JACK
"I dunno, but it's the one I'm usin'," Jack rumbles; hopefully once he's not hanging by a literal thread between life and death, he might have a little more mastery over his magic. (And his emotions, but we'll fucking see). Relaxing as if for the first time in the bunk, his hand - growing a fraction warmer as the seconds pass - reaches up to cover her own, thumb brushing along the back of her palm.
"I missed you too," he whispers, the words falling from his lips unbidden, and as the pain continues to recede in slow, careful pulses of warmth, his free arm reaches around her to draw her closer against his side. "I know you wouldn't, but I'm glad they took you where you'd be safe," he adds, his eyes closing as he finally feels the fever racking his body start to break.
