Jack's mouth doesn't know how to fit itself anymore, moulding instead into different expressions, trying to find the one that goes best with the blank look of amusement on James' face.
His shoulder brushes James' shoulder and so when he dips his head to murmur a reply, he can speak almost directly into James' ear, returning close contact for close contact.
He tries to find James' eyes and hold them, pitching his voice low and interested. "I would think you could risk a guess, Mr. Norrington. Having seen my record and all."
Because there's really only one thing Jack is interested in paying his attention to now. He could list what he likes, dawn horizons and foreign girls and empty, stretching strips of beaches and colourful markets and all of the other things he's seen that he would call beautiful if asked outright. But that isn't really the point of this, is it, not when he's pressed to James like he is. There are far better things for them to discuss.
