JACK
"The problem with my sort of ability is that I can also make any kink mine for a night, dependin' on the person," Jack agrees with a roll of his shoulder, feeling some of the tension start to unspool from his neck and down the length of his spine as they continue to speak, though it's a tentative peace if that. Because the captain still can't get a read on Safrin, and he doesn't know if he prefers it to the full force of the cosmos erupting into his mind all at once.
(He does prefer this, in fact, and the next time he visits Safrin at a real shrine, he'll remember as much).
Having been staring deeply into his own goblet, still sitting on the table the starlight lady had summoned, Jack almost misses her remark at first. But it doesn't take long for him to comprehend it, the captain sitting straight to glance at her over his shoulder with a raise of his eyebrows. "We agreed on one," he points out. "How am I meant to offer others for favours if you have three from me now?" It absolutely isn't a no - but that's precisely the point. What's in it for him?
You know, other than risking the wrath of a goddess.
