Okay. But I hope that you're gonna take this little heart to heart to heart, ya dig? I'd hate to think that my best buddy wasn't as invested in this friendship as I am. That'd be a real bummer, doodlebug. For both of us.

[Jack's expression and tone might be all smiles and sunshine, but there's a dangerous tone underneath it all. He doesn't like it when he meets what he sees as resistance. And Rhys' behavior...it has gotten questionable. Not cool.]

[But hopefully Rhys gets the message.]

And I appreciate that gesture, that's real swell. I'm glad we got that all out there, ya know it's not healthy to bottle up your feelings. Leads to all kinds of unpleasant circumstances. Ulcers, insomnia...other stuff, whatever. [Jack chuckles a little darkly.] Anyway...

Chill.

[He leans over and smacks his mouth against Rhys' cheek, making an exaggerated kissing sound as he does.]
