there exists a tipping point between gods and monsters
"You thought that speakin' to Hadama, as ramrod straight as it gets, Deimos who is more soldier than man, and Sunjata, rebellion incarnate, would entertain an idea that doesn't let 'em wave weapons and run into glory and danger?" Jack can't help but bark out a laugh at that, though he squeezes Flora's fingers between his own, as if to say he does appreciate that it wouldn't have been an easy meeting by any stretch of the imagination.
Scrunching his nose as she continues about Ronin's infection - and its presentation - Jack huffs out a breath and shakes his head. "Well, however long it's been, let's hope it's somethin' reversed sooner rather than later. I know your dear old dad ain't much use when it comes to actual war when it comes to these particular enemies, but he's a safety net we could really do with keepin' hold of."
The same sort of safety net that he offers so effortlessly out towards Flora before he even properly realises he's done it, something that surprises both of them as the tide of shock and delight wash over him from her thoughts. "...Yeah. If you change your mind, though," he says slowly, quickly sequestering the feather back away and flashing her a quick smirk, as if to move swiftly past the moment of sweetness on his part.
"I prefer daring and cunning, thank you," he quips. "Though I s'pose it can be argued that my plans might look stupid to the uninitated."
