While he listened to Rose process what he'd said, Jack almost smiled. It was funny because he could understand it. Understand the questioning. The Doctor wouldn't do that. The Doctor would look for him. He'd said and thought the same things so many times.
But truth won out, and he couldn't ignore that.
"I thought he could answer my questions," Jack admitted. "I thought that he'd understand what had happened to me. But the truth is? He didn't, not really. You know when I first saw him again even the TARDIS tried to get away from me. Went right the way to the end of the universe and I clung on to the outside," he laughed. Though really, a trip through the vortex like that was hardly pleasant.
"He told me that I'm wrong. That that's how it feels to him. His instinct was to run and so..." he threw his hands in the air.
"So he did."
And then he smiled. "But hey, come on. I'm doing pretty okay."
