[ Emotions flash on Jack's face in quick succession, first a twist of anger at Rhys's name, but it quickly melts away into nothing at Angel's. ]
Y- Yeah, I guess you and me need to-- to actually... talk about all of that.
[ His tone makes it clear that he's not looking forward to it, and he opens his mouth like he wants to say something, but he also seems to decide against it. Jack bows his head forward as he shakes it, since that can come later. ]
But, y'know, even if you hate me for what I've done, I get it. Nothing new there, kiddo. Just want to say that. 'Cause, honestly? Think it's more important that we take care of whatever this shit is.
[ So, yeah, later. And it's a more graceful acceptance than even Jack would have expected for himself, but at its heart, it's much more logic than emotion. He's had the time to calm down and process what's happened, so it's the break he'd needed to actually think through things instead of latching onto his anger and hurt with vicious intensity. ]
You can help me by doing the same thing I've been doing. Looking out for people. I mean, hell, it's actually easier now, since I have a better idea of what to look for in the first place, but we're just trying to figure out if people are infected, first and foremost. What to do from there-- [ He shrugs ] Honestly, I'd assumed I'd just kill 'em. But looks like Alice might have a better solution there.
[ He nods to her ]
So, you in? Not gonna hold it against you if you're not.
