Hey, you don't have to be uncomfortable. It's an open offer. River told me because we are very old friends, and she cares about you. Which, by the way, is special, because despite the way she acts, she doesn't get that close to a lot of people.
[ By how she acts, Jack means very similar to himself. Friendly, warm, easy for people to get comfortable around. River does that, but they are both underneath it very guarded people. There is something to be said for opposites attracting, but just as much to be said about marrying someone just like you. Both can be good. ]
We can consider it forgotten for now. I could tell you about that time River pretended to be Queen Elizabeth.
Can maybe wind down on this one :D
