JACK
"S'pose that just means I'll have to come back another time an' try it out," Jack reasons with an easy shrug of his shoulders; the words are simple, likely because he'd have said them even if they were just in the realm of fucking and not thinking about the future. "And good - if they can be bribed, they can be reasoned with," he decides of the future-spirits of Flora's house. (And the image she conjures in her mind's eye is all too accurate).
But then she's settling in against him, and although her mind is going a mile a minute at first, it's a familiar sort of overthinking that turns into white noise in the end; before Jack knows it, he's dropped off as well, letting sleep drag him under for a while.
How long a while ends up being is something he'll have to figure out later. They're still in the air when he awakens, as far as he knows, the captain having rolled over in his sleep to clutch Flora back against his chest, his arm tucked beneath the pillow. Blinking slowly into the light of the cabin, he lets out a long sight and lifts his hand to rub at his eyes.
