Jack's outside, today. He went for a run, most of the morning, and is now sitting by the side of the lake feeling pleased with himself. He'd kind of been afraid he would have gotten out of shape in the past few months, but apparently the Delicate Flowers is an excellent workout.

Now he's vaguely contemplaing swimming, and if anyone will really care that much if he does so in the nude.

He'll probably make a decision in half an hour or so, but for now he's just enjoying the sun.

It's a convenient thing that the Doctor always parks the TARDIS out here when visiting, otherwise Rose might've missed Jack entirely.

"Room out here for two, or's that sunbeam all yours?"

[othercaptjack]

Jack grins hugely and reaches out to pull her down next to him.

"Oh, this sunbeam's all mine."

Pause, wince at the line, carry on.

"How are you doing, Rose?"

Rose only wrinkles her nose a little at the cheesiness; after all, she did set herself up for that one.

"Oh, you know. About the usual."

Her bright grin betrays any sort of boredom the statement might've otherwise conveyed.

"Never the same place twice, except here and home. Just between you and me? Here's better."

He taps his nose surreptitiously.

"I won't tell your mother. Not that I've ever met her, but I won't use my obvious secret-spilling telepathic frequency to let her know."

Rose starts to laugh, but is suddenly struck mute with horror at the thought of her mother, Jackie Tyler, meeting or even being in the same room as Jack Harkness.
Given the dispositions of both parties, any likely outcomes would result in her being unable to even look at either of them again.

"... right, Jack? You can never ever meet my mother. Ever. And I mean that."

[othercaptjack]

"...Would we not get on?" Jack asks innocently.

Sort of.

But he can understand a 21st century mother being less than impressed by him, he supposes. But he could always flirt his way-

Oh, right.

"...Sorry, forget I asked that."
