[ If he notices just how distracted Jim is, he doesn't say anything. But then what more is there to say in that sense that'll not just make him worry more? At least the quiet click as the door finally seals... that's reassuring in its own way. Not that staying in the hospital's his ideal spot. The tension under his own skin won't be going away any time soon, but...
But that's something for him to worry about. Not Jim.
Jim... At least Jim's settling in. And eating hella fast for that matter. It almost looks as if he'd been starving as Zack collects the knife he had forgotten before coming back and sliding down the the wall to settle beside the cadet. Just in time, too, as he's offered out the last piece of jerky. The SOLDIER hesitates briefly before taking it with a soft 'Thanks' and nibbling away. Just because he doesn't have much of an appetite doesn't mean he ought'a not eat when that might rile Jim up more. -But then he mentions- ]
Cookies, huh. [ He... is going to attempt not to look too excited over those. It helps if not perhaps in the best of ways that they're in the hospital. Doesn't stop him from setting his tablet down on the ground close to the pillowcase, so he can better see what he's doing. Doesn't stop him from glancing up here and there out of habit, but... There's a vague smile as he continues digging. ] ..Sure you didn't eat 'em all?
