there exists a tipping point between gods and monsters
Falling quiet to listen - both to Flora's comments and the conversation she feeds him through her thoughts - Jack scoffs and shakes his head once she's finished. "You're right, though," he says. "We're always on the defensive. Family members poppin' up to kill us or chip into our conversations. It's about time all our strongest went and pinned one of 'em down. They're good at makin' us feel scattered to the wind."
Drawing Flora flush against his side as he feels the cadence of her emotions turn prickly and sharp, Jack sighs and nods gently. "I'd already considered that," he admits - not that he likes it any. "I wonder if you an' Mateo might get somethin' to protect you from Family members? It'd be like takin' the shackles off your fathers."
As for his own plans, Jack lets out a soft laugh and inclines his head to her. "By all means," he drawls. "But my most conniving plans are best shared over some good liquor, so I'll tell you once we're back in civilisation if it's all the same to you."
