She'd like you. [ Jim doesn't answer about how much he misses his mom, but imagining Zell standing in the kitchen at the inn, his mother shoving a spoonful of soup in his general direction and demanding he see if it tasted right… it makes him miss her all the more, but somehow it isn't as painful.
Zell would be hanging out in front of the fire, maybe, put to work because nobody got to sample the inn's food for free, but his mother would be humming something and maybe Zell would be tapping his feet as the two of them worked.
Jim'd come in from the cold and the two of them would be waiting for him and he'd be -
[He's smiling even if his friend can't see it. Smiling huge. There's something about meeting Jim's mom that makes him feel a little excited and a little nervous. Normally he doesn't mind when adults like him or not, but Jim's mom is different. He really does hope she likes him.]
I'll do my best. [To meet her. To have her like him. To see Jim's home. To know all about Jim and more. It's becoming important to him. Could it be because Jim just came back? Is it because Jim is starting to go from a friend to something like a best friend? He's not sure. He doesn't really want to worry about it too much. If it happens, it happens, right?]
Yeah. I can almost believe that when you say it, you know?
[ Jim aches to hug Zell, just then. He grips his tablet tight instead and closes his unseeing eyes, imagining their future together. The course they'd chart. ]
There is one way to find out. Stick with me and we'll find out together.
[If they could bring them hear in the first place, there has to be a reverse. They should be able to even visit other worlds. They were all linked now. He's gripping his tablet and pulling it close to bump the top of it with his forehead. Zell feels like they can do anything as long as they are together.]
