there exists a tipping point between gods and monsters
"Ah, but remember, Flora - you're their little girl and you only deserve the best." Which, y'know, admirable for any father to consider, but when it's paired with constantly barraging Jack with thoughts about his own inadequacy, y'know... keep it to yourself. "It'd have been different if they were the ones out here with you. Or whatever prince charmin' they approved of."
It must be a commonplace gesture these days, not just because of how quiet Flora's mind is compared to how it used to be, but because they manage to navigate the uneven ground of the forest without any difficulty, despite how the Doubletake is glued to his side. "Listen, once we get back to the ship that part won't even be a lie," he adds, because fuck this place.
"Well, with that giant they should be eatin' good enough to leave us out of it," he reasons, picking up his pace for good measure until the trees do start to thin out, Jack letting out a sigh of relief at the vague shape of The Ark that appears in the distance.
