JACK

Conceding the point if only because Flora's persistence has inevitably won out against Jack's interest, the captain is already considering accidentally adding some liquor to this batch of cinnamon rolls when the Doubletake's thoughts burst into full bloom. Oh indeed, Jack turning back to the counter - though not without a brief glance over his shoulder at her - and not bothering to hide the smile that remains curled across his lips.

"That's a real long-winded way of sayin' you're done helpin'," he quips to her, and though the spirals of gold and lilac in her mind threaten to have him up in more ways than one, he dutifully returns to the work at hand. Whether Flora will find it easier or more difficult to maintain her composure while Jack manhandles the dough isn't something he can control, though rest assured, his mind remains sharp to find out which.

With a sprinkle of flour and a rolling pin in hand, he manipulates and rolls out the ball of dough into a square, turning to grab Flora's cinnamon sugar to spread it across the surface in a layer. That done, he carefully rolls it up and deftly slices through it, creating perfect little whirls of sweetness. "Well?" he asks. "You gonna grade me?"
