California, which is on the other side of the country, in case you didn't know . . . ya know." Jackson chuckled awkwardly to himself, scratching his head a little before giving a sigh. "Yeah that was just unbelievably bad, so let's start over. My name's Jackson, would you mind telling me yours, or if you're not comfortable with that, what you prefer to be called. Also, could you tell us all what happened to the boy over there, maybe explain to us the series of events that led to the situation we have now. Take your time to collect your thoughts, if you feel the need." Jackson had come in expecting to find a vicious monster or inhumane beast, but now that he was faced with an upset and clearly very worried girl, he just could help but feel bad for her. He knew that this could possibly be some sort of trick, they were dealing with a spirit known for illusions after all, but he had a gut feeling that this wash;t the case here at all.
