[ Ana's more diplomatic phrasing still sends a message loud and clear, and Jack sighs to himself. She doesn't simply tell him "no," though. She has a good reason for refusing his suggestion, and that's part of the reason why they'd always worked so well together.
While he doesn't mind taking the fall for the sake of getting some more concrete information, he isn't going to do that to Ana. He may not care about his own well-being, but she does, and he isn't going to be needlessly reckless when she's the one who'd suffer for it.
In the middle of another bite of the sandwich, Ana offers to introduce him to people. It all seems so bizarre, given their situation and the fact that they've both been keeping to themselves for so long.
She's better at this than he is, that's for sure. Maybe that was always the case, as much as she'd let him take the lead back then, preferring to stay out of the public eye where she could. ]
