[ Jim can play spot the blonde eight year old in a photo. The framed photos around around the place have pictures of a younger Zell, his Ma, and someone much older in a uniform and a white beard.
Once Jim joins him in the living room, he'll clap a hand onto his shoulder. ]
Ma, this is Jim Hawkins.
[ The woman is stand by two desks with papers and books opened. Jim may get a sense that she helps watch and tutor some of the local kids. She smiles brightly with relief in her expression as she looks at Jim. ]
What a surprise. Are you taking care of my rowdy boy?
[ Jim's sharp eyes pick out every one of the pictures, darting around to each. It's the same bright eyes and goofy smile that he loves, just in miniature, and he feels lighter for it -
-even as his stomach drops at being introduced. He stands up a little straighter and tries to look like a respectable person. He thinks he's probably not succeeding, but then she's laughing and seems alright.
Jim realizes he really hadn't put any thought into what to do now. ]
[ Zell is already getting antsy with Jim being right here in his living room. Sure, it's a dream or whatever the hell this all was, but his heart was still thumping and his cheeks were red. His hand is moving to Jim's waist as he starts to guide him away from his Ma. ABORT ABORT. ]
Let's go, Jim.
[ His Ma doesn't seem bothered by her son trying to flee already. She just beams a smile, probably in a similar vein of energy of her son's. ]
Thank you for trying. It's not often he brings people home.
[ Zell, meanwhile, is trying to direct Jim back to the first room and towards the stairs. ]
Yo, Steph. [ After all of that hell and conversations he had, he's tired. But there is a real undercurrent of warmth there. Like things are already looking brighter. ]
Yeah, we will be alright. Going to meet up with the other two soon. How are you?
[ His heart was thumping hard in his chest as he headed across the skywalk when the message alert sounded. Pulling it out quickly and feeling everything stop as he sees the name on the screen. Opening it up quickly and reading it. Reading it again. And then just making a frustrated noise
It didn't explain much. Immediately he fires a response. He's pretty desperate and that scared him. He was afraid this place spirited Jim away... or worst... ] What's happening? Jim? Talk to me please

You might enjoy the garage. [ His brows raise as something clicks in. Then he looks pretty excited. ]
And the training center!
[ Now he has an excuse to actually take someone to the make out spot. ]
IDK

Ma!
[ The woman laughs. ]
It's nice to meet you, Jim.

[ They definitely need to try the thing though. Kunsel will be so happy. Only not really, but details. ]

Date: 2017-05-26 05:08 am (UTC)[ The indignity, Zell!
Jim does perk up at the mention of the garage, but he pulls back to give Zell a look. ]
Wasn't the training center where people go to make out?
no subject
Date: 2017-05-26 05:22 am (UTC)I don't think they will. If anything, they will probably be mad at me.
[ Zell isn't really bothered by it. They can say or do whatever the hell they want. He's not going to be bothered.
He will look like he just got caught doing something. Giving a sheepish smile. ]
Yeah, it is.
It's quite the catch : D lets lure some friends to help : D
Date: 2017-05-28 12:48 am (UTC)Guess he should have a break before we pull something. He is donating blood.
[ So they can be butts later. ]
I'm not really hooked on these jokes, man

-Uh. Hi. It's nice to meet you too, ma'am.
[ That works, right? He's got manners. ]
I'm trying my best.
Re: I'm not really hooked on these jokes, man
Date: 2017-06-03 05:07 am (UTC)You keep things lively for him at least.
Okay. I'll let you go. Take care, man.
