When Linear fell from the roof Jack winced a little but didn't rush over to see if she was alright. She had always been clumsy and even though she was incredibly tiny she rarely seemed to get hurt badly.

When she came over to him and started mumbling apologies he sighed and ran his hand through his wild black hair. Jack felt that he was a good leader; he could be encouraging and uplifting to those under him but he could also scold them when the time called for it. But this tiny, clumsy girl in front of him always made him think of a small, frail animal and he found it hard to be too harsh to her.
He sighed once again before saying, "Linear, I know you try hard and you mean well... but you need to pay attention to what's going on around you! I was about to take care of it, the job was almost complete. I want to believe that you will show amazing skills in hunting soon, but every time I let you out on a job you blow it!" He threw his arms up in exasperation and anger and waited to see if she would say anything in return.
