Log:

Having no particular bedwarmer lined up this evening, Jack is on his way to the underworld in search of drink an curvaceous company. Drinking, in many people's opinion, is not a thing which requires a warm-up round. Jack is not one of those people.
A half-empty rum bottle sways in his hand as he stumbles down the darkened streets of the city and towards the subway station. He hates that bloody train, but one does what is necessary to fill their needs. The pirate, for instance, has a need to forget memories, ignore pain, and stop the damned ticking as long as is possible. This makes the subway a frequent requirement, given Jack's particular methods.

The bottle is raised to his lips and more warm liquor is hungrily sucked down before the glass is slammed hard into Jack's teeth. He lets the bottle swing down in a rough arc, spilling rum across shirt and ground alike and brings a hand up to his aching mouth. The pirate only gives a casual glance to the man he ran into, more interested in seeing if he's going to keep all of his teeth.
"Sorry, mate. Didn't see you."

Sands is assuming it's the adrenaline causing the pain in his legs to cease. Truthfully he didn't think of it at all until the pirate mentioned it. But that's not the point. This is-
"He was talking about killing me. Put your weapon down."

Sands has no idea if Jack is armed. But he's going to act like he is. It's safer that way. And 'if you have a weapon put it down' was much less intimidating.
Seeing as how he's holding a vampire at knifepoint with blood running down his ruined face- he might be overdoing the intimidation just a smudge.
