[Jim has told him he got busted by the coppers in the past.

Keeping his hands still as Jim shares the answer. There's a little of a smile as Jim shares that he helped someone. It doesn't really surprise him in the least. The mention of a cyborg and the look that crosses Jim's features is enough to cause Zell to tense for a moment. Brushing his thumb against his cheek as more questions pop up in his mind.

Squall. [He grins a bit as he kisses Jim's chin.] Some times he can be pretty cold, but he actually cares a lot. He's part of the orphanage gang and he's the leader of the group. He's pretty honest and strong. He saved my life before, which was pretty amazing. I didn't think he cared until he swooped in with his gunblade and took out the soldiers.

[That's what Jim wants to know, right? Leaning back as he thinks about what to ask Jim.] Tell me about your friends?
