Unlike most times, the pirate would've welcomed the attack from Jason. It'd be a neat little excuse to retaliate in kind, to release all that pent up indignation and rage that had twisted itself into his gut as each day marched by, made even worse in the Arena when that bullet had torn its way through flesh and organ and ego.
But instead, for the time being, Jack will settle for prodding further at Jason. He's not moved in the least by the threat, and it shows. "Would you now. That's very interesting, mate." This guy's a piece of work, that's clear as day. Godspeed to those poor Tributes that have to deal with him in his district.
He lifts his index finger, pointedly. "As, it seems, that is a touch counter-intuitive for an Escort such as yourself, aye? Seeing as you Capitolites are so peculiarly preoccupied, or otherwise infatuated, with presence and appearances and the like. That'd put a large damper on the whole appeal for the audience, wouldn't it. And it certainly wouldn't help a good little Escort like Swann win the approval of the masses." Jack had a sense that Swann meant something to Jason, more than his dismissive words led on. But of course that could be wrong, and the man was just simply defending his own ilk.
But then again that begged the question as to why he was in the District 8 Suites to begin with, and not terrorizing his own Tributes.
Jason's last comment causes a brief clench to the pirate's jaw and narrowed eyes. "No. That's where you're dead wrong, mate. They're as human as the rest of us. Cutting the tongue from their mouths don't make them less so."
