JACK
"You - ow - never asked!" Jack quips back, in what is probably the most mannish response he's ever given her, which is saying something given how he can usually curate himself and his words to whatever situation suits. "Let me win?" he adds belatedly, mildly affronted to learn that Flora would let him do anything, but amused nevertheless as he draws her flush against him and resists the urge to roll over again, this time to draw her atop him. They've a ship to sink, and all that.
"I've no doubt he did. But that's the point - Pierce did it, not you." Shrugging and finally sitting himself up, Jack has to spend a moment hitching his pants back up and fastening them before he shifts towards the edge of the bed. Glancing back at Flora as she mentions finding something to cover the evidence of her own death, his expression is one of genuine confusion, and he leans back to brush his lips across her scarred shoulder.
"Scars are sexy," he reminds her, rolling to his feet and stretching his arms above his head, his back releasing a crackle that has him swearing softly.
