So You Wanna Do What Now?

His gaze stays upon the watery horizon as he lets Jack wage his internal war. The proposition is not one that can be decided lightly. He would not be surprised if Jack had requested to come back at a later time with an answer. But change was good and as Jack stumbled over his words about not being smart and wanting to try, Gil let out a small laugh. "One does not need to be smart to be successful," he mentions as he finally tilts his chin to look back at Jack. A brow lifts when Jack says he'll be his advisor if he'd have him.

Will the boy rise to the occasion? Or will he chicken out? Either is fine. If he isn't ready to lead a raid, there were other tasks around the isle that needed completion as well.
