JACK

"A pity I can't say the same thing," Jack says with a smirk around another sip of his coffee since Flora has declined it. Get it? Because she's invisible? Ha ha ha. Even so, he's able to gaze sidelong at the space she's meant to be almost as though he can see her - which probably looks a little odd to anyone watching, but it's still fairly quiet at this time of the morning. (It will likely stay that way all day, given the heat).

As for The Ark, it's a testament to their developing situationship that the captain finds that he doesn't want to keep his ship's upgrade a secret from the Doubletake, no matter the amusement he'd get out of surprising her with it. "You didn't miss her," he says airily enough. "She flew in about an hour ago." All bright and shiny in the daylight, though now they're home, he's of a mind to do some well-deserved maintenance to the ship. (Can anyone say PQ?)

Shifting to brace against the weight she leans against him, Jack dutifully waits for Flora to appear again before he raises his eyebrows and looks her over. "A run during Longheat? Who pissed you off?" he wonders. Was it me? It's usually me.
