[Fortunately-- or maybe unfortunately at times-- for them both, Nisha still remembers clearly the way he'd stuttered and stumbled his way through their first few conversations. Through the discussion logged on the ECHOnet before that. It gives her an edge, it always has, but that (tempting as it might be) has never been abused.
Does she abuse? Absolutely. But it's purely physical. Mostly. Mostly physical. Nisha tortures and torments the deserving, the monstrous and the wicked. She's a lawbringer - Jack's the law. Unlike someone whose name ends in -xxi, emotional manipulation isn't on the table.
Maybe that's why Jack trusts her. Or maybe he's just desperate to have someone to trust after all they've been through.]
You gonna throw me in jail, cowboy? [Inch for inch, step by step, she keeps whatever assertiveness he has tucked away in her hand; it takes more than a little effort to keep a grin from pulling at her lips.]
