Koschei looked up and frowned at Jack, his head tilted to the side as he debated how best to answer it. "Well, I was going to say anything but yes?" Koschei said very tentatively in the form of a question because Jack did give him a headache and a little bit of wrongness hit him whenever he was too near but it wasn't anything he couldn't cope with. Jack didn't fit into this world properly, that was certain, but it would be wrong to push the topic. "I mean it's a little rude to just ask that point blank but you're not normal, are you? That's okay! Not complaining, it's a lifestyle choice. If it works, it works."

Koschei shrugged his shoulders, not wanting to push because hell, he already knew this guy didn't like him and he lived to save his pretty face form bruises. He could be nice, just like this. See, how nice?

Defensively, he just took several very long steps back. "I'm a man of words, Captain, not of fighting so please could you not punch me if that was the wrong answer. I value my face."
