JACK
His hand pulls back at the sudden hiss of her anger through his magic, Jack biting the inside of his cheek and shaking his head, pinching the bridge of his nose. "I was tryin'," he grates out, stepping away from her properly at last. It's for the best. She doesn't want this, doesn't want anything like what this would look like, and it's for the fucking best.
"You seem to know everythin' about how this works for someone who feels like she's so impossible to love," he snaps; even a few minutes ago perhaps he'd have tried harder to temper the sting of his words, but now? To hell with it all, apparently. "How it's s'posed to feel, how it's s'posed to go, what's good enough and what's right and what isn't. So fuck you, Flora. I did try."
It had been as slow as the tide on a long day, but one look at where the captain is now compared to where he had been is evidence enough. It will almost be a relief to stop, he thinks, now that this is all said and done.
