[Another little smack of paper as he looks at the Captain again.]
Historically, me meeting the guy pulling the strings on an enclosed community surrounded by ocean hasn't gone well for anybody, so I'm a little nervous.
[Jack's nervousness comes out in stiff movements and this awkward way of talking, very mild all around, namely because he's positive he can't kill the Captain, and while the muster demonstrated that he can very much be controlled against his will, he's confident that it won't be used to make him attack anyone right now. And if he dies, he'll probably come back. He doubt anything he asks will be offensive enough otherwise, but fuck it, at least he won't have unfinished business if he dies for real, either.
