JACK
He lets her explore to her heart's content - it isn't as though Jack is shy (laughable), and it's something new for him, too, to feel her mind join the dots between what had once been understood only by whispers of sensation to the new and full spectrum of human experience. He's about to catch her hand over his chest, not knowing quite why, when it comes up to swat him instead, and the Captain scoffs out a laugh and releases her so she can sink and sprawl down into the sand.
Jack is slow to follow, but he does follow in the end, leaning back on one hand to gaze down at her as the waves continue to tug at their feet and their calves. "Then that's the name you'll keep," he says agreeably, before glancing down at her with blue eyes set aglow by the morning sunshine. "The last thing I want to do is to hide you," he tells her, though the smile that curls across his lips contains both warmth and darkness.
"The more people know who an' what you are, though, the more dangerous things'll get. There'll be people who want you for themselves. People who want to get rid of you. People who'll want to hurt you just to get at me. So if you want to keep yourself hidden, I won't stop you." But if she doesn't, his smile says, then those people will have one helluva time trying to get to her.
