That was Jack. At the same time Lief gave him the peppermint fancies, "Ava" gave them a boat that sprung mysterious leaks, so that Lief, Jasmine and Barda nearly drowned. Also, "Ava" said nothing of the blood lilies and fleshbanes on the scarlet island, believing, no doubt, that if they even survived the journey to the scarlet island, they would die from loss of blood. After he catches Jasmine, he states that dressed in Ava's loathsome garments, he gave Lief, Barda and Jasmine information that by rights should have sent them to their deaths. Ava then whispers that his plan failed, and she saw that it would be so. Ava had been locked up by the time Jasmine, Lief and Barda came in. It was Laughing Jack all along.
