JACK

Jack gives Vesper the good grace of privacy even from his prying eyes as he sorts through whatever thorny mess of thought and emotion the news had brought with it. The Captain has, unfortunately, become quite intimately acquainted with matters like this, and perhaps he has a wild redhead to thank for the calmer waters of his thoughts (he does), but either way he doesn't lift his gaze from his iced over glass until Vesper speaks once again.

And he scoffs, shrugging his shoulders. "Even if she has, reckon some good news'll have her forgettin' all about it again," he says. That good news being, obviously, that Vesper will soon be in the same region as the rest of his family. At the question, Jack gestures back towards the village and the skyport like it's a matter long settled. "I'll make room," he says. "Though, there's someone you ought'a be aware of 'fore you step aboard."

Here it really is easier to open his mind to the demigod, because trying to explain the depth of his relationship with The Ark, her separation from rigging and sail and hull and everything she is and can feel is beyond even Jack's silver tongue. And so he parts his mind like a curtain, allowing The Ark as she is now - ship and woman and everything in between - to flood through like a rogue wave.

no more than I was or than I want to be
when you fall on me like night, I wanna kill the lights
