JACK
"That's all you've got to say?" Jack's voice is hoarse, the words slow as if he's got to think hard about them to get them in the right order, the captain's arm trembling as he pushes against the counter to gingerly straighten up. The morning sunlight feels cold and drab compared to the heights of sensation he's just reached, the colour of the sea beyond the window seeming a tired, pointless blue rather than the jewelled vibrance he's used to.
Still panting for breath as he carefully releases the Doubletake and steps back, to say that Jack is unsteady on his feet is an understatement, and he scrubs a hand across his face as if it might help. "A bath," he corrects, having no intention of staying standing for even a moment longer than he has to. "Then bed." To hell with their half finished baking - it will still be there when they get back.
Already shedding his clothes - the little he'd pulled on before coming downstairs - as he pads up towards the bathroom, Flora will find Jack strangely subdued, like a man unexpectedly woken from a deep sleep and left in a daze. He's at least still able to remember how to work taps, though, and the sound of running water and the scent of lavender and ylang-ylang soon fill the air, beckoning her to join him.
