[Being helped up feels more like being bodily placed upright, though Jack doesn't exactly know how much of that is the man's strength and how much of that is the swimmy feeling of being moderately concussed. But he catches the conversation between the two, and begins to have the sinking feeling that there's something there. Something inhuman, sharp-edged and savage in a way he can't possibly hope to compete with.

Something that makes his heart ache.

He still can't help smiling when Grell steps up to dust him off, but there's a faint wistfulness to the expression, and his nod is less exuberant than before. All the same, he returns the handshake, the picture of lingeringly off-balance manners. The lady deserves the best, Holden. Be the bigger man. At least, the . . . figurative bigger man.]

Ah, no harm done. [Almost certainly a lie, but they're in front of Grell. Can't be looking weak and squishy.] One of those chivalric marks of character, isn't it? Protecting a fair lady's honour?

[deadlyjuliet]

Because I have better taste than that. [She smiles at Jack, noting the dimming of his ardour, and pats his cheek.] And I only choose the handsome ones.

[Grell glances at Smoker with a smirk and motions to Jack with a flourish.]

See? English gentlemen are so rare here - it was something nostalgic. You can't really be upset, can you?

[She looks to Jack and gives him another saccharine smile, tinted with something deadly and insincere at the corners.]

He's not really upset, dear. Don't worry.

[justicereigns]

[Grunts and tsundere turns and looks away.] Yeah, that's fine, whatever.

Nostalgia... [Snorts a little derisively. He'd hit on marines here just to show her! You know. If there actually were any others from his world.]

[And yeah... he's just gonna be an uncommunicative tsundere jerk over here. Oops.]

[250mhzwabl]

[Well, that could have been . . . worse. Probably. Like, if the man were legitimately trying to fight him, maybe. That would be ugly.

It's hard work, though, trying to look on the bright side when you're heartbroken. And Grell is smiling at him, that sweet and terrible smile that only makes him love her hopelessly. It's torture – perfectly survivable torture.]

Right. [He nods to Smoker, then looks to Grell, smiling haplessly and holding his hand out for hers.] I should probably leave you and your man to your own devices, hm?
