JACK
"There's nothin' wrong with how you are," Jack objects to her thoughts, tucking both hands into his pockets and leaving the serpentine tattoo fully visible, stark against his skin where it curls up his side and along his ribs. "Don't go blamin' yourself as the problem when it's always been me." Right from day one, Flora hasn't been anything other than herself. And in fairness to himself, that's true of the captain as well - he's just a lot worse of a person than she is.
He ought to have expected that she'd want to be out of his company sooner rather than later, and so Jack inclines his head and accepts the decision without argument. "Oh, I'm pretty sure it is a crime," he objects as he steps past her, one hand reaching out to brush a stray curl out of her face. "So I'm not just a fuckin' idiot, I'm a criminal too." Just one more misdeed to add to the list.
"For what it's worth, though, I think you could have taught me how, given long enough. So go find someone worthwhile and give 'em all you have."
