JACK

"Huh, so there is." Glancing back at the knife and realising belatedly that he's not only cut himself with a poisoned blade, but he's sucked the tainted blood from his finger, too, the captain can't not laugh about it. (That's a lie, actually, he could be doing a lot more about it, but if Flora hasn't put two and two together yet, this is not Jack as she knows him).

"Gross?" he echoes, before his brows furrows and he scoffs, shaking his head. "Shut up," he drawls, "that's nothin' to do with it. You weren't naive because you were young, you were naive because you had no idea how fuckin' powerful you were and how much you could influence everyone else. Swannin' around Torchline with Taliesins for parents and havin' no idea how much easier life could be for it."

Wondering how long it'll take before the poison in his system makes him feel even more like a horror show, the captain leans back on his good hands. "Go on," he mutters, "ask whatever else you wanna know." May as well. It isn't as though her opinion of him is going to get any higher, and gods know why it even matters to Jack at this point in time. It does, though. Fuck.
