JACK
"I know." Jack's voice is quiet and blunt, his eyes still on the sky as he thinks he manages to spot the shape of his ship, safe from an assault by dragons and blessedly close enough for him to get to. He knows it had been a cowardly thing to do and he knows he'd deserved better - yes, even Jack Barclay deserves better when it comes to being dared to love someone enough that he'd believed it could be real.
"Yeah, I don't care, and I don't forgive you." He doesn't quite cut off her apology before she does it herself, but the timing makes it sound that way, Jack ducking back in through the window with his back to Flora and her tears. "You did what you did, now live with it. And if you see me again, do us both a favour and pretend you fuckin' didn't. You've taken enough from me without wastin' more of my time."
Straightening up and pretending that this minute long meeting hasn't reopened every wound he thought had finally stopped bleeding, Jack brushes his fingers across the compass rose inked into his wrist, and promptly disappears.
