WHO: Jack Harkness & Rose Tyler
WHEN: Day Two, evening
WHAT: Two very old friends finally run into each other. Unexpectedly.
WHERE: Ren Faire. Why, no, Jack isn't checking out men in tights.
RATING: TBA
STATUS: Complete


Day one was mostly a blur as far as Jack Harkness was concerned. He'd gotten his key and his diary, met an interesting bloke or five and had quickly escaped to the room he was provided. Stuck in the middle of nowhere, with absolutely nothing familiar. No Hub, no Cardiff, no nothing.

While Jack may have been used to this whole bounding about through the galaxy thing he certainly didn't fancy being plucked from his bed and tossed to universes unknown. Rather rude if you asked him.

Still, after spending the whole of the first day in his room, prodding at his wrist strap and hoping that the King's warning about never leaving was nothing more than an empty threat (because, really, a 'space hopper' should have been enough to get him out of here), Jack knew he had to get out before he drove himself bonkers. The second day brought exploration, still meeting others and trying to make the best of the situation. By mid-evening, Jack found himself at the Ren Faire -- which wasn't a bad place to be as far as Jack was concerned.

Men in tights and women wearing corsets. It was a dream come true.

The longer Rose fell into silence, the more Jack worried. He didn't like seeing Rose like this: the woman he had seen time and time again was so strong, so unflappable. What other woman would have worn a union jack t-shirt, flying over London during the blitz? True it had been poor timing on her part, but she had still worn it, not found something else.

"Suppose it was," Jack said with a grin that didn't quite meet his eyes. "So many species so little time, I believe the Doctor once said about me. Gives me the chance to try them all on for size."

Jack rose from his chair, moving to kneel in front of Rose. He took her hands away from her face, covering them in his own larger hands. "Rose, look at me," he said, voice taking on a more forceful tone. "I don't blame you for what happened so don't you go blaming yourself either."

She hated when he looked at her like that. All serious-like. Like he was so wise and so smart. Like he knew her. And he did, she supposed. Probably a hell of a lot better than she knew him just then.

Rose pulled one hand away from his, but instead of using it to hide, she reached out and touched his cheek lightly. "You don't deserve this," she said softly, her index finger tracing the lines on his face that were the only sign of aging. And certainly not two thousand years worth of it. "I mean... You deserve to live but... You were a hero that day, Jack. Leading everyone, rallying support. If you'd died...just died, a normal, every day death..."

And yet, would she have traded this? Having him here, being able to hold him and talk to him and have someone on this God forsaken place who actually understood her? She wasn't sure she was selfless enough to say that. "I'm sorry. But then...I'm not sorry, either. Does that make any sense at all?"

But Jack did know her far too well -- at least, most of the time. There were certain people he could read easily and Rose was one of them. There was just something about her that awoke that need and desire to take care of and to protect.

Jack allowed her to pull a hand away, gently squeezing the one that was left in his own. Closing his eyes for a moment, he leaned his head into her too gentle touch, Jack would have given anything to know what she was thinking. Anything. "Dying at the hands of the Daleks is not a normal, everyday death. I've died the normal deaths and the not so normal." He winced, thinking of the javelin.

Turning the hand he held over, Jack brushed his lips across her knuckles. "Yes, it makes sense. For the longest time I cursed this, what had happened to me. And then I realised what a blessing it was at the same time. Here, I can help people. I can do what the Doctor would do. There are times... it's been worth it."
