scene of the crime

JACK

Rolling his eyes in a gesture that's much more agreeable than it is sarcastic, Jack inclines his head in acknowledgement even if he's loathe to admit that Remi has a good point. "Well, I'll spread the word, let Flora know as well. That way if I can't get an answer from the gods, maybe someone else'll have a little more luck." And whoever manages to petition Caido's deities will have a flank of people waiting to help fulfil the necessary requirements, at least.

Eyeing Remi right back as he feels the other man's gaze on him, Jack is unable to hide the brief smirk that curls across his lips; of course he'd be uneasy, even in the face of an unexpected ally. (Just like Jack). Also feeling that more liquor wouldn't be in his best interest, the captain instead gets to his feet with a wince he's getting quite practiced at hiding. "That's fine with me. More of a breakfast guy, myself," he says, stepping away from the table.

"Best of luck out there," he says, meaning of course the venture up to Stormbreak, and though they aren't nearly at the point where he might offer a clap on the shoulder, the nod he gives Remi before he departs is as much respect as the captain is likely to give anyone.
