Vesper’s brow lifts slightly at that, something faintly incredulous flickering through his expression at the idea that she’d like anything, though it settles as Jack elaborates, the specifics giving him something more solid to work with. He exhales through his nose, a quiet, conceding sound, and nods once. "Got it," he says, the earlier edge smoothing into something more thoughtful, because for all the flippancy of apologizing to her for his boyish nocturnal activities that he’d wrapped around it a moment ago, he understands—more than most—what this is, what she is, what she means. He’s felt enough through Jack’s mind to know this isn’t something to treat lightly, and certainly not something he wants to fuck up.

He picks up his glass as if expecting more from it, turning it once in his fingers before setting it back down with a soft, unimpressed tap. "Nah," he says after a beat, leaning back slightly, easy but decided. "Few days’ll be more than enough."
