JACK
see me falling
yeah, down and lonely
yeah, down and lonely
Raising a hand as if in apology - because yes, Jack does deserve to take some if not all the blame for that particular line of thinking, and it's only been half intentional on his part - the captain falls quiet and lets one leg dangle from the edge of the steps. Keeping his hands busy in lighting his cigarette, eventually he shrugs his shoulders again, face briefly illuminated further by the way the end of the smoke glows on his inhale.
"Mm, look at me," he agrees dryly, though where once there might have been arrogance, now it's merely a wry sort of acceptance at mistakes made and things that can't be unsaid. "Still, it's not like I could have this conversation with anyone else, so all things considered, I'm less alone than I ever have been." And fucking cheers to that, hey?
"Anyway," he mutters. "Ain't shit I can do about what you know, an' it's clear I can't give you what you want either. So just... do me a favour and tell me when you're plannin' to let everyone else in on it, and I'll take myself off this rock before I have to hear it broadcast."
