The smile falters on Jack's face only for a second. He wants to shoot her a reassuring grin, but she is startlingly younger than the people around her. It's got to be a mistake, right? But if she was out there in the Interdimensional Cloud, she needed rescuing. Maybe she won't have to pick up Jobs like everyone else.
"Nice to meet you, Ellie." Kinder, calmer, without the overly nice tone that he's been using on everyone else. Something more genuine. The scared kid is not going to respond well to false reassurances. Teenagers especially have a tendency to call Jack out on his crap faster.
"The Center has a food court, or there's some smaller restaurants and food carts nearby. What do you like? I can lead you to it." Because maybe answering her questions will go better away from the crowd and the noise of dealing with everyone all at once.
