[ She wouldn't miss that voice, not after Abax and all that happened, and the week she spent being pissed as all hell that she'd probably never see his sour ass again. And she'd never thought she'd see him here, because no one went back with you. For all intents and purposes, she shouldn't even remember Abax according to the word from the others that left for home and came back. The first thing Erik says is pretty much lost on Jack entirely, as she's just staring dumbly, eyes a little wide. She's suddenly really glad she still had the bandage over the last tattoo she got in Abax, a cheeky, lame attempt to keep it out of Fox's sight.

And then, oh. Her hair. A hand goes up to check it, making sure she didn't acquire sudden onset mohawk or something weird before it occurs to her - Erik's never seen her like this. When she'd come back from the six more months spent in the galaxy she knew, he'd been gone. He doesn't know she's a teacher either. And like hell she's about to tell him. Slowly, a smirk pulls at her lips, half for his dumb comment, and half just... a weird kind of relief that he'd actually followed her here. But like hell that's going to be said either. ]

No shit. Sometimes hair grows out over about six months. It's a medical miracle. [ Eyeroll goes here. Dumbass. That smirk's now and grin and she gives a punch to his shoulder, a hard one. ] How's it feel being a space monkey?
