JACK
Jack shouldn't be surprised by Flora's offer - every word between them has been leading up to it - but he still finds himself gazing, puzzled, into his half cup of coffee, as if expecting one of those infamous blades of hers to lance down and skewer the back of his hand. He takes a beat or two before giving a slow nod, itching at the scruff on his chin. "It'd be easier to get through Longheat," he admits.
Inhaling a slow breath and committing to draining the rest of his coffee cup, he snorts softly and gestures to ask whether she plans on eating her breakfast or if she wants to cut straight to threatening him with a knife. "I trust you 'bout as much as I always did to have a blade near my throat," he quips back with a half smile curling across his lips. And she can take that as a compliment however she decides to interpret it.
"Ready when you are."
