JACK
"That all? Well, fast I can do, an' you'll get plenty of views of King's End when we leave, an' the Greatwood when we land." Jack offers a roguish little half-bow. All in a day's work for this fine criminal. Caly departs soon after that, Murphy nodding back to her in greeting and pointing out places where she can help to keep ropes coiled and out of the way when the crew adjust the rigging, and also things that might (but shouldn't) go sliding about as they ascend.
As for Nova, Jack is gazing flatly across to the hybrid the moment she bounces in front of him, his hands on the wheel almost proprietary. "No." He smiles. "At least, not yet when we're gettin' skybound. Go swab a deck or scrub a board, then we'll talk." Once they're straight and steady and unlikely to go plummeting towards the ground, he means.
And unless there are any further complaints (even then, unlikely he's listening), the Captain whistles through his teeth and calls out the orders to get them into the sky. Rising into the air as if plucked from the sea by Safrin herself, The Ark's sails trail starlight as they snap open, dazzling onlookers below and creating choppy waves in her wake.
