[ It's a valiant attempt, and especially so for someone that doesn't do this for a living. Jack's expression doesn't change as he listens beyond a further quirk of his smile once Rhys gets started. To himself, Jack thinks that it's not bad, but lacking. Kind of reminds him of himself when he first started this gig, because how do you establish yourself as the baddest guy in the room when you're in a room full of scumbags? That's always the trick, because if these assholes smell one bit of weakness, they'll latch onto it without a doubt.
So they look suitably unimpressed when Rhys starts speaking, but there are a few smirks when he hesitates on the melting lungs. A handful look between each other, then sit back comfortably as if they're watching a show of their own while Rhys goes through the motions of his explanation. The promise of freedom catches everyone's attention, though, including Jack's. His expression still doesn't falter, but he does briefly glance at Rhys before turning back to their gathered prisoners.
Naturally, they have more thoughts on the matter. ]
Yeah? How we know you're going to keep your promise, Company boy? Not just throw us in the pit?
[ One of them speaks up, but there's a mocking, challenging tone to his voice. ]
