JACK
It almost escapes his lips - that of course Jack is more useful with his pants on, because his tongue does all of the important work - but already that boulder is rolling down from Fun Mountain and into whatever mire they're about to start wading through. Only already the captain can almost feel the walls slamming down around those parts of Flora's mind that she wants to keep from him, the parts he could try to pry open with force if he really had to, but that he leaves well alone as she starts to speak.
"Flora." Despite pointedly saying that she wasn't a member of his crew, the tone of Jack's voice is exactly the sort he'd use when trying to get the attention of one of his men, and he has to take a second to tone himself down. "I'll only press this one more time," he says slowly. "Because if we don't talk about it, things will only get more complicated. But if you don't wanna deal with it, I'm not gonna make you." He raises his eyebrows at her.
"So which is it? Here, or The Hanged Man?" What's actually going on, or what they're very good at pretending is happening?
