[ Jim doesn't really know what to do with the hand on his face, but he's too distracted right now to give it much thought. He runs the hand he'd gestured with earlier through his hair.
He seems just as content to sit there with Zell forever. The school will be there. They're not going to starve. Right now they can stop moving and mourn absent friends for once.
He offers a weak smile at the implied promise, but if anything this is another reminder that there are no promises. Jim won't get the choice to send Zell or keep him; Norfinbury will. He's seen so many obituaries. ]
I'm not going to stop. We'll keep moving together, all of us. [ Hesitantly, he nestles a hand in the back of Zell's hair, where it's softer from sleep. ]
