[The video feed pops on to the sight of a dashing- if he might say so himself- man in his seeming mid-thirties, grinning widely at the camera; he has a somewhat period look about him, dressed in a button up, suspenders, and a greatcoat that speaks of war, but there's a spark in his gaze that speaks of mischief. After all, he's taken some time to read through recent activity on the network, and he's come across one very familiar name. It's a name he had not expected to hear again for some time, but if the tone of his voice when he calls it out is any indication, he's not disappointed in the least.]

Rose Tyler: what's a beautiful girl like you doing stuck in a place like this? [Jack gives a cheerful laugh, his grin stretching wide across his face.] It's been awhile. What do you say, you, me, a little celebration for our reunion?

[His eyes all but twinkle, and then he speaks again, addressing not Rose this time, but everyone else.] As for the rest of you; Captain Jack Harkness. [One hand raises in a half salute.] At your service. I'm sure it'll be a pleasure to meet each and every one of you. Until then, I'd love to hear more about this place, this- "In Between" business.

[Jack has to fight back a grin at her reaction, the way she bristles. He'd forgotten how she looked that way, in all this time, and it's a strain not to laugh, because he realizes suddenly how much he misses all her reactions, so very her. His eyebrows hike high at the last bit, though.]

If he hasn't looked at you that way, then he must be blind- or just not of that persuasion, which is alright too. After all, can't have too many eyes on you, Rose. I might have to teach you a thing or two about fighting, so you can beat off your admirers when I'm not around to do it for you.

Oh, he's of that persuasion alright. Trust me on that one.

[She rolls her eyes, trying to act exasperated. But really, she's got no idea what he thinks when he talks about admirers.]

Oi, come on now! Haven't been with anyone since Mickey. There's not exactly a line of admirers waiting to get at me, but guess I won't argue if you wanna teach me a thing or two.

[She pauses, looking awkward now.]

'Bout fighting, I mean.

That's only because you haven't stayed in one place long enough for the line to form. [He does grin now, mussing her hair teasingly.] And I say again- if he hasn't looked at you that way, he must be blind. You've got everything a guy could want, Rose. [He smile becomes a bit less teasing, more sincere here. The look in his eye warm.] The looks, the smarts, the courage. The Doctor doesn't take just anyone with him, you know, only the best.

[And then he nods in answer, shifting into a bit more of a solemn mood.] I'd be happy to. I probably should have a long time ago, but you know how the Doctor can be about fighting.

[She feels her cheeks turning red at that little bit about her, and she ducks her head to laugh it off. She doesn't really feel all that beautiful or smart, but she feels courageous now. Thanks to him and the Doctor.]

Don't worry 'bout him any. If I wanna learn how to fight here, I'm gonna. He'll just have to be happy you're the one teaching me.

[She gets a bit of a laugh, and he just resists the urge to tease her hair again.]

A real rebel, huh? We'll get you signed right up, then, Jack's school of rough housing.
