[ Jim makes an agreeing noise, and then winces at himself. It's hard not to talk back or ask questions when he just wants to know. More than knowing, he wants to be able to solve the problem, or have enough information to maket hings better.
Instead he's still, letting Zell play with his hair as he holds Zell to his neck.
Something occurs to him, then, and he's wiggling around without actually moving away again. It only takes a few seconds to slip out of his leather jacket and wrap it around Zell's shoulders. Jim hopes Zell can see it if Jim's not wearing it, feel and smell it the way he always can.
Time compression - always comes back to that. Why does it always come back to that? ]
