Jack began to roll his eyes as the Doctor started his little speech about his 'space hopper'.
"Oy! So am I!" He frowned. But it was more perfunctory than anything, and he wasn't sure it was true any more either. He's no more from the 51st century than he is from Cardiff. A nowhere man.
His diverted thoughts were quickly shut down though as he was snapped back into reality by the Doctor's question. His mouth sat open a little in shock he didn't catch himself quick enough to mask. He turned his head and looked back at the TARDIS, as though it might not be there and the Doctor could be referring to some other ship.
Of course, he wasn't.
He wasn't sure at first. The thought almost scared him. Scared him because it's something he'd wanted to badly in the past. Wanted more than anything. And now, now he wasn't sure he was the same man. Wasn't sure he could be that man.
Despite himself though, a smile was spreading across his face, slow and sure. He took in a deep breath, filling his lungs, and he nodded as he turned his head back to the Doctor.
"Okay. Okay why not." Because try as he might, he couldn't think of a genuine reason he shouldn't, and so many that he should.
