I... [ Jim hesitates. It's one of those times when he's not sure if he should tell Zell what's going on inside his head, for Zell's sake. What he's already said has already upset his boyfriend.
Partners, he reminds himself, as he brings up his hands to examine Zell's knuckles. ] I'm not sure there's anything there to get out. It's just numb.
[ He lets Jim have his hand to investigate. He may be able to pick out the scars and scars on scars across his knuckles. Potions are a thing, but you couldn't stop in the middle to use one. Bumping the side of his face with his nose.
Feeling numb does raise his concern. It reminds him of being in shock until the entire thing crumbles down. He's not going to insist one way or another. Pressing a gentle kiss against a brow. ]
Are you okay with that? [ He might just be projecting, but he wouldn't be okay with that in Jim's place. but then he does the whole not dealing with things thing ]
[ Jim feels familiar with these scars by now, after the amount of time he's spent exploring Zell's hands. He doesn't like any of them - he'd rather Zell weren't hurt at all - but they're part of the package he loves. His thumb pauses where he'd been tracing one when Zell kisses him. ]
I think it's easier that I am. I can keep going. Enjoy doing stuff with you. Help.
[ Tucking his face against Jim's neck. Breathing in the smell of leather and everything else that makes up his boyfriend as he thinks it over. He'll just have to be okay with it until Jim is ready. Nuzzling him as he breathes out against his skin. ]
Alright. Whatever you need to keep going. [ Pausing. ] Just know that if you want to stop for a moment, I'm here. I'll remind you how to enjoy stuff again
[ He'll pick up the pieces and stick to his side no matter the squalls. ]
i keep trying to reply and laughing like an idiot goddamn it
When this is over, let's just lay in bed for a few days straight. [ He's lowering his voice as he moves to press his mouth close to Jim's ear. Don't need any pink bubble gum looking critters repeating anything ]
[ Turning into him to press a kiss against his cheek. ]
Maybe we can convince Morph and Mochi to bring us food. [ That would be a good trick for the critters to learn.
The whole thing sounds pretty perfect though. Some where away from the snow where it's safe and warm. Some where they can call home. Moving a hand to brush his knuckles against the side of Jim's face. ]

[ When they're home, or somewhere like it. When Jim believes they're safe. ]
Maybe then I can. Until then I'm going to do my best to keep us moving.
not the only time something arrived early huh ;D
Make a fort and ignore everything.

good place to stop?
[ It does sound perfect. Jim catches Zell's hand and holds it tight in his own. ]
We'll just have to see when we get there.
Yeah
We'll figure it out once we're home.
[ At least get back to Jim's world. ]
