[ Once again, Jack is quiet. His silences almost seem rare with how animated and talkative he almost always is, but for people that know him, those silences tend to say a lot. Jack is the kind of person that thinks so quickly that his words can't even keep up with him, and that energy and sharp mind is where that unfiltered, near stuttering way of speaking comes from. So when he's quiet, it's a big deal. It means he's taking his time, listening, truly evaluating a situation.
So, for people that know Handsome Jack, they also know that this is when he's dangerous. So when Yuno talks of God, Jack hears talk of kings, of opportunity. His hand comes up to his chin, resting there thoughtfully, but his gaze is fixed and focused on Yuno in a different way than she's seen before. It's intense, and Jack makes no effort to hide the fact that he's looking at her as if he's trying to discern the truth of her story. A few weeks ago, he would have dismissed it as imposibility, but with the things here? The people he's met?
He actually breathes out a laugh when he realizes it, because it should be preposterous, and yet, he believes her. ]
So— [ He starts, but his voice is shakier than he expects. He's not sure whether it's excitement or something else, but he laughs again, and it's gone. ] Man, so you're pretty much an expert at this, huh, Yuno?
[ It's different, and Jack knows it, but he doesn't elaborate or correct himself. That comment isn't particularly important, after all. His smile grows dangerously, but it's not at Yuno herself. No, on the contrary, Yuno has just become incredibly valuable to him. Their alliance at first had been something useful to him, something that he felt he would accomplish regardless, so Yuno watching his back was only a help in that overall goal. But now, with her dangling possibility in front of him, it becomes mutual. ]
If-- If you can do that, then, kiddo? I'll help you. Not just get off this ship, not just make sure you and Liz get home, but to win your game. It sounds— Hah, gotta say, sounds crazy! But, y'know? Being able to bring people back from the dead at all, that, that's pretty damn insane. But, hey, at this point, I'll take that risk.
[ He has nothing else to lose, he thinks. So even if this fails... It's no more loss than he's already facing. ]
My Angel, Rhys, we'll bring them back. Everyone else? I'll let you decide. But my baby girl, I've at least gotta get her back.
