"We've all got our off days," he tosses back just as lightly, trying for mimicking Merritt in reply to her mimicry of Daniel. He's not that bothered by almost needing to go back to the manual way of doing things instead of the magic one, considering he should have figured that the Eye would have precautions against people like him.
Anyway, he turns his attention to the room, looking it over as the lights flick on - and then looking to Henley for her reaction. Jack's already had this moment, after all.
From the outside, the cabanas look too small to be comfortable, too small to belong to a resort that's obviously as well-appointed as this one. Like so much else with the Eye, though, it's all about the deception. Inside, the room is much larger, this one containing a king bed with a wooden headboard loaded with light and dark blue pillows and covered in a white bedspread. To either side sits a nightstand of the same wood as the headboard, both holding a white-shaded lamp. One of them also holds a phone.
At its foot is a bench with a few more cushions and a coffee table holding a bowl and stack of what looks to be travel magazines. The bench faces the currently covered windows and, tucked into the corner to the left of the windows, a large television on an entertainment center. Beyond the bed and bench is another small seating area with two chairs and a table holding a currently empty ice bucket and set of two glasses, a lamp beside them. Beside that is a desk with a black binder, likely containing information on the resort and another, simpler chair.
To the right of the entrance is another door, and Jack drifts to the side to turn the bathroom light on and peek inside. It's as nice as the room itself, holding a bathtub large enough for two with jacuzzi jets set into the sides and a large, glass-walled shower next to it. There are two sinks with the usual assortment of sample toiletries and a basket of fluffy, perfectly white towels. There is a door just inside the bathroom that Jack knows to hide a closet for luggage. The toilet isn't immediately visible, but Jack can see another door backed by a full length mirror just beyond the sinks.
"So?" he asks when he steps back into the main room.
