JACK
"Neither did I, the first couple times," Jack says with a scoff, as if only just realising the plethora of mistakes and first times he's never been able to share; not even with Flora, as close as they are were, purely because there would be no frame of reference without sharing that vein of telepathy. "Bribes, compliments and threats are best, until you've figured out your place in the world and people know you." And respect you, but that goes without saying.
Speaking of things going without saying, Jack at least does Vesper the courtesy of time to mull things over, and he nods gently to hear the full situation - for the time being, at least. Taking another sip of his drink, as it appears that they've reached an understanding, the captain relaxes once more, only to find the young demigod suddenly leaning in as if they're sharing secrets. Which, he supposes, they are.
"For me, yeah," he says with a nod. "The business I'm in, people won't deal with someone they don't think they can lie to. Them not knowin' gives me the edge I need to be better than the rest." And he is better than the rest, of that he's very willing to argue. "If that's the sort of shit you want to try to work towards, discretion is your friend. If you want to sleep your way through Torchline at the Halenani, you'll have a line out the door of people wantin' to fuck a telepath. All depends on you."
