Jack's head turned rather sharply to the Doctor beside him. Looking at him full on. He was surprised by that response. Jack had always seen the Doctor as a man to impress, to live up to. If he'd even half way achieved that then maybe, just maybe things might be better than he'd thought.
He didn't ask why the Doctor thought that, though a large part of him wanted to. But seeing the expression on the other man's profile... he understood that. Jack understood the sentiment.
So perhaps it was his turn to lift the mood.
He smiled a full grin that wasn't entirely real but was almost uncomfortably easy to fake; lifted his arm, displaying the vortex manipulator around his wrist.

"That mean you're gonna fix this then?"
