[He isn't mocking Jim. It's just a question of perspective. After a moment he realises that perhaps he should clarify that.]
But maybe I would. Enjoy it, that is. He's a good lad. You should be happy - both of you. Whatever you end up doing. Be happy. Rage against the dying of the... something. Don't let it take you. It will, but you fight. You fight.
[ He opens his mouth to argue, but is pacified at the compliment towards Jim. Thankfully none of that is really shown on the feed as he already forgot he has it aimed at the tanks. ]
A treasure map was involved. [ And that's all he'll tease with. HOPEFULLY HIS FRIENDS AND BOYFRIEND WILL GET ALONG SOME DAY. ] Not going to let it take me. I still have a lot left to do and promises to keep.
Really. [That is actually a note of intrigue in his voice, though as muddled as the rest. And skeptical, of course.] Maybe I'll tell you a thing or two about treasure maps too, one day. Maybe you'd both like that. That one time when we were... we were... I forget.
[He says that oddly, almost like that makes him sad.]
But - yes - keep your promises. All of you young folk. I'm glad.
Yeah, really. There were pirates, too. [ Okay, maybe he'll drop another teaser. His boyfriend had pretty amazing and dangerous adventure. ] I'd like that. [ A pause as he glances towards where he knows Jim should be. ] We both would.
[ He won't press about Beckett forgetting. He's drunk or something. ]
I'll do my best. He makes it worth keeping them, you know. [ Cause Beckett needs to hear him being sappy. ]
