Must have been a good mother. [ Not all of them are. Not nearly. ] Or you just don't mind genocide much.
[ There's that too. Jack knows he minds it less than others. Not that he doesn;t mind it at all, or that the lives they will take doesn't weigh on him. But after war and royalty, you get desensitized. Compartmentalize it.
Jack's brows lift at the question shot back at him, and he considers for a moment, arms crossing over his chest.
He could pulled what he'd done with Peggy - ask her first and then witholding his own answer. No one called this a give and take deal. But at the moment, and for the last several hours with his sister and David arriving, Jack's felt a bit more torn open and raw than he typically is. Honesty may salt the wound or feel more soothing. Either way, he allows an answer, or part of one, at least. ]
