When Clary confessed she was trying her best to relax, that was the moment Jack knew pressing her on her real memories was out of the question for the time being.
Inwardly, he sighed to himself. Taking a girl by the shoulders and trying to convince her her world view was a delicate construction held together by a hope and a prayer was better left to other members of Class Zero. Queen would have demanded Clary pay attention to the danger. Even Trey probably knew a thing or two about dredging up buried memories.
But Jack...?
When it came to the roles and responsibilities of Class Zero, he was supposed to be the fun one, the one without worries. That was his job. It was strange to think, but he supposed the job of the Jack he remembered in Wayward Pines was to be Clary's friend. For now, those two duties overlapped in not wanting to upset her unnecessarily.
"Worrying will give you wrinkles," he agreed, falling into step. "I guess once you've seen a case of amnesia, you've seen them all. The people in charge probably have better things to do..." Spoken in a town that suggested a sincere sympathy toward the authority's obviously jam-packed schedule.
