Well, yeah, but I'm known to do stupid things. Occassionally.
[ He cracks a grin, because even though Elizabeth hasn't exactly known him long, it's probably still pretty clear how blatantly untrue that statement is...
Of course, that cocky smirk is quickly wiped off his face when Elizabeth starts to tend to him. At first, it's just because the process doesn't exactly feel great, even if his pain tolerance is surprisingly high. For his personality, you'd probably expect him to be less tolerant to pain, but he'd sarcastically thank grandma for that one if asked. Still, his face twists up slightly as her hand follows the line of the cut, and his jaw tenses.
Though it's how she does it that really gets to him. Those soft words and how gentle she was in tending to the cut is. Something. New, maybe? He's not sure, but he's becoming more aware of that tone of voice each time she repeats the phrase. He closes his eyes, and it might seem like it's him focusing to ignore twinges of pain, but. No. No, Jack is honestly cursing himself that he finds her so attractive, but she is so young. There's definitely math being calculated in his head for the "well she's not half my age justification," quickly followed by "no, you're an idiot."
When she speaks to him again, he cracks open one eye, though it is with a partial grimace. ]
Ughhhhh, what the hell, seriously? That's- God, that's definitely going to leave a scar... [ Yeah, there's the whining that probably would have been more fitting for the pain. Apparently he's pretty concerned with his personal appearance. ]
Yeah, yeah, I do... Doesn't have to be the best, I'll just go get plastic surgery when I get back, I guess. Right after- After I paid for the friggin' body double too, godddddammit.
