They had an amazingly great stride together. Jack wasn't sure how that was even possible given their height differences. Her head was level with his bicep. He slowed his gait which seemed to be enough. Or maybe given her excited energy, Jane had quicken hers as well. He wasn't sure and none of it mattered other than how well they fit together.

He only moved toward where she directed in acknowlegment and soon Jane was starting conversation again. "A gentleman doesn't kiss and tell," he answered wryly. His jealous nature didn't allow him to entertain thoughts over who may have been around before him. "And only a fool would easily give up his tales of woe. ...Let's just say, there's very little chance we'll run into anyone who's missed me."

Jack had kept eyes ahead when he spoke until the end, giving her a glance with a sheepish smirk. "Does that satisfy your curiosity?" he asked with a bleed through his accent again.
