UN: fuckthis

[Have an extremely exhausted sounding British man with more than a little edge of bitter sarcasm in his tone.]

Well, I suppose I should be grateful that it's not a goddamn tape recorder.

[aha, there’s the backstory. jack doesn’t need to know the details to find tim’s reaction understandable; humans get a certain way when grieving.]

I’m sure I would be if I had feelings. One of the perks of being my kind of monster. But for what it’s worth, I’m sorry for your loss.

[that bit about not having feelings isn’t true at all, but it’s a shield jack still clings to, even now. someday, she’ll need to face the trauma of her birth family’s rejection and her accidental murder of her parents, but it’s not something she’s going to tackle today, especially with a stranger.]

But I can’t answer that question in a way you’ll like. Sorry, but I don’t out anyone. What I can tell you is we’re in the minority here, and none of us are any more inherently dangerous than a human. And I can answer questions about myself, I’ve been out of every kind of closet for a long time now and I don’t mind talking about it, as long as it’s respectful.

[so … compromise?]
