Panem serves as a simple answer -- but not a satisfactory or very complete one, Jack knows, in light of what's happened. He's only ever heard from Eowyn how wonderful Faramir is, how much love she has for the man. And not knowing their relationship much beyond that, what might be lacking in it, and with seeing how much this all must pain Faramir, Jack hadn't wanted to openly speculate and twist the knife in deeper.
But, truth be told, he's seen an intensity to her, a wildness in her that matches well with his own. If there is an answer to why here and why now, perhaps that plays a part in it. He couldn't say that for certain, however.
Faramir's next question draws a bit of a reaction from him, a sharp blink and sudden tension that coils into his shoulders. No, of course not is the first response that Jack nearly blurts out, mouth open already to say it. Except, the words don't actually make it out. He shifts uncomfortably in his seat instead, and it takes a moment for him to actually answer.
"I care for her." Quite a lot, judging by the tone of his voice and the way Jack says it. His mouth presses. "She's madly in love with you, mate, if that's your worry. She's made that quite clear."
