JACK
Jack's nose scrunches automatically as Flora rattles off her list, which is just short of a pout in the captain's emotional vocabulary, and he settles on a roll of his eyes in the end. "The vast majority of which I accomplish via sailin'," he finishes for her, batting a hand at her imaginary numbers towards his imaginary magic. "It still amazes me how many people label me someone's father, though. You'd think I went around beltin' it from the heavens."
It borders on obsessive in people's thoughts, he finds, the second they learn about the Marin kids, despite Jack never having used the term himself. (Much to Nova's chagrin, but we can't always get what we want).
Given that it's much easier to keep moving rather than to linger around on the frozen rock - mageglass or no mageglass - Jack starts to head back for the stone staircase he'd created, heading back up towards the Sugartide's main deck. "Ah, yeah. The great cleanse," he recalls, only to pause in his footsteps to gaze over his shoulder at her.
I wanted to get some for you.
Because of course she did.
"Havin' been in Deimos's mind, he ain't impressed with much," he says with a faint smirk, hopping back aboard and holding out a hand to help Flora step over the rail. And then, unexpectedly, he scoffs out a laugh. "Shut up," he drawls, his tone etched with playfulness. "An' don't knock the power of a giant piece of mageglass, either. Anyway, what's so special about the new hotspring, other'n it bein' new?"
