i just wanna be a good passenger

JACK

A girl is on the right track if that's what trying entails, Jack raising his eyebrows at Flora and leaving it at that, especially if she's decided she'd like to surprise him with such a thing. Well - as much as anyone can surprise the captain, though she does have that handy ring to rely on to some extent. And, case in point, distraction works wonders too. "Mm?" Finding the cigarette gone from between his lips, such has been his focus on Ronin, Jack scoffs and sighs out the rest of the smoke he'd inhaled.

"How else am I meant to know if the Ark is about to get covered in dragonfire? I reckon your dear old dad would do it for less than catchin' you flirtin' with me." And me enjoying it. Luckily, it appears the Knight has contented himself with catching sharks to eat and is circling the ship as a mere wink in the sky above.

His head dips reflexively as her fingernails dance up the back of his neck and into his hairline, and though Flora's thoughts might still be flirtatious, he doubts either of them will be up to the task right now even with their healing sped up by her new ring. "Came close to what? Readin' the future I've got right now?"
