Corner of his mouth twitched, "And to think I was going to get married once the war was over if things kept going like they were." That had worked out on both ends, honestly, even they had stumbled across their own while he was gone and didn't know how to break the news to him. Still kept that friendship, and he'd even told Jack about it of course. "Should heal well enough, we'll clean around the stitching after we eat, okay?" Just to maybe help reduce any itching.

"Then we can take more meds while the MRE's heat up- and I pulled some choices." Leaning just enough, so he wasn't pulling away from that stroking hand, to present at least six different choices, letting Jack pick from them.
