not it!
[ Really, it's probably not fair to already call it without him knowing, but what's a little harm in dumb crap like this? ]
but yeah. yeah I see what you're saying. I feel like if my PHS back home could take pictures I mighta used it too. not that cameras aren't a thing back home but they sure aren't as advanced.

interfering with the signal huh? what? was someone taking out the towers or something? that was really the only time ours were messed with. well and if you were out in some backwater town.
[ That's really the only way he could figure they would be messed with.. ]

I think it helped. [ Jim's quiet, enjoying being the center of his boyfriend's focus. He's too exhausted to feel much, but the sound of Zell's pride is echoed faintly in Jim's chest. He did do it. ] I know it helped.
[ He's quiet again, thinking. Even if Jim were an optimist, it'd be obvious this isn't enough to make him the way he was before, but it's enough to start repairing the cracks. ]
So now I keep doing it. Over and over again.

[ He does remember the mention of the sorceress though it feels a long time ago. ]
so she interfered with that too? well I guess if she was that powerful you had to launch her into space and she was STILL causing problems that must have been child's play to her. damn. no wonder. and then you have monsters chewing up what you CAN hotwire. sounds like a pain.

[ What? They totally count!
At the mention of airships, Zack's already raising an eyebrow. ] Nah, they've been just getting off the ground lately. ShinRa has this one big one, but that's about it. I take it they're big where you're from?

I'm not being brave. [ Jim captures Zell's hand and squeezes it. ] It's... We've been here about six months, right? And I don't think a day's gone by that someone hasn't died. And at first every one hurt so bad.
[ He sucks in a breath, trying to gather his thoughts. ]
Even the ones that were strangers. Tadashi, Cloud, Hiro... [ Those had been worse than bad. Jim rubs his hand over his own eyes, shielding them for a moment. ] You remember what happened. What I did. After that ... I guess I couldn't let it hurt that much anymore.

[ Zack can't help but whistle at the thought of lots of flying aircraft. But wait- ]
Hey- back up a moment. The Gardens can fly? As in your homes?

[ There's maybe a longer pause before Zack finally replies. It's so subtle yet. ]
them huh. yeah. yeah I guess it would become a lot easier with the sorceress gone.
hey Zell. you know we're gonna get outta here right?

[ Never know with this place. It does Bad Shit to people. ]
not going back to your world. so does that mean you're going to Jim's I take it?
[ A part of him really isn't all that surprised. But still. It's not as if Zell has nothing back home from what he's been told. He has friends back there. Friends and a mother back there and a world that's found peace. Not experiments and betrayal and death.
But for all Zell's shown in times where emotions run high to act before thinking, this is something that's had plenty of time to be sat and thought on. And if it's what Zell wants, it's likely been what he's already thought through for a while now. ]
