JACK
"Don't mistake me, Flora," Jack says quietly, his fingers going loose to let her recall her dagger with ease without splitting the skin on his fingertips. "I'm angrier than I've been in a long, long time. And I've been angry for so long that it just looks like indifference, 'cause now it's the default. But if you really wanna see my temper, I'll happily show it to you." Pausing to take a final drag on his cigarette before crushing it underfoot, Jack absently shakes away the frost on his fingertips as if it's a newly formed habit.
"Good," he adds to her admission of worry, the word as sharp as her dagger had been. "Maybe you felt a tiny fraction of what I did when you sent Sohalia to shove a letter into my fuckin' hands." There's no sidestepping her in the skinny jumble of boards and floatng stalls, no brushing past her without one of them ending up in the water, so Jack merely gestures for her to either start walking or to back up and get out of his way.
"If you really don't know why, this conversation is happenin' far too late for me to try'n explain it to you."

no more than I was or than I want to be
when you fall on me like night, I wanna kill the lights
