[ Rhys isn't the only one that's surprised, since Jack had taken a step back to allow Elizabeth the room to give what he expected would be a hug. When Rhys gets a smack first, Jack's eyebrows shoot up, but it's predictably followed by snickering. He can't help it. There's something about Rhys getting hurt that's just inherently funny to him.
(Which should be more than slightly worrying, all things considered, but maybe that just makes it a good thing that Jack keeps that part to himself.)
Rhys looks to him for direction, and as smoothly as if this had always been the way things were between them, Jack nods to encourage Rhys to return the gesture. He's still smiling and amused by this turn of events, though when Elizabeth looks at him, he at least stops with the childish snickering. He lifts one of his hands lightly from where it rests on his crossed arms. ]
Yeah, she doesn't know that, dumdum.
[ He has to defend Elizabeth first, okay... Because he just ends up making a dismissive noise, a loud pfft as he rolls his eyes. ]
I mean, I'm not a miracle worker, Liz. This guy, not doing anything stupid? [ translation: screw you rhys he's not useless ] But, yeah, I'll give my best effort with a hopeless cause here.
