"I never lied." Jack replied flatly. Though he hadn't gone to Kieran first, or asked his permission. He also didn't feel it was something he'd needed permission for. He'd been responsible (well partially, but of course Jack took it all on his own shoulders) for Edi's capture and when Kristoph said they were going to get her- he was going to be there.
But, though he knew Kieran would have been worried, he hadn't meant to hurt him. "I din mean t'upset ya. I jus-" He held his hand opened toward the other man. "'M sorry I worried ya. But, y'know gettin' us home... gon'be jus as hard. M'gonna be safe as can be, but risk's still there. But, like I wasn' alone t'day, I won' be alone then."
