JACK

"Seems so," Jack rumbles to Nova, falling almost unnervingly still at the kiss she smooches against his cheek, before he's corralling himself to the safety of having the bar between himself and the youths. Apparently even here he's not going to be entirely alone, though, and as 'Jeff' the wine spider is plonked tipsily down to join him, the captain merely shrugs a shoulder, pours the arachnid a shot of liquor, and gets on with it.

Having poured himself a drink, offered a quiet nod to Hadama and attempted (failingly) to wipe the glittering kiss mark from his cheek, only at a familiar crackle of unhappy thought does Jack turn to face the prickly looking dragoon in his ridiculous suit. Vesper and Nova are already chirping up, the captain-turned-bartender surrendering whatever sweet monstrosity she'd like to the latter before he inclines his head to Kaisel.

"Sure am," he rumbles. "What can I get you? White lightnin'? A dark 'n' stormy? Ride the lightnin'? All sorts of cocktails I can prob'ly whip up back here."

Alas, he doesn't even give Kai the courtesy of his full attention, because soon enough Theea has sidled up to the bar, and he glances across at her with a raise of a brow and a swift nod. "Never forget a face that's helped feed my crew," he drawls, grabbing a glass and fussing with a few of the bottles before setting a crisp whiskey sour on the counter for her. "A classic, but it'll knock you on your ass if you enjoy it too much."
