i want to taste you again
"Scrappy?" Jack raises his eyebrows, but he accepts it; Flora is the one who has met him, after all. "Least you know he's real now. Maybe you can go back again an' see him when the sun comes up." Ghosts don't pass out or eat soup or make mageglass jewellery, or so they say. Speaking of which, the captain glances again at the box on the bedside table, only to have his attention directed back up to Flora's face.
Furrowing his brow to feel her withdraw, in mind if not in body, he reaches up to press a calloused hand over her own. "You ever considered that it ain't just you who feels like you're not enough?" he asks in a low voice. Ever the arrogant and cocky bastard of Torchline, only here in the quiet privacy of Flora's bedroom might he admit to such a thing, but with all the Doubletake has done for him echoing through her thoughts, it's enough to have anyone questioning the reason behind her selfless generosity.
"I love you," he murmurs into the fraction of space between their lips, his free hand running along her upper thigh. "I know I still ain't great at showin' it. But that doesn't make it untrue."
