JACK
"When you say it like that it sounds shitty, yeah," Jack says with a smirk, having been able to put a fraction of distance between himself and the mess of his relationship with the Doubletake now; enough, evidently, to be able to joke about it a bit. Still, as he senses the change in Vesper; subtle, dangerous, but nonetheless evident in the oh-so-casual tone of his voice, the Captain lets all other threads of conversation die.
He can't stop the wrinkle of his nose, though, at the immediate thought of ruling anywhere in an official capacity. "No," he says plainly, because there's no advantage in drawing it out. "There were so many opportunities to be Torchline's governor, but I never took 'em. It's one thing to be some underworld kingpin - it's another to have to go beggin' for regional shit from the gods an' to attend tedious leadership meetin's."
But he can guess at what the boy is getting at, Jack arching an eyebrow towards him. "Between you an' your sisters though, you probably got what it takes."
