[ Which doesn't make it much better. A lot of things race through his mind as to what he can say. He can't really think between his emotions running high.
Taking a deep breath and he concentrates on what he feels like he can actually do. That he wants to do. ]
[ It's the chest fallen tone of his voice that really carries the answer before what Zell actually has to say. ]
No sign of him. [ And then he'd probably gotten even more worried and then he probably hadn't thought to say something to them. Rushed ahead on into finding Jim, but considering the state Jim's in, Zack only has to roll back his sleeves a bit to catch the odd color his skin's turning and swallow hard. ]
He's changing like me. S'why he left, but.. that's why you gotta find him. I know this stuff scares the shit outta him and I don't want him facing it alone. But I go with you and the risk's even bigger. Kunsel can handle me if worst comes to worst, but no one's got Jim's back right now.
[ What Zack is saying is confusing initially, and his head is full with catching some sign of the brown jacket below, that he initially misses part of what the other is saying. ]
Yeah I know. I know he's changing. [ He sounds a little frustrated at that. ]
He sent me a message a bit ago... [ Moving to the glass to check below. All the snow is making it hard to even see prints, especially from above. ] Was hoping he would change his mind- [ Then his thoughts come to a screeching halt as it connects what Zack is saying. ]
[ Jim holds it up, aiming at a window but making no move toward firing it. Even the weight balance is different from back home. ]
They look a lot alike, but the firing mechanism's completely different. There's nothing here to heat the plasma.
[ The mention of Jim's room changes the sp]ace around them. For a moment, they're in a burning building, a single open window ahead the only escape. Jim blinks and it's gone - it never happened. ]
[ There is something amazing watching Jim handle the old gun. Watching his expression change and aim it. He leans forward as he listens. ]
The plasma?
[ And then he nearly jumps at the fire that appears around them for a moment. It's gone pretty quickly and there was no heat or smell to it, but it's enough to get him looking at Jim incredulously. ]
[ It's only belatedly that it hits Zack that maybe he shouldn't have been so abrupt in telling Zell that. That maybe that was too sudden. Too late now though, so he chews his lip a few seconds and then powers through. ]
Yeah... I only figured it out not too long ago. It wasn't very noticeable at first, but Kunsel felt sick last time he touched me. You know what that means.
You sure it's not leftover sickness from the last buildings? Or any bodies near by?
[ This is all happening pretty fast and he doesn't like it. It hasn't been that long since Jim decided to leave for everyone's safety and now Zack is feeling it too. ]
Hopping up to stand behind Jim. Putting a hand on hips hip as he helps him get into position for punching. Pausing a moment to press a kiss against the back of his neck. ]
[ Leaning against the wall of the skywalk as he looks to Morph as if to defer to the blobs' opinion. Said blob is making worried chittering sounds as he keeps looking through the glass for any sign of Jim below. ]
In a way. I've been thinking about it. [ And trying not to overthink it or get Kunsel worried in the meantime. He can feel the tension rolling off of him already to know of that very real fear. Feel the denial that might be wanting to roll off his tongue, but there's no chances to be taken here. Nothing of that sort. ]
Everything ties in around here. We know that much. Me and Jim had our "lights" or whatever taken away from us, but you two didn't and neither of you are showing signs like we are. I'm thinking maybe it has something to do with that. Doesn't matter one way or the other right now though. The point is we're dangerous- the both of us. Especially if things go as sour as I think they're gonna go.

He showed you?
