Jack sighs, fishing another apple slice out of his pocket for Estelle so he can focus just on her, for a moment.. "Awful. Wonderful. Like I said, didn't know anything about him before. We ran into each other basically right away, and it's real good he introduced himself first, even if it did mean having to explain a lot to Tosh real fast."
The idea of the Agency sending Gray to kill that good, heroic man still unsettles him, but not as much as it had when he'd first found out and John had to talk him out of his guilt spiral. "I'd never felt anything about just taking his name before, after awhile there were some days I almost forgot I had, but after seeing him...." he shakes his head. "It's real possible if Owen hadn't opened the Rift, I would've done something stupid like trying to save him."
He turns back to Gray, smile only wavering a bit. "I did get to dance with him though. And made sure he got one helluva last kiss."
