No guarantees, but I won't deny that havin' a map like that'll put a lot of minds at ease." A lot meaning Flora's, mainly, but they both know that without needing to say it out loud.

Biting at the inside of his cheek to keep his expression neutral as he's all but assaulted by the Bastion's mental response to what he says, Jack inhales slowly through his nose and tries not to pass comment, however tempting it might be to pretend he'd seen it written all over Remi's face. He's got nothing but admiration for the method, in truth - both men are aligned in how they'd like to treat Pierce given the chance, after all.

"Noted," Jack says instead, reaching for his glass as well and following suit, downing the liquor smoothly. "And appreciated," he adds quietly. "As for you, I know you demigods reckon you got the be all and end all of the world on your shoulders. But if you need info, or work doin' that you got no time or resources for... you know where I am."
