Jack scowls back at her, upper lip curled -- it looks like, for a moment, that he's about to retort in kind with the same vitriol. But then, ultimately, his mouth pulls in a cheerless smile. "Aye, truly, just the same as those that'd murder their own children and blood and lock chains on those that've never done them wrong. I've not a spit of humanity in me." His words are dry in tone, expression even.
"Don't strain yourself with the burden of forgivin', great noble lady. You've no reason to go against your nature, and I've no reason to go against mine, so don't waste the time. Doin' right has never done me much good anyhow." He ignores the mare shifting beneath him, and spreads out his hands. "Now, shall you tell me more about how despicable and loathsome and wretched I am? I've heard it all before, but I do always enjoy hearing more."
