Jack gave Salazar a look at this act of coddling, but in the end succumbed to it. The Spaniard was not wrong in his assessment – in fact, “I think you’re selling it a bit short there, mate.” It was colder than a the heart of a siren out on the deck this evening. Glancing up, he wagged his brows curiously, “You going to join me, then?”

In the midst of a storm – no matter the strength of the gales – a man needed to keep on his toes. There were too many things that could go wrong – all of which needed to be accounted for and mitigated or compensated for in orderly fashion. Immediacy and efficiency were key – and keeping ahead of the worst a storm could do took not only a great deal of mental maneuvering, it was also exceptionally taxing in a physical sense. Simply put, to say that Jack was exhausted would be to set matters into a much milder format than the reality of it.
He relaxed mostly because he trusted Armando to stand steady even with his weight, and he knew that now was the wisest time for rest. He did not resist the yawn that overcame him, though he was hesitant to retire entirely when there was work that still needed overseeing. “Once matters settle, aye,” He agreed, indicating he was simply taking a moment for himself, and intended to return to assisting soon enough.
It was difficult to tell what was the more alarming sensation, really. The sudden drop in the pit of one’s stomach when fingers slip their hold or the more forceful thrust of a shoulder into said stomach when snatched out of the air and tossed over it like a kitten plucked from a heavy breeze.
Catching his bearings, Jack was just about to say something when the world shifted rather suddenly, and his position went from potato sack to bride. For a moment, he simply stared before he laughed and slung a lazy arm over Armando’s broad shoulders. {{ You know, there are easier ways to sweep a man off his feet, }} He teased, as if the captain hadn’t just saved him from a most unwanted swim.
