JACK
"Of course I know it hurts," Jack says instantly - that's a given, considering one of their biggest problems has been the fact that he can read her fucking mind. His fingers feel cold again as he beholds her on the sand before the pale white of the Aumakua, and this time there's no ice coating them. "I'm tryin' to make sure what I do next is gonna stop that happening again, one way or another." The words almost burn on his tongue, the ones he hasn't said yet, the ones he's fighting to form because if he wants it enough he's capable of gods-damned anything, or so says Flora Kaito-Taliesin.
But she tells him to stop, and Jack gazes away from her, frowning and rising back to his feet. "I'm not playin' a game with you, Flora," he mutters. "I just wanted to know if you could really see it - a future with all the good and bad parts that come along with bein' with someone like me. Because if you can't, then that's fine, and I'll go. But if that's what you want?" He holds out a hand, as if to help her up. "Then it's what I want as well. I'll figure myself out. I don't... fuck, Flora. Don't make me walk away from this stupid lighthouse without you, okay?"
