JACK
"It'd be no fun if we were both patient," Jack mutters half under his breath, a quiet rime of frost creeping around his cup to cool it before he lifts it to his lips. "An' gods know I can have my moments too." Smirking at her over the rim of his coffee, he raises it in a half toast before relaxing back in the booth as well. Letting the bittersweet heat wash through him to smooth down any barbs not already soothed by the fountain, he's still smiling as he lowers the cup.
"Maybe he ought to meet you," he suggests. "He ain't the type to fall to your feet to kiss 'em," he adds - Finch leans more in Murphy's direction, as far as Jack can tell, "but that just means you can practice your other skills on him." Like magic or intimidation or knifework, should that become necessary. Besides which, with their homecoming, it makes sense for The Ark to get to spread her wings as more than just a ship in the dock or a redhead at his side.
Her thanks, quiet and earnest across the table, are unexpected even for a telepath, and it takes Jack a moment to truly know what to do with them. In the end, though, he reaches across to take her hand, lifting the back of her knuckles to his lips. "Comin' back was easy as breathin', once I finally committed," he says. "So thank you. Let's make it worth every day we were away, yeah?"
