JACK
"Mm, especially when someone's handin' it to you. People tend to think a lot about it," Jack says with a scoff, finally shifting enough to roll onto his back and stretch, though he doesn't go far enough to suggest he's creating purposeful distance. It's comfortable, the way they move around one another, and he knows by now that wherever The Ark wants to be in relation to him, she'll simply be. "Though I dunno," he adds, muttering the words around a slow smirk, "I can applaud creativity sometimes. Breaks up the days a bit."
The picture she paints of careful manoeuvring of other ships is enough to soften his smile into something quietly pleased; it might not seem like much on the outside, but gods know what ripples a drop in the ocean like that might make. "Could arrange a few meetin's aboard other ships to sell the point," he adds; between them it's certainly something they could accomplish, and rumours would do the rest.
He glances sidelong at her as he feels her mind parse through the possibilities of a more personal bit of gossip like a deck of cards, and he scoffs out a laugh at the mere prospect of actually crashing the Hot Take's wedding. "Y'know, I can't imagine anythin' more tedious," he admits. "Especially considerin' how much of a sittin' duck Torchline's gonna be with its ruler - and it's Very Special Demigods - all off throwin' confetti."
And if there's the additional whisper of another wedding at the same time? So be it. Tipping her a wink, Jack gestures to The Ark's hands and the plenty of space for more rings. "You did say you wanted to get a few more decorations, too."
