Jack knew, if the Doctor said no, despite how much he wanted to keep the Time Lord company... he'd listen. He'd stay put and let the Doctor walk around god only knows where by himself -- but he didn't, despite what he had first thought the Doctor took him up on his offer and Jack... he jumped to the opportunity like a cat on a mouse.

The door was opened half a second after a knock, Jack standing there calming with his RAF coat on and hair looking as if he had just got out of bed... which he had. A few moments of sleep that was riddled with nightmares, but the Doctor didn't need to know that; Jack considered himself lucky for being from the 51st century; the bags underneath his eyes weren't as visible. "You don't look so good," Considering what had happened (Jack knew the outcome because he is just brilliant like that) it wasn't much of a surprise.

"Didn't you sleep last night?" Small talk, the kill the silence. It was all he could do right now.

The Doctor leaned against Jack's doorframe, eyeing the Captain in a look-who's-talking sort of way. But he figured Jack to look like that - tired and worn out - after living for a couple hundred years, didn't suspect anything more.

He shrugged.

"Might've. You know me, always busy with something. You wouldn't believe how often I forget to sleep." Avoid the issue, of course. Same old story.

Jack smirked, ever so slightly, he knew the Doctor would do that, avoid the issue. It was so like him. With a shrug Jack shifted his weight from one foot the other, "Oh I know, do it a lot myself." May it be due to Myfawny being unable to sleep, or Jack being unable to sleep, or having found a alien artifact that slipped through the Rift and spendin the entire night (and thensome) trying to figure out what it was and where it came form.

"Come on, not gonna do us any good standing around here." Without warning he waltzed out, letting the door slam close behind him and grabbed hold of the back of the Doctor's collar, tugging him along a little.

He was rather silent for a few moments before something hit him. "You didn't have to knock you know, the door was already open."

The Doctor was - er - tugged along by Jack before he picked up his own pace next to the Captain, pulled free, hands still in his coat pockets. The gesture was so very Jack.

"How was I supposed to know?" The Doctor frowned, shrugged. "Well. Then again, s'only me, why lock the door? Oh, well." He sniffed idly. "Anyway."
