[ To be fair to Jack, the Jedi were already a mess. Not that Cal will ever say this, if he even noticed before the purge. But he does know their ways aren't perfect. They're not perfect. They can always be better.
Cal does, at the very least, notice Kyle's expression. Or lack thereof. It's almost familiar in a way he can't quite work out? To go blank in defiance of feelings you'd rather not dwell on in the moment. It's instinctive for him to want to ask if he's okay, but they're in the middle of a raging fire and Jack is about to cast a spell that may or may not work.
As Jack points out, the joke goes over Cal's head, but he gives a weak pity half chuckle anyway. He's sure it was very funny, buddy.
He's startled with how strong the spell comes in, with the clouds forming and the booming thunder — he briefly hopes that a thunder strike doesn't happen instead, and cause more fires, but fortunately that's not the case! His brows furrow, nostrils flaring as he takes in a whiff of the rain. Rain? Is that rain? Is that alcohol? ]
—Wait, what? [ Jack what are you saying??? ] What's happening?
