JACK
Bully for me, Jack almost drawls, but with his agreement with Vesper clanging around in his mind, he holds his tongue enough for Nova to demonstrate her growing mastery over water magic with the glass of rum he hands to her. Raising his eyebrows and looking appropriately (dryly) impressed, the captain inclines his head. "You'll be makin' ice castles rather'n sand castles at this rate," he remarks.
Not bothering to hide his smirk to see her face scrunch up like ball of glittery tissue paper, Jack is about to reach out to take the rum back when he senses her thoughts mellow, melting from disgust to reluctant appreciation and then to genuine enjoyment. "Looks like you're a white rum gal. Just needed to find your drink," he says, reaching back to collect another cup of liquor from the fountain - and it's a wonder, honestly, why everyone in Torchline isn't wasted all day everyday.
"Mm, that's the point," he says of Murphy who, despite the crowing of the other sailors, waves them off and nudges Bassian to get back to his feet, content with his victory. "He's my first mate, an' I wouldn't cross him." Even if I could beat him too he thinks privately, before glancing to Nova. "You can be my guest though," he says, gesturing to the now empty space where Bassian had been standing.
