Feeling the weight of his past self's gaze on him, the Doctor glances back to him, and flinches a little under the weight of that regard. What is that - pity? concern? fear for his own future? All perfectly justified, possibly, but...
Whatever it is, this Doctor is fairly certain he doesn't want it. He puts on a bright grin, all cheerfulness and enthusiasm. "Oh, you've met Rose and Jenny! That's brilliant! Although... Jamie, I wouldn't believe everything Rose tells you about me. Especially if she's mocking me." Apparently, Jenny's safe to listen to. She still idolizes him, for the most part.
And... that may not have been the most subtle means of steering the conversation in a direction he's comfortable with, but he's not looking for subtle now. He's not talking about it is the message here - the other Doctor will understand, and he's fairly certain he can direct Jamie's attention elsewhere without much trouble.
