Henry has absolutely no idea when it's evening in Gilboa, so he guesses by the time difference between Boston and Jerusalem; this is seven hours and means when he calls (in the early afternoon, when he feels the most stable if he ever does at all) it should be a little after 10 P.M.
Does Henry have a custom ringtone on Jack's phone? Is it hilarious? Either way it's ...ringing.

Henry does, in fact, have a custom ringtone, something ridiculously peppy that sounds remarkably like this. It takes him a few rings to answer, and when he does there's a moment of muffled background noise, which cuts off abruptly with the close of a door.
"Henry. How are things?" There's stress in his voice, but he's clearly trying to ignore that and offer forth a happier tone.

Henry has mostly quit laughing by the time Jack answers, which is best; his laughter always has a slightly hysterical edge to it lately. "Hello, Jack. They've- been better, if we're being honest."
These two rarely are, or maybe such as both of them exist in so many pieces, they are as much as they're respectively permitted.
Background noise on Henry's end is perhaps notably completely absent. Minimal pleasantries are probably going to be a theme here, but: "How is the monarchy?"

"Unpopular, but I'll spare you the details." Which is to say, he would rather not elaborate, really. There isn't a nice way to explain what he's doing without telling Henry the same lies he's telling the court, and Jack is about tapped out of clever obfuscations for the day.
"I'm not ungrateful for a distraction, though. Is your trip going alright?" There's a note of concern, carefully controlled -- and he is concerned, but he's only showing it as a prompt for elaboration. The trial has him micromanaging his behavior infinitely more than usual, sorry Henry.
