JACK

Well, luckily for Flora - and in large part thanks to her - Jack has become increasingly fashionable as the seasons pass, and with enough practice it will likely become second nature. Perhaps the Doubletake might take a leaf out of his book when it comes to being more careful? The captain doubts it, but as she rightly says (well, thinks), it's not impossible. "I'd appreciate that," he drawls.

Accepting the rum back from her the moment she offers it, Jack's pull from the bottle is not as measured, and though he can already feel the effects of the liquor in the lightness of his limbs and the way it's becoming easier by degrees to answer Flora's questions, he doesn't plan on stopping until the bottle is empty. "I know," he mumbles through a sigh, one that warps into a dry laugh at her follow up remark. "Everyone's got their issues, love."

Daddy issues, daddy issues, chaos junkie, mommy issues--

Blinking back down at Flora as her words fade into thoughts, Jack is seized by the sudden urge to slip her rings back onto her fingers. He doesn't, of course, but his answer feels like something she should know is true. "I fuckin' hope so, Flora," he mutters. "I hate bein' like this. More now than ever."
