"If he'd seen you he might've taken a likin' to you, an' then where would we be?" Another question Jack doesn't know the answer to, and he wrinkles his nose as the potential outcomes flicker in his mind's eye before fading again. "Rest assured, even if he didn't see you, I'm sure he felt your presence." And your fucking blades, with any luck.

Scoffing at her next remark, the captain glances up towards his deck where Bassian's strapping silhouette can be seen hefting two large crates, one beneath each of his arms, towards the hold. "Have him for the evenin' if you like. You can braid each other's hair, wear matchin' pajamas, that sort of thing." He knows the tall man's thoughts, and he knows that he'd absolutely not be adverse to it.

Jack's smile fades in time with the way Flora's thoughts grow more sober, his brow furrowing, and though he doesn't glance across at the Doubletake, the weight of his gaze is still evident. "Y'know, if that's the case... why not sneak into Haulani while you're invisible and find somewhere secret to hole up? You'd be safe, you could be invisible if you needed to go out in the streets." He nods at The Sugar Tide. "Sure we could keep an eye on her if you wanted, too."
