His crown lit up the way as we moved slowly
"Thought I was the one doin' the meetin'," you remark, an eyebrow raised in surprise. A minute ago he'd decided your tired old legs needed the exercise; now he seems to be dismissing both you and Raza like you haven't been all in the shit from the beginning.
You take another sip of your rum while waiting for Raza to say whatever it is she's got up her sleeve, dark eyes carefully watching Jack to figure out what's crawled into his ass. The news is... honestly, you're not sure what to make of it. "Secret liaison, eh? Like between the governor an' us lowlifes, or...?"
You jerk your chin at where Jack is (or was). "Does this mean you're takin' over as a go between for the Ark? Finally givin' my old bones a rest?" You're not... thrilled, by the prospect of being out of a job. Though knowing Torchline, there will always be someone elses' product to move. And it's not like you have any fondness for Jack, or see him as a little brother, or worry he'll get his ass handed to him one of these days, or anything sentimental like that. It's just that you're an old dog in a comfortable position and you don't want to be learning too many new tricks.
And nothing more than that.
Nooooope.

Past the wondering eyes
of the ones that were left behind
