JACK
As has already become quite the habit in their relationship, Jack opts to silence Flora's unspoken but still with a kiss. This one, however, is directed into her fair hair, a simultaneous attempt to smooth out her ruffled feathers as well as wordless gratitude that she'll keep yet another one of his secrets to herself. Not that it will matter with the likes of Vesper, but that's an entirely different powder keg. One they've just started to discuss, as it happens.
"Mm, they all are," he says. Her age, yes. Hot, presumably. "He - Vesper, he calls himself - is like me. And a demigod, apparently." Which, yes, that will also take a lot of getting used to, but the evening has already been a busy one, and it will take a good night's sleep and then some to even begin coming to terms with it. "The girls aren't, though." He'd mentioned that one of them could be eventually, which leads Jack to believe there's at least another Abandoned out there, if not one more demigod.
"We've both got a block, though." His brow furrows at that; the captain hadn't known he'd possessed one, until there had been another telepath on the block. "He can't read me, I can't read him. Not right now, anyway." Who knows what time and strength will alter. "Probably best for you to stay away from him, honestly." Reading Flora, as the Doubletake might already have surmised, is now about as close to reading Jack as anyone might get.
