i want to taste you again
"How's it any different from any other quest?" Jack asks with a shake of his head he immediately regrets. Slumping a little as she leans back from him, the blanket flutters around his shoulders with the breeze. "Everythin' anyone asks from Safrin makes you hers." The words aren't eloquent, but they ring with the truth he'd seen as expanding starlight from the supernova of the goddess's core. "Every regional ask, every item, every bit of power." A trembling hand raises towards his face - there's already a tattoo there of a star, inked by the lady herself. Was he any less hers coming into this as he is leaving now?
Feeling Flora's honesty like the bare scratch of fingernails against his skin, Jack doesn't flinch away from it, though his eyebrows do raise a fraction in surprise. "Then she'd just offer you somethin' you couldn't say no to," he says simply.
Perhaps a love that couldn't wither, in the form of a man or woman who would never look twice at anyone but the Doubletake. Perhaps that.
"Forever," the captain's ambition repeats. It doesn't matter whose he is. He's there forever.
