"Aye, that'd be understandable, with that particularly twisted situation the two o' you've got yourself caught up in. From what I've gathered, either way, she seems to be a remarkable young lass." And Firo sounded like a protective love-struck puppy, with the way that he talked about her. It's darling.
Jack swishes the bottle in his hand, though, and pauses a beat. "All the same, what's this about it being 'bad to say things like that to a girl in the first place'? Expressin' interest in a woman ain't anything to be ashamed about, lad." Which, coming from Jack, his version of 'expressing interest' would be more in the realm of the carnal variety. Having actual feelings for someone was a subject that he was more likely to skirt around.
