Flora

"They absolutely did." Flora confirms, her outrage only mitigated by the righteousness she felt. Whether or not Jack had ever fucked with them in a past life, the queen thought was entirely irrelevant (so long as he hadn't fucked them), and she said as much. "Does it matter? They literally could have said they wanted to talk about it instead of Remi literally keeping Jack hostage in a closet." Raising her eyebrows for emphasis, she shoots her brother a look of we're not done with this as he tucks the necklace away.

Hearing Jack speak the travelling tongue was not just an impressive manipulation, it was hot as fuck as well, such that while Flora manages to look proud of what Jack had 'learned', inwardly she felt like an ice cube that had just been tossed into a pool of lava. "I'm surprised you two have never met before, actually." Tucking herself at Jack's side, the captain likely doesn't need to go through Flora's mind to find out Mateo's proclivities. Not with the botanist standing right there. "Mateo is a botanist in Stormbreak. He grows all sorts of things." She 'explains' to Jack, before glancing toward her brother. "And after the collapse of the portals before the skyports were set up, Jack's ship was one of the only reliable ways of moving things around."
