[Colin sits down next to Jack, or rather across - one leg pulled up to his chest, the other dangling over the side of the rock, upper body turned towards the other man (his soulmate. Can that really be?).
For a long moment, he just sits there, looks at Jack - and then he reaches out, cautiously, his fingers seeking out the source of the glow on Jack's chest in wonder. Can that really be a reaction to him? If they are, it should feel... warm, he thinks, and like coming home. That's what his feels like when his hand comes to rest on Jack's chest, laying flat against the thin fabric over his heart.]
Colin, [he responds to the introduction rather belatedly, having been too taken with the glow, with needing to find out how it would feel, with needing to make sure that it wouldn't... repulse him, burn him, push him away, show him that he was wrong, that this is not for him, of course not.
But it is, isn't it? Through whatever clerical error there is, it seems like he has a soulmate after all. His eyes come back up from where they were glued to his hand on Jack's chest, nothing but reverent wonder now where there was confusion and worry before.] I never thought I would... [He's still not over it. But he's starting to embrace it.]
