Again Jack's head ducked down. He wasn't one attuned to explaining himself. Why would he? He was who he was and that was private. Who he is and who he was and the lives he has lived, all unique to what they were and are and they didn't cross. He made it that way, built up walls in ways he never used to.
But he was never that man with Rose, and the last thing he'd intend to do would be to alienate her now, and so an effort had to be made.
"Ohh I'm no Time Lord," Jack said with a shake of his head. "And I'm not like the Doctor. I'm way better looking for a start," he winked. "Though his current regeneration? He really traded up there didn't he?"
Another laugh. Warmer this time, something more natural in it, playful and more... Jack.
"I'm one of a kind," he said to her, his tone back to something more serious. "Nobody quite like me, Rose. Never has been never will be. Fixed point in time, that's me."
He didn't really want to explain that it was her that did it. He didn't want to taint the moment with that explanation.
