JACK
Jack takes her thoughts entirely in stride, because there's merit to all of them; rumours, by an large, lean towards a kernel of truth in his experience, but if that's the case they're better off chasing them down on land than playing hide and seek with invisible ships on the water. "Huh," he says, narrowing his eyes a fraction as further details tumble out. "I know my share of brigantines. Been a long while since I was here to know the dirty details, though."
That will change in time, of course, but for now it's a matter of watching, waiting and listening hard - hopefully before cannons are fired from invisible gunports. "Might be worth another visit to the Tide and Tonic soon," he adds; if any captains are going to own - or know someone who owns - a ship like that, the underground bar will have seen them at some point. As for Safrin, Jack's grin is sharp and indulgent.
"Oh, probably," he says with a nod. "Though in my experience we'd be better off askin' for it ourselves. You never know - maybe it wasn't Safrin who gave the quest, mm?"
