It isn't the answer she'd been expecting or even hoping for from him. The wolfish grin does nothing but leave Flora feeling a touch unmoored, not unlike the sensation of falling when the tide pulls away leaving you wanting to catch your balance on the shoreline. Anytime she felt she was near to the point of getting Jack, whether sexually or just in terms of understanding him, it was like a mirage that slipped through her fingers and moved out of her reach again.
Biting at the inside of her cheek and wanting to grab a tangle of Jack's hair in her fingers and yank out her frustration, instead the Doubletake pulls in a deep breath of sea air and lets her head tip back indulgently. If she'd learned anything at all from men likelucifer Jack, it was that knowing what someone desired was more important than almost anything else. But if Jack was going to remain tight-lipped, perhaps the Doubletake would have to forgo her girlish daddy-issues-based crush on the good captain.
"Or maybe I'll just become a goddess myself." Flora muses, eyes on the sea, before abruptly turning toward the haul of manta crystals that she might sort out two she could use for Frey's quest.

The rumors are terrible and cruel
But honey, most of them are true
