"Don't say it like that," Jack says with a petulant scrunch of his nose. Neutered. Ugh. Still, if Flora is right, he supposes he could use that to his advantage one way or another. As for the mageglass, he can only raise his eyebrows at that, a mixture of quiet shock and - yes - love on his face at the Doubletake's ability to consistently get her hands on very rare items as if it's an everyday occurrence.

"You don't need to tell me - I can hear you loud and clear," he drawls to her, smirking and, yes, ignoring her thoughts on the matter as well to grab hold of the bedpost and persuade himself into standing. "Bold of you to assume I didn't already have one. I deal with a lot of ropes day to day," the idiot who needs to stay in bed points out, though they both know that Jack's fetish is whatever Flora's happens to be at the time.

The idea of having the ocean beneath them and a sea breeze in The Ark's sails is enough to put fresh steel into the captain's gaze, even if he doesn't look as if he'll make it across the room by himself, let alone up to his ship. "That's a good idea. Let's do that," he decides.
