JACK

Humming his non-commital agreement - yes, he knows she knows it already, and he knows she enjoys giving gifts in general - Jack has nonetheless never been all that good at receiving them. Items received as payment, bribery, or to hold up a deal or a bargain? Those things he has no issue accepting. But presents just because? She can't read his thoughts, but the quietly stormy look on his face is evidence enough of them, even as he flexes his hand to cause the new mageglass ring on his finger to twinkle.

Opting to actually shut up about it this time as he's told to, the captain slips an arm back around Flora to draw her back against his side, brushing his nose against hers and leaning in to punctuate the sentiment with a slow kiss. Only as he draws back does he feel even remotely ready to face the day, inhaling a slow, deep breath that smells of freshly brewed coffee.

"Gettin' coffee and makin' breakfast doesn't count as bein' spoiled," he decides, flashing her a crooked smile and getting his elbows beneath him to sit up, stretching enough to have his back crackling deliciously. His movements are slow and leisurely, at odds with their usual mornings on The Ark - there's nothing to check and no orders to give, and the only thing Jack is responsible for is finding a pair of pants to pull on.
