[there's some rustling going on in the background, like he's moving things around. there are really very few examples as far as pirates he'd actually give a shit about showing up here, but maybe jack has a point. strength in numbers, et cetera.]
[ It's a relief. He only knows a couple people from times older than theirs, and the Chevalier is a dead man if he gets anywhere near him, so there's no time to revel in it. ]
Oh, don't get jealous on me. It's refreshing, I think. I know Flint had a man from those parts on his crew, didn't know there were a lot of them, though.
[there's a moderately frustrated sigh on the other end. allies, plots, schemes, those have never been his wheelhouse. he can handle the problem that's in front of him; jack was the one building the safety net. but he can't rely on jack for that anymore, can he?]
[if there was a chance he might have clarified his reluctance to indulge the idea of making friends, shirtless or otherwise, it evaporates as soon as jack accuses him of being sensitive about it. something heavy falls over and breaks.]

The Pacific, hm. What do you know about him?
no subject
[ All the important stuff. ]

Sounds like a man after your own heart. Now he's landlocked with the rest of us.

[come back after you've let him fuck you and then see how jealous he gets.]
Or maybe that he's made such an impression on you so quickly.
no subject
[ He's not gonna let him fuck him good God Charles!!! That's for Romance Route Only, thank you... ]
What impression do you think that is?
no subject
[that's not a criticism! just an observation!]
Don't huff at me. Glad you're making friends.
no subject
Wouldn't hurt you to do the same.
no subject
[y'all got to go out and actively have your dreams shattered. vane didn't even get the catharsis of a dramatic death at sea like he always wanted.
besides, everybody knows there's a difference between a man who sails and a proper pirate.]
I'll greet him if I see him. Happy?

You can socialize for other reasons, for heaven's sake. Plant seeds, make allies, you make the next plot easier, whatever it is.
[ Scheming 101, pls. ]

Not everybody has the knack for it you do, Jack.

Go around shirtless, you'll have takers lined up.

You worry about yours, I'll worry about mine.

Fuck you, Jack.
[then he hangs up.]
