[ there's a shrug here that basically means i know. yeah, yeah. he gets it but it came out anyway out of instinct. his... instinct to give jack shit all the time, obviously. but then of course jack is patting his face and rhys winces a little, feeling absolutely ridiculous.
he's talking about his team again and it makes that feeling swell up in rhys again, the reminder that he has nothing left -- that he is nothing. all he has here is jack and jack has... plenty. it's just confirmed, seeing him interact with his clique.
jack calls him his guy but it's easy to see the doubt in rhys' expression before he sighs wearily. he lets go of jack's hand to curl both of his hands in jack's shirt and pull him forward so he can... well. so he can kiss him, swiftly on the forehead. this is when the height difference between them really shows up more, honestly. when he lets go, he takes a step back, putting appropriate distance between the again before rubbing his hand over the back of his neck. ]
I know. Still can't be there so I'm... going to take a walk. I need some time to think, alright? And I'm no help anyway, none of them like me.
[ well, liz kind of does but he doesn't like her. it's weird. ]
An hour. Do your thing and then I'll be back, alright?
