i want to taste you again
"You're tellin' me that Tall Dark and Silent had active ambitions to do all that, and didn't just trip and fall into it?" Jack raises his eyebrows at Flora, a smile playing at the corners of his lips. Because however eye-wateringly strong, resilient, steadfast and responsible Deimos is, the captain very much doubts he had any inclinations at all towards doing the things he's achieved.
Anyway, whether it's about the Sword or not, Jack has been told in no uncertain terms to shut up, and so he gives Flora a smug roll of his shoulders and lets all those matters drop. (Including your little marriage proposal, Sunjata). All but finding somewhere to lay their head for the night, anyway, and as Flora's thoughts prickle with something that tastes like doubt but remains locked behind her teeth, Jack accepts the wine with a nod of thanks.
"I'll see you back at Torchline," he tells her. It won't be for at least a week, because Jack is about to have a very rough couple of days, and then he'll have to sail the Ark back around.
But he'll see Flora soon enough.
He always does.
