JACK
Never having heard his own proclivities thrown back at him so casually, it's safe to say that Vesper catches his dear old man by surprise, and Jack's expression is surprisingly genuine as he nods, tapping a slow finger against the weathered grain of the wood. "Shame it only lasts a few seconds," he agrees, unaware that from either side of the table, two minds that are frighteningly alike are beginning to tick over.
A week isn't too long. A week is perfect, in fact; long enough to get bearings, to know what's what in Torchline before seeking him out, but not long enough to start getting ideas about the world and their places in it. "Alright, best of luck."
Not that it seems as though the boy needs it, Jack watching idly as he handles the interaction with the waitress, though of course he's only able to really hear her side of it. With one hand casually twisting the new ring on his finger, by the time Vesper returns he thinks he's gotten the general gist of what's happened, the captain sitting up to take his glass and feel, perhaps for the first time, the smug bubble of the young demigod's thoughts.
"A quick learner," he observes. "I'll drink to that." He reaches out to clink his glass against Vesper's.
