i want to taste you again
Wincing at the bite of pain that lances through Flora's mind and into Jack's, the captain doesn't block her out so much as he muffles some of the conflict he can sense; it won't do to have everyone tying themselves in knots in this conversation. (And look how easy it is for him to be logical when he's not drunk on birthday liquor). "I wonder if he'd bring 'em back even if you did, after this," he says quietly, though the scrunch of his nose suggests that the Knight would absolutely be that selfless, even to his own detriment.
The subject of his being a bastard or Flora not being marriage material both skirt the line of Mateo's Forbidden Topics, and so Jack, perhaps wisely, doesn't mention them, instead letting his arm stretch around her as he settles on his back against the pillows, frowning up at the canopy of her bed. "Hm? Not directly, no," he says with a shake of his head. "In passin', at events and meetings and shit like that. I don't think we ever spoke, though."
