Following his gesture, Jack only winces a slightly as the implications hit him. "Ah. Yeah, probably a good idea. Guess it's a good thing he left me to take care of some errand I'm not allowed to know anything about. Man's lucky I trust him and that he's cute."
It's still a bit surreal to realize that, even when he's not dazed by soul-warming sun, he's honestly not worried about what John might be doing that requires secrecy. Sure, Jack doesn't have any reason to believe he might try to pull something really stupid like poisoning him or...well, anything his ex-partner might have done that required some kind of secret purchase, but it's still bizarre to find himself trusting someone so completely.
Then again, no one else ever gave him a damn horse. Speaking of. He grins, remembering the main reason he'd kept his coat on after stepping out and feeling the sun. He pulls back just enough to put an arm Gray's shoulders, shoving his other hand his pocket. "But there is still someone I wanna introduce you to."
