Are you my mummy?

He had been staying out of the Master's way as much as possible for the past week or so - it didn't take a brilliant mind like his to sort out that the Master didn't like him very well.  If it weren't for Rose, he was certain he'd have been dumped out into the nearest black hole they came across a long time ago.  As big as the TARDIS was, he knew

The Master wanted to be alone with Rose for a while, leaving Jack with no option than to try to entertain himself. The TARDIS was drifting in the vortex, ruling out the idea of finding a bar. Obviously the next best option was making his own bar - of sorts. He was certain he had stocked up on drinks on their last stop; even if he couldn't have some company, at least he could have the comfort of a stiff drink.

He walked into the kitchen, expecting to find it as empty as he had last seen it, and was surprised to find it currently in use.

By the Master's hand.

It had been nearly a week since he had seen John, and frankly he had almost forgot the other man was still on board. While the Master may not enjoy John's company.. well, Jack still wasn't sure what to make of him. But at the moment he was in need of company, and there was an old saying that he felt was appropriate.
'Beggars can't be choosers.'

"Well, well, well. What do we have here?"

At the sound behind him, John jumps with a start, nearly knocking the blender over in the process. Some of the smoothie is spilt onto the counter, but is hardly noticed as he turns around. He knew Jack's voice anywhere, but the ever-looming dread that the Master was nearby was enough to make him skittish from a kitten.

"Jack!" He said, almost sounding as relieved as he felt at seeing Jack alone, "Hello, care for a smoothie?"

Jack smiled at seeing John startle, knowing exactly the cause of it. He supposed he felt a little sympathy for him, but it didn't go beyond that.

He walked over next to John and leaned on the counter, running a finger through the banana mess before putting the finger in his mouth.

"Mmm. Not that bad - though I'm pretty sure it'd be a lot better in a glass." He turned to retrieve two glasses from the cupboard, "Haven't seen you in a few days. Where've you been hiding yourself?"

Augh, he hated it when Jack smiled like that. It may have looked nice, but unfortunately he knew what generally went on underneath it. But still, John wasn't about to pick any fights - especially since Jack was the Master's favourite pet.

"Me? Hiding? Never! I've just been busy, is all." Not bothering to clean up the mess, he disconnected the blender and poured it into the glasses Jack provided, "Say, speaking of busy.. Have you seen Rose lately? I wanted to ask her something."
