[ Jack listens as Rhys hurriedly starts to explain, but the explanation doesn't actually help all that much. He shakes his head and holds up a hand as he takes on an incredulous expression of his own. ]
So, what, you really piss off Tas-- [ Jack's response is so immediate that he forgets what Rhys has told him, because of course Jack just assumes that Tassiter would be Rhys's boss. The guy is kind of everyone's boss, so obviously? Though even so, it's probably a good thing that Jack jumps to his own conclusion here, since otherwise, he would have assumed that Rhys meant his face, and that wasn't going to be helpful in the "totally not creepy" department.
So honestly, Rhys's arm is the real hero here.
Jack stops mid-sentence abruptly as Rhys just... punches himself in the face, making a sort of woah of surprise and taking a half step back. The surprise stays on his face, but it's at least not judgement. Or at least not for the confusing garbage spilling out of Rhys's mouth. There's a brief moment of silence, and then Jack offers quite hesitantly: ]
Yyyyyou doin' okay there, sir?
[ Rhys really only gets the stir as a stand-in for Jack mentally going "crazy person." ]
