JACK
In ordinary circumstances, Jack might have raised his eyebrows as if to say are you sure? as Vesper declares himself not a moron; alas, the mood is ruined by the whole near-death situation Nova had gotten herself into. Humming a soft sigh as the boy continues, both in voice and thought, the captain falls quiet to mull it over and sort the individual threads of this suddenly tangled web he's certain Melita has no idea she's become involved in.
"Let me talk to her. If nothin' else, she's at risk of pissin' Safrin off. Not that your temper ain't due it's credit, kid, but as Ludo's demigod, I got a feelin' that'll fly a little higher than you squarin' up on your sister's behalf." Clapping Vesper on the shoulder, he nods towards the Honeybee. "You're welcome to stay here or come and lurk," he says, knowing the boy has plenty of tricks up his sleeves to remain unseen if he needs to.
With that done, Jack sets off across the festival and whistles to get Melita's attention. "Hey," he calls. "Bring your liquor - we gotta talk about a thing."
