He's not quite unnerved that hearing the Captain is like Nobunaga if Nobunaga could handle dark magic and lost all his generals and family and reasons to hold back. Nope. But it is a little annoying. Not because he can empathize. But because he hates having to attribute tactics to his enemies that only Nobunaga himself is damned insane enough to pull off. If Stede Bonnet is the side of Nobunaga that he hates the most, the Captain is certainly a warning story. No playing with dark magic for you, Demon King of 6th Heaven. Oh yay, fighting himself just what he always wanted. (Except not.)
"Wait who? Jenny? No, I --" gestures to Johnny Summers. Still fresh to guns, not freed as far as he can tell what Clarke means.
"So Jenny half escaped???"
The warning about the captain crushing him doesn't faze him in the least. He's heard it a million times before. He's not underestimating anything, because indeed, a foe with Nobunaga's madness is... not something to joke about. Even though it is a joke itself.
"Timelines..." THAT gets a blink. Which is real? "Then they can be changed." Maybe? Wormholes and such. He knows his own is already in a massive flux discrepancy, but the only person he talked to about it was Commander Crichton, and he's not sure how much is even safe to tell others.
He points to Griffin's temple. "How are you personally handling it?" She finally was starting to remind him of himself a little. Back when he was a teenager, and after defeating Yoshimoto Imagawa and starting to just think the impossible was achievable. But he almost instantly had his two right and left hands. Hideyoshi and Mitushide pushing him forward, keeping him from wanting to get himself out, and actually give a damn about his siblings who didn't betray him, making sure he still trained Ieyasu, and kept thinking in broader and broader terms rather than just himself. Maybe it's because he's never been without them more than a few months before, for all his intentions to set off and see the world someday, but it's only just now hitting him how different his life would have been without them.
