JACK
"Little too busy for duck huntin' these days," Jack says apologetically, though having made plenty of chaotic decisions with Mel in the past (singing sea shanties and playing marco polo, anyone?), if something does occur that he might find amusing, she can trust he'll show his face. Especially if the next game of dodgeball involves cannons, yes.
If he's surprised that his response hasn't garnered further barbs or flares of temper, he does his best not to show it, Jack instead adjusting his stance to lean more casually against the railing, extending his bubble of magic to encompass Melita and keep her dry while they continue to chit-chat.
"Well," he says, "we've more or less settled in King's End for now. Ain't as much to work with on the smugglin' front as in Torchline, but Sunjata's crooked as fuck when he wants to be, so I've been makin' some deals with him. Gonna turn some of the hold in the Ark into a bar, since I won't need all that space." He raises his eyebrows towards Mel with a smirk, as if to tell her she's more than welcome to help if she feels like it on that front.
"An' I've been thinkin' of stealin' from pirates," he adds offhandedly, laughing under his breath. "There's a certain irony in piratin' them back, y'know?" And most people mistake him for one anyway, so why the fuck not?
