JACK
You were dressed for attention. Jack nearly said it before he could convince his brain to stop him, only because he'd already had a glass thrown at him and other insults and threats of fuck knew what else. That, neatly alongside the letters she had standing by and waiting to send to all the Big Important People in Caido at least gave the captain a little pause. And what was it Eloise had described herself as? A show dog? Whatever the fuck that was.
Jack wasn't wearing boots currently, so if anything he had grown shorter overnight, but that wasn't the point of the exercise. "No. Now listen because I ain't sayin' this again. If you fuckin' hit me, I'm gonna hit you back." Why that might come up at all would be abundantly clear as he reached out to tilt up her chin, leaning in to capture her lips in a kiss that, based on her incredibly wrong assumptions of him thus far, would be a surprise and a half. That was what she had wanted, right? The unexpected? If nothing else it would shut her up for a second.
