When enemies are at your door, I'll carry you way from war
Kaisel offers Jack a single glance, which is more for his own knowledge of the man's location than anything pretending to be a polite greeting. The unhurried shuffle of his words around his chewtoy and the lazy way he dangles over the edge of his ship speak to the casual embrace the Captain is taking of this whole affair, which is—Flora, Kaisel reminds himself, jaw flexing as his attention rolls pointedly back to her.
He drags in a steadying breath through his nose and lets it coast off his tongue long and slow as he recenters himself. Gradually his gaze peels from the woman beside him to the goddess that materializes, watching the night sky adorn her as she takes a moment to mark each of them. He didn't expect to stand before her so soon to solidify another vow, least of all with the current company, but this is their best path forward. It's for this reason that Kaisel does not balk at the approaching star that comes his way.
For someone who takes promises rather seriously, even without the interference of a god, it goes against most of his instincts to merely agree. It's something binding, and that deserves the full attention of understanding, but he hasn't heard the terms yet. Ordinarily, he'd refuse to do shit before at least knowing that, but they had talked this over in advance, so he doesn't leave room for doubt to harbor in his chest. He glances back over at Flora, holding her steady in his gaze as he trusts that she's accomplished what they needed. She would not lead them astray, and she would do everything to the best of her abilities to keep them whole and safe, so he does not need to verify the work she's put in for this. Kaisel reaches out and touches the star.

Kaisel
If you need help, I'll shut down the city lights
Wearing a watery blue, faded and stretched-out sparkling hair tie on his left wrist
