Jack raised an eyebrow as John spoke about the people he killed. He wasn't supposed to be proud of it. After all, how else could he help convince him to change? Still, the compliment made his face soften, and he even smiled. "You always did have a hard time getting on top." He winked and left the chamber to turn off the spray and find a towel of his own to dry off with.

Jack had to step away from John. He knew that the TARDIS wasn't really in much danger of being irradiated. After all, it was able to handle everything that outer space and the time vortex had to throw at it and make it out just fine. He just needed some space before he fell back in love with John, which was remarkably easy to do, especially when he was being sweet and honest like that. It wasn't fair. Jack was supposed to be better than this; over it and John entirely. Still, he wrapped himself in his towel and went to seek out the Doctor. Maybe he could provide some insight.
