you must burn brighter than ever
Having known Jack for as long as she did, at least on employee and boss basis, Melita should’ve figured the petty ex rounds were incoming. But maybe she just figured, with all that relationship stuff they’d gone through, he wouldn’t be quite so shitty. She’d been very wrong, obviously, based on Flora’s story, eyes also going comically wide before she gave a huff of a breath, chucking another rock in with a little more force behind it. “It probably won’t solve anything, but it'd feel pretty good for a second.” Unless the Doubletake went for the heart or the head, or even his balls, but eh.
As for flying better, she tilted her head. “I could help, but honestly all I do is go fast and suck at landing.” Which was an honest admission, shrugging her shoulders through it. “But there’s a lot of open water to try it on, and some nicer shores that maybe the Ark won’t be in.” Unless he was intentionally following her, which she wouldn’t put past the Captain.
Hadama’s manta lectures, and then the other portions revealed, made Melita wonder if this was some new kind of torture device. “Gods all mighty – no thank you. What do you say in response?” Maybe she informed him of all her relationship drama. She couldn’t see him sitting through that willingly. Then she chucked another pile of rocks into the bucket, noticing how it was nearly to the brim with some sublime satisfaction.
