JACK

On the contrary - whatever Remi knows, Jack will know as well depending on how much he wants to think about during this conversation, but the fact that the Bastion decides to be candid is both a welcome surprise and an advantage when it comes to making any sorts of plans. With his rum abandoned now on the table, the captain sits up a fraction, and if anything some of the tension in his body melts away in the face of a common purpose, a shared enemy.

"So I s'pose cornerin' this guy and takin' it back ain't an option?" He asks it rather than assumes it. "I know your beau wears his honour like a cape, but you could always fight dirty." A group of demigods against one member of The Family is likely to cause at least a bit of trouble of Pierce, he thinks. "Then again, I guess that hinges on him not callin' for reinforcements."

Which goes for Pierce and for Dahlia as it happens, given that she's the next subject of conversation. "Even caught unawares, a woman like that will be ready for it," Jack says slowly. "Does his plan go much beyond confrontation? With respect, I just got murdered as a consequence of Flora doin' somethin' she disapproved of, so if it goes tits up, your family will be collateral."
