JACK
"You thought you could." Jack shrugs a shoulder. "It's easy to know how to handle somethin' when you're not in the middle of it." Like being choked to death by a void vine and deciding to tell the Queen of Torchline that you're a mindreader. Or, you know, any other number of arguably foolish things the captain has done in his life.
As for the pain, Jack leans in a little closer to Flora as if he's about to impart a great secret to her. "Neither do I," he whispers, though there's not an ounce of guilt in his tone. Granted, she'd already know as much about him, and whilst there's flexibility within those thresholds given the nature of Jack's magic, on the whole it's a no from him thanks.
It's true that he doesn't need the reiteration about Asta, and though he can appreciate that the Doubletake harbours no ill will towards him, Jack is not about to let it go entirely. "If I run into him in Torchline I will fire a cannon at his head, though," he tells her, and maybe the exaggeration will make it funnier when he actually goes ahead and does it.
Not expecting, after all of this, for Flora to come back with succinct wit about the situation, Jack scoffs out a quiet laugh before he can help himself. "You'd have eaten him alive," he agrees.
