"Wh—" Tall Man says, his smile fading somewhat as he quickly sobers beneath the captain's blue stare. "No, we were..weren't we?" Looking at Flora for confirmation, for help, before Jack is trying to steal his prize and suggesting an alternative for how he might spend the rest of his evening.
Opening his mouth a few times, Tall Man looks from Flora to Jack and offers the queen an apologetic wince. She might rule Torchline, but the captain rules the bits of it that could become immediately hostile for him and his livelihood. "Another time, then." He says in a low voice. For a moment it looks as though he's going to kiss Flora on the cheek, though Jack's stare has him thinking better of it. Skulking off with a very awkward boner, as soon as he slips out of view the Doubletake is whirling away from the captain with her fingers clenched into fists and her aqua eyes blazing.
"What the fuck was that?" She doesn't think about slapping him, she thinks about taking the bottle of rum she'd brought with her from the bar and clobbering him with it.
