JACK
Leave it to Remi Taliesin to once again make Jack feel like the street urchin he'd once been, the captain throwing up a mental block against the other man as his thoughts turn sour with the sympathy of oh my poor girl, falling for such a waste of breath. Glancing up as Flora rises to her feet, her mind razor sharp even after the considerable number of drinks in quick succession, Jack also gets up stiffly once she's finished, fixing the cuff of his shirt and brushing the frost from his fingertips.
"I think," he says slowly, echoing Mateo and gesturing for the botanist to keep his seat, since he is, after all, a Taliesin in all of this, "it would be better if I was the one who made myself scarce. Clearly this is a family matter." And much as he would thoroughly enjoy hearing Flora continue to tear strips off her father, Jack has suddenly lost his appetite for it.
