“Fortune helps the intrepid and abandons the cowards. I am the daughter of a man who did not know of fear. Whatever may come, I am resolved to follow that course until death.” ― Caterina Sforza

Arnaud shrugged, and directed his gaze-and his attention-to the males of the room, clearly not caring to continue the conversations. She was not from the Caribbean. Why would she understand their suffering? Their cause? Such arguments were a lost cause by all accounts.
Nothing to do now but listen in and drink in some of the eye-candy.
Not a bad way to spend the day, he had to admit. It was certainly better then his past company. Which was to say he, himself, and him.

The song Degas was referencing:
Arnaud smiled at the girl’s question. “Imperialist? When we do it, it’s called liberation actually.” He smiled easily, though it was a tad bit brittle. Then he waved his hand.
“How did the old tune go? Bit by bit the pieces fit, the soviet machine advances….not one move that won’t improve our nation’s chances.”
The Caribbean-born pilot leaned forwards a bit then. “The same principle holds here, I think. The Caribbean ah…..she has a government, but the government cannot control the weather yes? Who knows how long we can hold back nature hmmm…? Better to extend our reach now, while we still can, then wait until the ocean washes us all away. If it does.”
He lifted his glass of rum to his lips and took a good long gulp. “The war. Heh. She did not do wonders for my people's optimism.”

I assumed as much... XD
He's a mess of bad education-outside of thieving and self-taught bits and pieces-major issues, and a fair bit of greed encouraged by a mother figure.
But somewhere in there, there's a good person.
I promise.
I think.

I hope?
In addition to that post, I will also stress that, outside of advanced medical equipment, Jinx's diagnostic opinion is not to be trusted.
...
Honestly, half the stuff he thinks is a coin-toss on being trustworthy or not.

Jinx nodded, taking in the sight of the, evidently, drugged to the gills professor. He didn’t *think* he’d used that much of a dose. He’d been able to hobble out of the caper he’d...last used them in... (were there really that many? Wow.) just fine. So.
Some of it had to be mental.
Being an educated sort, he knew a shock to the system miiiiight just shake the good professor out of it.
Plus it might be fun.
It should be mentioned at this point that Jinx did not have a medical degree was not be trusted around medical equipment more advanced than first-aid kit.
Slowly, Jinx leaned forwards, just a bit. “Well. I might know a way to clear your head. If you’re interested.”
Cue the smirk.

@Voltus_Ventus@ChaoticFox@Verdaux after any of you post I'll post adressing @Ophidian on the plan to get off the damn mountain
Gotcha!

Jinx almost jumped into the air at the question-he clearly hadn’t been expecting it. “Oh. Uh. No. Grew up in Goldenrod. Learned uh.”
The thief waved his hand at his body, and then at the airport far behind him. “Well. All of this there.”
Then there was a pause. That seemed to drag on for awhile. “So. A professor. That’s…” Jinx paused. “I actually have no idea what they do actually.”
Even to him, this small talk turning painfully awkward.
Jinx sucked in a breathe. “Right. I’ll just cut to it then. I’m new to the region….and uh, right now, I don’t have much to do. And I’ve sorta filled my ‘flip the bird to authority’ quota for the day-thanks for that by the way!” Cue flirty wink number forty-six. “....but you’re currently high as a kite, there’s a pretty good chance that-even if there isn’t any long term trouble like you said, that the mooks here won’t get that memo for awhile.”
“...So.” Jinx paused again. “I could probably move faster alone.” For some reason though, the notion seemed singularly unattractive. “But I figure you didn’t have to help me out in the airport. You pretty much coulda just left the door alone and waited for security. Not like it was you they wanted.”
Pause.
“...It’s been awhile since someone stuck their neck out for me. And I’m in the habit of encouraging **** like that. If you’ll have me, I’d be fine staying with you on the road until you’re all healed up. Just think of me as your lab assistant. Except fun. And illegal. Which is to say fun.”

Degas enjoys long debates on communist policy
Wrestling
Birdwatching
And bitching about Texas because letting go of past wars is weak coward talk.
Incessant caribbean music he will never shut off no matter how much he's begged too
And of course, hot guys with hot planes. :p
