JACK
"Wouldn't expect anythin' less, honestly," Jack remarks, making sure the jar of memory mud he's procured isn't about to uncap itself and crawl out before he shifts to step back from the riverbank. The jar disappears into a satchel slung over his shoulder, calloused hands wiping moss and water away on his pants. So, Vesper says, and the Captain raises an eyebrow over his shoulder as if wondering what the end of that sentence is about to be, and whether he's going to like it.
What the boy says, though, is probably better than he could have put it himself. "That's the hope I reckon, yeah," he says, scoffing under his breath. "It'd be real fucked up if the soul of my ship grew legs an' the first thing she did was walk away from me, huh." Fucked up but not all that improbable, a nasty little part of him whispers.
As for if The Ark would be worth it - worth it over getting Flora back? At that, Jack's laugh is little more than an undignified snort. "There's no gettin' her back, Vesper," he says, moving to lurk under the shade of the tree beside Vesper. "Even if there was, I don't want her back. She told me what she thought with a shitty bit of paper. I ain't chasin' someone who thinks so little of me - I ain't much when it comes to relationships but I got more dignity than that."
