He looked and sounded so much older when he smiled like that, when he laughed like that. Something older than she could imagine almost. She remembered seeing it before on the Doctor too, when she asked the wrong thing and he would change the subject with that same kind of smile.
She looked at him in confusion. Where she was now modification meant something compltely different. It meant metal parts and emotion removed and becoming less than human, but that couldn't be Jack.
She pulled her hand up to touch his face, almost questioning and confused and searching for someone she used to know. It was still him, no matter what, but still she needed to know. If she just stopped asking questions it would be so much easier, but she needed to know.
"How do you mean modifications? If you can live forever, does that mean you're like the Doctor now?"
Her hand ventured down to his chest. Left side heart beat...right side nothing.
"But you still got just one heart, haven't you? So it can't be like the Doctor, can it?"
