JACK
"I," Jack says, quiet and dangerously calm by this point, "am gonna do whatever I have to, in order to keep you safe. An' if I thought that joinin' forces with Dahlia would do that, I would. But I don't. We're not part of the family, however they wanna phrase it, an' we never will be. We're either tools to be used until we're spent up, or we're in the way. So I plan to be right in the way." He shrugs his shoulders.
Relaxing unconsciously as the hostility seems to calm somewhat in Flora's mind, smoothing down its sharp edges even if he's by no means under the assumption that he's out of these proverbial woods, Jack heaves a sigh. "An' that's still your choice," he says - because two things can be true at once, annoyingly enough. "An' if it's what you wanna do, I won't stop you. I just don't expect you to stop me either."
