[ right, sorry-not-sorry about that - the lollipop comment. on top of the mission and ship side seeming more lax, jack's also had a couple other drinks before adrien showed up, and he's feeling a little light and bubbly now.
And, wow, that whole lemon seen is completely lewd and unfair, and Jack's slowly arching brows is saying that enough. About halfway through the display, Jack's teeth tug at his lower lip, with the want to lurch forward and taste citrus on his friend's lips.
But he knows - there's a line there. This is play, doesn't matter, just being a shit for being a shit's sake. But to move it past that is something neither of them want. Instead, he just chuckles lightly, shaking his head. ] Dick.
[ but about the actual question - ] Because I don't like people.
[ he knows Adrien understands that. That, and, Jack typically didn't need much on the way of flirting or convincing aside from a starter to express interest, given he is A, pretty B, royalty and C, looks at people like he already knows how they look in their underwear. ]
[ There is no mistaking where the 'Dick' comment comes from and were Adrien given to such displays of emotion as laughing, he would have just then. The amusement sparks in his eyes, much as it had down in the med bay but he quickly shutters them by glancing around the bar and back at Jack. ]
Yet you're sitting in a bar full of ... people.
[ Which actually brings up a point and the doctor makes a face. ]
For that matter, I'm sitting in a bar full of people.
[ To be fair, he was sitting at a bar buying his friend ex-lieutenant a much needed drink. But it was still a bar full of people, on the heels of a long day of people and in that moment Adrien felt his skin starting to crawl.
Sliding off the stool, he dropped a couple of credits (enough for Jack to have another round or the tender to have a healthy tip) on the bar top and proceeded to pick up his glass of soda water. ]
I'm out of here.
[ Complete with glass. The words were spoken in such a tone that there was an unspoken invitation, if Jack wanted to grab his drink to go as well but it could also be easily ignored with no expectations. ]
