i want to taste you again
She can keep both eyes on him for all Jack cares - the fact that she's not sure about his skill with discretion is a credit to the reputation he's built for himself. If they're all watching the brash captain, they're not watching the business he's actually conducting in secret. There's a smile curling around the cigarette at her quip and the declining to partake, Jack having almost guessed that he was speaking to the very same Acquarone she was inquiring about, but now it's confirmed.
"That's a damn shame - bein' alive always complicates things," he mutters, though the amusement in his tone suggests it's a quip and nothing more. But then she lays out her plans, her terms of his employment, and he exhales a whorl of smoke that's snatched by the sea breeze and taken elsewhere. "I don't fake deaths as a rule. The smugglin' shouldn't be an issue, provided you tell me where you're aimin' to go," he murmurs. It isn't a no to the first step of her plan; merely an affirmation that she's asking for a lot.
"I'm no fool - I know the Acquarone estate as well as anyone. What're the stakes, if you fuck this up? Who am I gonna have on my heels?"
