[Their conversation stays on Jack’s mind, of course. It’s a small victory, but it feels important, like he finally has a way to get through to the kid—find common ground and make this less miserable, let him know he’s not alone. There’s an ulterior motive too, of course. Genji is a liability in the field until he gets his shit together (as evidenced by the fact that he needed entirely new limbs after his last mission), so Jack will facilitate this as much as he possibly can. Everyone wins.
When he gets the message that Genji would like to meet, it's a victory that's a bit bigger.
He postpones a phone call and clears his afternoon, unsure of how long this is going to take, but not wanting to have to rush out, not when there's progress to be made. Jack isn't wearing the blue coat this time--he's opted for a tight short-sleeved shirt and his utility harness, making his way down to the training gym.]
I told you I'd make time.
[Busy as he is, Jack likes to think he still keeps his promises. The lack of hostility in Genji's tone is noted, but he knows to approach with caution, figuratively speaking.]
