JACK
It certainly is a conversation for another time, especially given the tantalising turn things are about to take. "Towards the end of Deepfrost," Jack tells her breezily, and if she's in any doubt, the silence from the ring on her finger might help. "Just when everyone's gotten tired of the season." Himself included, he might add. And as for the surprise that sparkles through her thoughts, Jack can't resist a chuckle at that, and he shrugs his shoulders. "I'm a businessman, Flora, and not an honourable one. Of course I can be bribed to be nice."
Regarding the ring on his finger, he flexes his hand a couple of times. "Mageglass," he explains. "It's like an amplifier for Abandoned magic. That kid on the beach was wearin' some, when we were fightin' the panther." For all the good it had done them, but that didn't make the item any less valuable.
As things ramp up (and the crew, all two of them at present, definitely notice and enjoy it, and Flora doesn't need to be a mindreader to figure it out), Jack hitches in a quiet breath to feel her palm press further against him, his own hand slipping around her waist whilst one drifts lower, bunching up her sundress as it slips up to cup the curve of her backside. "Sounds like quite an impasse," he murmurs, his lips a mere breath away from her own. "Guess we'll just have to fuck around and find out."
