[ Weird. It's still... weird to have this girl that he barely knows crying on him, worried about him. But it fits with his narrative for himself. He's Handsome Jack, the hero, and so this was a part of it. Just-- Not the part he was ever comfortable with. He loved the glory, the admiration, the power, but this human element was always more awkward for him. He had the charisma to truly seize the first three, but the last one involved something that Jack hated to do. It means opening up, trusting people, and after this week especially, that's a hard thing for him to do.
But, at the very least, he's learned the right motions, the right words to say. That part has always come naturally to him, so long as he can remember.
He shifts back slightly, though his expression falls when Elizabeth is brought up. It's not quite disapproving, but there's a flicker of some kind of doubt or uncertainty, almost as if he hadn't expected it, but he nods. ]
Yeah- I mean, yeah. I assume so. Kind of... saw it leave, or something. Dunno. Hard to remember, honestly.
[ He's not sure about that part, since it's fuzzy. He remembers watching Alice do something to Elizabeth, but he was so blinded by his own pain and his rage, that it had been secondary to that process. There's more of a pause as he listens to Yuno's request, and at least at this, his expression softens. ]
Well, uh. Don't know where Paris is, to be completely honest, Yuno. [ just... saying that part first, since that's probably important ] But, that aside? Don't worry about that part, kiddo. It's a request I don't mind at all. Dunno-- Dunno if she'd even want it, but, yeah. I mean- [ He pauses to laugh ] That's what heroes do, right?
