JACK
Jack busies his hands in rolling and lighting a cigarette as he feels Flora's mind wake up to the possibility of everything he's just told her - and everything he hasn't, including things he doesn't think he needs to say, but that she'll likely ask for anyway. "You and I both know I'd not have started this conversation if I could do that, love," he murmurs, drawing on the cigarette and tapping the ash into a tray at the corner of the desk.
"She asked the price for another kid - one to replace Seren, apparently, to right some cosmic imbalance." Which, he thinks, might be a crock of shit, but he'd also been in no fit state at the time to say anything but nice nebulas you got there, and very pert they are too. "I agreed, and she..." He gestures vaguely. "She did all the things you might expect a goddess to do to get my attention."
Sighing and rubbing at his forehead, he slouches back with the smoke back between his lips. "And she tried to offer the same thing just now in the shrine. I told her no."
