[ There's Jack, leaning into the excitement aspect more than the concern. To be fair, it's easy to do that when you don't have to worry about life, but he's always been this way. When he was mortal he had a reckless streak a mile long too. He likes adventure and sentient hyperintelligent dinosaurs sound like something worth exploring.
He smiles at Newt's attempt to be reassuring and shakes his head, setting his drink down. ]
Don't worry about it. I'm not under any illusions. We're not here to have a pleasure cruise.
[ Jack agreed to the situation, although at the time he wasn't 100% certain what it all meant, but now he is here and he's rolling with whatever comes at him. If it turns out that the promise to alter a regret was true, it will be worth it. It's not as if he had anything more important to do, having finished saving the Doctor and the world again from Daleks. ]
Honestly this is pretty much my usual life, only usually I fly by the seat of my pants, not with any help or breakdown of a mission.
[ Even when he was in charge of Torchwood, plans were a nebulous thing for him. He tried whenever necessary, but so many of their jobs ended up being guessing as things went and being happy they survived it. The Doctor's lifestyle syncs up the same way. Jack is laidback about it, fairly similar to how the other Team TARDIS members seem to take things off the cuff. ]
One thing I've learned is to take advantage of every minute you aren't in the field and be grateful for them.
