Jack? Before you start to worry, I'm alright. [Probably the least reassuring way to start a conversation ever. He tries again.]

I ran into a monster, but I'm not hurt. Spike saved me and we're at the Tier apartments at the moment but I'm concerned it may still be out there so we're staying here for the night. Please don't come over, I don't know if it's still outside. [There's a quiver in his voice, something that says he isn't saying everything right now, that something about this monster genuinely terrified him and the thought of it hurting Jack frightens him just as much.]

I'm be back in the morning. I just didn't want you to worry.
