JACK
see me falling
yeah, down and lonely
yeah, down and lonely
"You're right - there are a lot of good reasons. The main one was that I'd also be tryin' to sleep beside you though," Jack says with a wry smile and a gentle raise of his brow. "I can't very well stand guard over you if I wanna be anythin' like well-rested at the same time." Not unless they started sleeping in shfits, missing a good deal of the time they'd otherwise spend together in wakefulness.
As for whether Flora would have been terrified, her younger self and her twin bobbing around on the Arclight towards the endless Maw, the captain can only shrug his shoulders with a smaller, more private smile. With their luck they'd have encountered a pod of encantado and been absolutely fine, but he doesn't say that, especially not as Flora's thoughts threaten to grow spikes.
"It'll work out," he says with all the confidence of a man who, no, has never been moored enough to anyone to feel the wounds of that broken trust. A half truth, honestly; he's certainly tethered to Flora in that way now, but she, thus far, has never given him reason to doubt her. Not even now, arguably at her worst.
It's with those final words ghosting into the air and the morning light beginning to warm them that Jack falls silent again, waiting patiently for the Doubletake to decide she's ready to face the day.
