[ Jim is still, subtly, bracing himself: even he doesn't even realize the way he keeps a little of his weight on the floor rather than Zell, prepared for the moment he dissipates again. Even so, Jim can't help but enjoy being enclosed in those arms again.
He wants to stay like that as long as they can, but he feels Zell leaning back and matches him. He stares, not quite believing what he's hearing, but -
Yeah, that's Zell. And it's so clear and it's real. At least, Jim thinks it's real. He's not sure he cares just then. ]
You're back. [ They both are. Jim wipes Zell's tears and he's hyperaware the warmth of them and the texture of Zell's skin. ] Clearest either of us have been in a while.
