[Now that he's a little more stable on his perch and in his snack and drink of choice (he might be eating ice cubes now, but he's paused that too for a moment), Jack has the leisure to actually concentrate on the conversation they're supposed to be having. As best he can, anyway. There's a long moment where he regards Tenn at least semi-thoughtfully, either in the midst of reading the mood or just very slowly registering the turn in it.
At length, he smiles a little -- it's a little less silly, a little quieter. The lushnesss of the night has sweetened it almost to the point of crookedness but there's something somehow sad hiding in the corners, all the same.]
Forcing myself... would be the opposite? Forcing myself away, because of everything... I'm not strong enough for that at all. [literally? metaphorically? he's just a pile of mush out here and he drops his eyes to his ridiculous glass full of ice] So I'm here like this...
