full speed ahead 'til I'm dead in the fast lane
"Wise decision," Jack says with a crooked grin, hauling himself to his feet and wading across to grab the spear still puncturing into the manta. He uses the weapon to heave the creature into Aurelia's waiting net. They'll have to wait until the others stop being so shit-scared before they can catch their third - they spook, surprisingly enough, when a member of their herd is impaled - and so that gives the duo ample time to chit-chat. And much to Jack's relief, his newest crew-member wastes little time.
That's not to say there isn't any preamble, which is especially dragging given that of course the captain already pretty much knows what it is she's going to say. But Jack has built his empire on patience and poker faces, and so he directs a quiet and considering frown down at the shallows as he listens, making a show of wringing out his damp shirt. The colourful methods of killing (swift and brutal, or slow and drawn out, he notes) dance along the fingers of his telepathy, and he lets a silence stretch between them before he responds. For all intents and purposes, he's chewing over what she's told him.
"Who else knows?" he says casually, after that. "Or rather, I should be asking who do you want to know? Saiden's Abandoned, as are a few others in the crew," he points out. Yeah, because Jack's all about taking care of other people.

Jack being an Abandoned is common knowledge these days, however his Telepathy remains a well-kept secret:
Magic: Passive Telepathy | The user can read the surface thoughts and emotions of those within a 30ft radius. Control is excellent. Note: "Thoughts and emotions" include anything written in a character's narration in a post.
Type: Grey | Rank: Mastered
Also branded with a small star tattoo beneath his left eye.
