[After the caves, Jack has been feeling even quieter and more withdrawn than usual. He's torn between trying to figure out what exactly happened and trying to forget the whole thing. He's kept his distance from Kara, just a little, feeling like he's too dangerous to be around anybody, much less anyone he cares about. He should be kept isolated, away from anybody.
But he stays with Kara anyway. Maybe he'll... get over it. Maybe it'll all just go away.
And then as night falls, he feels like he just. Needs to get closer to her. It's not even something he thinks about consciously, it just... happens. But as he edges closer to her, hoping not to disturb her as she's writing, he realizes he doesn't just need it, he wants it too. So he tries to be subtle, even if it doesn't quite work, and when he's finally right next to her and she asks her question, he shrugs a little.]
omg adorable
