A smile tugged at the corners of Jack's mouth as he let the neck of the bottle of vodka fit between fingers as he grabbed two glasses stacking them and in a feat of balancing managed to also get his bowl of food and follow Adam into the other room. They probably both needed to just sit down and take a breath, but really there were still moments when Jack felt like there was no air in the room to take in.
Taking it in stride though was actually getting a bit easier for Jack given the circumstances of late. He'd been through more than his fair share of the insane lately and maybe this wasn't so far off the books for him just yet. He at least thought maybe he owed it to Adam, and probably to himself as well to at least see it through... to what end even Jack wasn't sure himself but he knew what he was feeling, and for once it wasn't something that he knew would have to end because of just what had happened to him.
Setting the tumblers down and then his bowl as well, Jack eased into the couch, leaning forward so his elbow rested against his knee for a moment while he poured the vodka into the glasses and then leaned back passing one to Adam.
"To good thoughts," Jack toasted, thinking it was slightly ironic and still light hearted enough that the smile he gave Adam would give him some sort of ease that he too was just trying to figure it out and wasn't trying to make things overly complicated. Despite how overly complicated they actually were turning into. He almost wanted to forget the discussion and just let his head fall against Adam's shoulder and shut his eyes and just fall asleep but even that just seemed too easy of an option. So instead he toasted the moment and tried to actually eat something because he knew if he didn't it would make him even more awake at night.
