I need you like god needs the devil, honey
Vesper takes a slow, measured breath and fixes his cool gaze on Jack. Without his usual shields in place, his thoughts spill unguarded: a raw mix of protective fury, quiet resolve, and a sickly lack of experience when it comes to navigating these sorts of waters. "It ain't about maturity, I'm just not a moron" he drawls, shoving his hands into his pockets as he fiddles absently with a matchstick to keep his fingers busy.
"Offerin' you a ring to smooth the waters early is one thing, but goin' around and bribin' any idiot who looks at the girls sideways ain't a precedent I really want to set." Vesper murmurs. "And since she's on your crew.." Vesper pauses. It isn't easy for him to ask for help, least of all when it feels like he's groping blind without the usual confirmation he's come to rely on from the thoughts of those he's talking to. Then again, mayhap having daddy fight his battles for him is the wrong way of going about this—and though this won't be the first time the demigod finds himself at a loss for what to do next—but Vesper is looking for advice as much as for Jack's support.
"Hearin' it from you might go farther with someone like her, but I get if..." If Jack wasn't willing to have his name or rank aboard the Ark used as a shield for the Marins.
