JACK
"Must be. Better take it easy the rest of the day just in case." The joke is entirely ruined by the sly look in his blue eyes, because Jack can count the days he's taken it easy on the fingers of one hand, and considering their arrival back in Torchline, today isn't likely to add to that number.
Entirely unsurprised that Kaisel hadn't realised there was a shark circling the waters where he'd been swimming, the Captain nevertheless snorts a laugh at the entirely perfect metaphor The Ark paints: a boy scout in a man's body indeed. "Maybe he'll spot you again one of these days, try to save you from some other entirely fabricated disaster," he remarks, falling quiet a second before the server arrives with fresh coffee and their breakfast.
"You ain't wrong there," he agrees of the party, reaching out with his fork to skewer a bit of molten pineapple on the end of his fork. "Give it a little time for the world to warm up more, an' we'll light the beaches up brighter'n Torchline at Longnight."
Refilling her own cup and setting the pot back down, Jack smirks around his bite of pineapple and gives an easy shake of his head. "I ain't your anchor - you already got one of those on your hull." All of which is to say she should feel free to approach the starry goddess on her own merit, if she wants to do so alone. "You never know - she might be keen to meet you too."
