[ If Irving is looking to be liked or respected, he's going to continue having a tough time with Jack. He watches him, still leaning over the table, eyes rolling nearly into the back of his head. The only thing the other man is really accomplishing here is getting the rest of the coffee house to pull their eyes towards them - which Jack can play off, drumming his hands against the table and then leaning his entire chair back, balancing with his feet on the edge of the table. ]

Excuse me, miss? [ Jack snaps his fingers at a waitress, easy enough to get her attention what with Irving jumping up and yelling about his travels. The pirate points at him. ] Be a dear, get my friend something stronger to drink, could you please?

[ For the whole city's sake, please. ]

I don't recall saying anything about seduction...if that is, somehow, what you've gleaned from me questioning your virility, it may be time for you to take a look at yourself. [ The waitress returns, one for Rackham, one for Irving. It doesn't look like the same coffee as before...he doesn't touch it, yet. ] Seems to me, looking for things that are not there would point to some subconscious desire on your part, does it not?
